I’m also a potential Duke transfer (for class of 2013 though). First off, congrats! In the acceptance letter, Christoph Guttentag said there were 50 students admitted. I’m assuming 30-40 will actually enroll… I’m assuming the incoming transfers will form a tight-knit community. As you know, there will be a transfer student orientation, so by the end of that, we should at least know the other transfer students well. I’ve talked to other current transfer students at Duke, and they said they didn’t have much trouble making friends… they suggested joining clubs and getting involved in study groups early on to help with making friends. Hope that helps! Good luck with your decision… maybe I will see you at Duke next year :)
