Duke is well worth it if you can swing it

Just assume your kid isn’t getting into the school they’re waitlisted at, then be pleasantly surprised if they get off one. Statistically, most schools don’t take that many off the waitlist vs. how many they put on.


Yeah for sure, and we’ve committed someplace we are happy with. But it’s out there! lol

No regrets (although that would have been a slam dunk if it came in March).


CNU? What's that? And did you take the spot?


Christopher Newport?


CNU is Christopher Newport University. We did NOT take the spot. Went with a medium-sized Jesuit school that offered an aid package similar to the price of CNU for us (in state).


Interesting. My DC was in the same situation and made the same choice (no to CNU, yes to medium-sized Jesuit with final bill comparable to in-state). They are very excited.
