Not so cool now that Charles did it
Hey all, I found out Thursday morning (as I typed my MUN papers the day I was leaving-yeah, I skipped school for MUN) I got into Duke.
Not only that, but the Angier B. Duke Scholars Program, which is potentially full tuition, a summer to study at Oxford, and other "nice things."
Charles, is this the thing you got? If so, cool, I get to see Charles in April, but crap, now there's major competition, lol. (They select 40 and take 15.)
You can't apply for this, but you can for the Robertson Scholars thing, so if nothing else, there's still that.
wow... I could be going to college with Charles. That would be totally kick-ass.

ooo, sweet! You don't have to worry about competition: I haven't received any scholarship information yet, just acceptance. Or does it come later?

In any case good luck with the selection process, and mucho congrats!

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Oh, and I'd like to revoke Dylan's punning rights.

Wooooooooo Matt!
You said you can apply for Robertson Scholars? How? I'm very interested in these big Duke scholarships myself . . .
And I second Meredith's motion vis-a-vis Dylan's highly-uncalled-for comment.

Can we take a straw poll on that? I think Isaac would agree that that's just bad form!
Congratulations Matt!

Whoopdedoooooo... congratulations!
From what I can find on the internet, that scholarship thing sounds amazing.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy. You had to send in an app for Robertson scholars in Decemeber, but if all goes well I shouldn't need that.
By the way, what do you guys think of a "Ha!" letter to Yale? If it's done tastefully of course.

This is of course not saying anything about the Yale people, you guys are great, but I think it'd be fun to write, even if I don't send it. (Duke and Brown were always higher on my list than Yale was anyway, but Duke and Brown were both Early Decision, and my parents wouldn't let me apply and be bound.)

I'm all for writing/sending one of the "In your face!" letters. Go and be free, Matt.

You might wait until you're super famous to make it even more poignant. ^__^
