r/DKU

From the people that I know who studies in China says that DKU doesn't have a great prestige in China and some don't even know about DKU (including domestic Chinese people). On the other hand, NYU shanghai is very well known and has higher prestige in China. And bc Nyush is located right in the city center there are more opportunities to network and all with more people. Is this true? I need help coming from a junior whos applying to colleges next year. Should I apply to DKU or NYUSH in ed?

Hey everyone, so I have just got off from the waitlist of Princeton University and I have to decide whether shall I take admission or wait for DKU’s decision I am standing on the waitlist. If I choose Princeton, so I’ll have to take a massive loan whereas I am watching that expenses in China and USA has a huge difference specifically when it comes to living costs board and all.

Did anyone receive one? If so, what came inside it?

Congratulations guys! Curious to know, how much scholarship you guys recieve and did you accepted or rejected the offer. How much time do you get to make a decision?

has anyone gotten off the waitlist and were you full pay or didi you need aid?

I actually don’t know how many of you have really received the update and got selected, but if you have been selected. congratulations! I want to know the at what time you received with time zone cause I didn’t received yet. Please tell us if you are accepting your offer or not and if possible any more details.

hey everyone! I'm on the Duke Kunshan waitlist and still haven't heard back. did anyone else not receive an update on May 8th? Is there anyone still waiting? trying to gauge if there's still a chance for those of us still on the waitlist

Hello! I got off the BU waitlist this morning and am currently weighing my options. Right now I'm committed to Duke Kunshan with the intention of taking Molecular Biosciences with a track in Cell n Mol Bio.

Just wanted to ask whether it would be worth accepting the waitlist offer. Here are some additional details:
- International student from SEA, chinese diaspora
- DKU gave me 50% off (~45k), while BU hasn't given a final number yet but they said all merit scholarships have been given out. I don't qualify for need-based aid so I am expecting the tuition to be full. Parents are open to funding whichever though.
- At BU I would probably double major in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Environmental Analysis & Policy.
- Plan on going straight to Masters after graduating and onto a career in research
- Boston is my dream city but im really not sure if that price tag is worth it 😞

Would appreciate any insight that might help me make this decision. Thanks in advance :>

Really want to go to DKU. Opportunity seems awesome but everyone said May 8th was the day for the waitlist to move

I'm currently committed to Bowdoin but I just got off DKU's waitlist with the same financial aid I'd have at Bowdoin... Do you thing it's valid to consider changing Bowdoin to DKU?

(I'm aiming to study AI and politics)
