I hear ya. But I'd MUCH rather be living in Chapel Hill. Super nice town, Durham is pretty iffy in places. But hey, since you'll officially be down there, a summer WL isnt the end of the world for you. If anything, since you'll be local at the time (and make sure they know it) you'll have a better chance of being accepted at the last minute.
Good luck today, but if it doesnt work out you still have plenty of time left.
Yeah, the part of "Durham" I'm in is Durham in post code only. Time Warner and Duke Energy both call it Chapel Hill. More or less nestled in between Chapel Hill and Cary but still in Durham County proper. You go the one minute into Chapel Hill and prices go up 30%-40%. I was worried about "Durham", as well, but I have friends and family in the area that could scout out the area for me previously.
Yeah, I honestly didn't know how to play the "I'm going to be living in Durham regardless" card. Hopefully that's seen as a positive instead of a "maybe he'll just apply next year"...even though I have a good offer from K-F. Who knows?
Good luck to you too
