| I think I might turn down Duke for UGA....for purely financial reasons. I wouldn't do the following, but I'm wondering....what would happen if I accepted both... wouldn't that buy me more time to think about it? How would they respond?

| There really is no point to "buying time" if you can't go for financial reasons.
Unless you are waiting to see if you will win the lottery next week  | |

| ^^ no offense, but that's an awful decision unless you're an emory scholar. Duke is a much better school in so many ways, including in the areas which Emory considers itself to be awesome(premed and business) | |

| CNI - gotta disagree with you. There are so *many* different reasons to select any one school over any other school that I don't think you can apply a blanket statement like that... | |

| Blugh - that article about Duke comparing itself to other schools is exactly why I crossed it off of my list. It screams "Me too!" | |
