<p>i’m currently enrolled at Melbourne University and I just got accepted ED to Duke. </p>
<p>I havent actually started at UMelb, and wont until February…</p>
<p>the thing is, if i enroll at Duke and still attend a term at Melbourne, can Duke withdraw my acceptance?? cause i’ll be technically enrolled at two colleges…</p>
<p>HELP!!! AHHHHHHH</p>
<p>yes, they most probably will rescind your admission.</p>
<p>They can, and they have done in the past. If you want to go to Duke, then I suggest that you withdraw from UMelb.</p>
<p>I dont think they will…because it is an international uni, and early decision only applies to US unis…</p>
<p>kjoodles got into princeton and he is still planning to study for a term in Melb uni.</p>
<p>well done for getting into Duke though! I’m put melb uni first on my preferences too but i dont have my ENTER yet!</p>
<p>People have had their admissions rescinded in the past for doing this sort of thing. I mean, of course if they don’t find out, then it’s usually fine, but it never hurts to be on the safe side of things.</p>
<p>you can always call up and ask…explain that you are definitely enrolling at Duke(assuming you are) and that you just want to get a feel of college life before you officially join,since you will be graduating soon(I assume you are) and will have nothing to do till september until you join Duke.</p>
<p>No. I’m not taking the risk anymore. I’m not going to attend Melb Uni. Thats final. I’m gonna find other ways to get my mind up to thinking capacity again.</p>
<p>I read the Princeton Freshman criteria and it specifically says not to start any other uni courses or watever so I’m definately not doing melb uni.</p>
<p>sry Jay01- guess I may not see you there after all :(</p>
<p>ah shoot. i should probably call Duke tonight and set things straight. withdraw my deposit… and pray duke doesnt have the urge to withdraw my acceptance.</p>
<p>any one have any ideas where someone who lives in malaysia can take college courses without going against any rules???</p>
<p>Well I know all my profs here at Utas and they’ll let unofficially attend their classes. Like I’ll be doing all the tests, and stuff and he’ll give me private feedback. I won’t be enrolled- just hanging about walking into classes :). After all- all you should be needing is to get your mindset geared up for college!</p>
<p>isnt duke better than melb uni? i mean, wouldnt you rather go to duke?</p>
<p>i am going to Duke. i meant, withdraw my enrollment at UMelb. :-D</p>
<p>I hear Melbourne has this Community Access Program, does anyone know anything about that?</p>
<p>Cause… community classes arent… bad… (?)</p>
<p>Isn’t that for things like basic english speaking or something? Sounds kinda suss.</p>
<p>Why don’t you just sit in for classes but not enroll as a proper student? I think that is legitimate. As long as you are not a student of another university, Duke can’t fault you. I’m pretty sure if you negotiate with the admin, they will allow you to sit in for a term of classes.</p>
<p>i have never heard of the community access program…hmmm</p>
<p>Don’t attend Melbourne U!!</p>
<p>They have done so in the past. Most colleges (most likely inv duke) says on their websites that entering freshman are not supposed to have attended a college-credited course (post acceptance).</p>
<p>Be safe. Like kjoodles. Just bum around for the next 7 months! How fun would that be? (go to disney land!)</p>
<p>if it werent what i’ve been doing for the past 9 months, besides office work, i’d seriously consider just chilling.</p>
<p>but the fact that i’ve been out of school since june and my brain is probably so out of gear if you asked me what 1+1 was i’d say 7…</p>
<p>If you get into Duke RD, i don’t think it would be a problem, but you got in ED, meaning you know about Duke’s accepance before UMelbourne’s enrollment. So i suggest you don’t go to Melbourne.</p>
<p>Ah, have a question myself. I am applying RD to US colleges, so i’ll know of the admission results only in April and i’ve been accepted to a new zealand university which matriculates in Febuary. Any problem if i go there and finish one semester?</p>
<p>Read the conditions for applying as a freshman carefully at whichever school your applying. If you do take a semester- that may violate the conditions of being a freshman and could get your offer recinded.</p>
