Hi - I am visiting Duke next week since I'm going to be in the area for an interview at UNC, and wanted to check out the campus, etc. I applied round 2 and I know interview invites don't go out for a while, but do you think there's anything I can do while I'm there to get some visibility with the admissions office, or even chat with students, etc? Let me know if anyone has had a similar experience. Would hate to be down there and not take advantage of an opportunity. . .Thanks!
Duke started its prospective student visits this week (option of class, tour/lunch & students in the admissions lounge pretty much all day), have you checked the website to see if you can sign up? It runs every week through the end of February. It does not run on Wednesdays when we don't have class though. I really would not worry about getting time with anybody from admissions (most people will never have talked to someone from admissions prior to being admitted), just sign up and they'll know that you were there.
Thanks so much! I am visiting campus Monday. I have a question for those of you who visited and did not have an interview. What did you wear? I feel like a suit would be too formal, but every day clothes too casual. I am thinking dress pants and a conservative shirt? Let me know - I may be acting nitpicky but I want to make a good impression. Thanks!
