<p>[The</a> Gerst Program](<a href=“http://www.poli.duke.edu/gerst/]The”>http://www.poli.duke.edu/gerst/)</p>
<p>Hi all. If there are any Dukies currently in Gerst or if you know anyone doing it, could you share your thoughts and experiences with the program? I’m a prospective student waiting to hear back in early April (applied RD) but if I’m admitted, it would certainly make my decision (and the decision of others with interests like mine) a lot easier if we already had some idea about the program. I’ve liked what I read about this program on the above site and indicated that interest in my application, but I’d love to hear from those of you who’ve personally been through it or if you’ve seen its positive or negative effects on people you know.</p>
