<p>Hi everyone! My name is Denver Dunn. I wanted to start this thread so that we could get to know each other before April, that way it’ll be more fun.</p>
<p>Hello Denver and congratulations! I was selected as a finalist for this scholarship as well.</p>
<p>Sweet! So are you going to go?</p>
<p>Well for right now more than likely. I already spoke to my parents about it and I am just finalizing the plans to go. How about you?</p>
<p>Ha, I would never pass up an oppurtunity like this. I hope you come.</p>
<p>Yeah, it is a great opportunity and for right now, I am going. Where are you from Denver and do you know of any other finalist?</p>
<p>I’m from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I met a couple of other finalists through facebook: Athena Lao and Daphne Ez. They both posted on the Duke 2012 group if you want to find them. A person from Sweden also sent me a message, but they can’t go because their visa is expired. How about you H.A.12, haha. Whats your name and where are you from?</p>
<p>My name is Heberto and I am from south Texas. Yeah, I just saw Athena and Daphne’s comments on Facebook. Hopefully we’ll meet up on the 5th. By the way do you have MSN messenger or something?</p>
<p>have you guys made your final decision to go to duke or r u guys going to wait to hear back from other places</p>
<p>Heberto: I don’t really use msn, but I have my aim linked up through gmail im so I’m on there often. My aim is apxswmr. If you have gmail my address is <a href="mailto:tothetrains@gmail.com">tothetrains@gmail.com</a>. </p>
<p>Moongurl: I grew up in Raleigh so Duke has been my dream school since I was like…5? I’m still waiting on Chicago, Penn and Yale though…so I guess I’ll have to look at the big picture when I have it all. If I get this scholarship though, I doubt if any of those 3 colleges will measure up to Duke. Are you a finalist as well?</p>
<p>I am very excited to be invited to Duke as a AB Duke finalist. Have you spoken to your Duke rep and made your travel plans yet?</p>
<p>Congrats on AB Duke, that’s awesome. Haha, I made my travel plans like…4 minutes after receiving the email. How about yourself?</p>
<p>Thank you and congrats to urself as well. I will be making my phone call tomorrow:)</p>
<p>Hey everyone!! I’ll be at scholars weekend as a BN Duke finalist! I’m in love with Duke and so excited to meet you guys! congrats to everyone!</p>
