what does "native of North Carolina" mean?

If I was not born here but have been living in NC in last 5 years. Am I a native of NC?

My understanding is that you are considered a native if and only if you were born there (see: Native American). So, if we're going to get semantic about it, I'd say you are a local, but not a native.

Hey Everyone,

Was trying to do a search for this with no luck...anyone know where I can find the list of questions that Duke will ask of the people we choose to recommend us?

I know I have seen it around before.


Thanks

The first post has been updated. It now includes the Class of 2014 Profile.



Hey, I'm curious as to where you got some of the information on the first page...it slightly varies from the class of 2014 profile information on the Duke website, (ie GMAT range is different and there is no avg GMAT listed)

I don't know how to update the quick glance numbers so that chart still reflects the Class of 2013 Profile. I just added the info from the Duke website to the post. You'll see those numbers closer to the bottom of the post.

Call or email admissions to see if they can reset her recommendation form.

Also, you don't really need to cross-post this in the same forum....

Every school says they look at the application in a holictic manner, but do we all agree that essay is the most important part? thus it weighs more than other portions?

Recommendation Questions (2 recommenders)
•Comment on the applicant's interpersonal skills (effectiveness in establishing and maintaining relationships; working with supervisors, peers, and subordinates; willingness to work in a team environment).
•Description of applicant's peer group.
•What do you consider the applicant's primary talents or strengths?
•In what areas does the applicant need improvement or growth? If you have had the opportunity to provide the applicant with constructive feedback, please provide specific examples of the feedback and the applicant's response to it.

Are you guys putting space between each point on the 25 questions essay? I'm exactly at 2-pages when I don't put spaces between each point, so I wasn't sure if I'm putting way too much in each point.

Even I'm facing the same dilemma. But, I don't think we should put spaces. They haven't explicitly stated any such precondition, unlike the Why Duke question, where they have specifically asked for 1.5 line spacing.

Btw.....what is the ideal font and size to be used - arial or times new roman/11,12 ??

Do we have to upload the answers in pdf format or word?

You can usually upload in either format. I have found the format can get messed up in word format sometimes though. I had to submit my resume in pdf because it wouldn't upload properly in word. Always double check the "Preview" after uploading to make sure it doesn't go wrong.

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know if you can/should submit your application before your reviewers have submitted their part? Does it matter?

Best of luck to everyone applying EA!

Yes, submitting your app before your recs are in is fine. Just keep track of your recs so they get in by the deadline too.
