Duke (2022-2023)

[ionic basalt]

Even tho I was rejected already

[fringe rose]

my upenn shows that too

but yale says decided

[solemn pasture]

Mine doesn't say decided but it was updated like 2.5 hours ago

[quiet kiln]

It was a server wide update so it updated all the colleges

Is your thingy on “complete” still?

[solemn pasture]

Yes

None of my RD say decided lol

[quiet kiln]

Yeah same

Wait

Except Duke

Don’t look into it much

Doubt it means anything

[solemn pasture]

😭

Decisions are approaching have they not yet decided to reject me

[solemn pasture]

*to accept

[solemn pasture]

I made a joke in the interview about my mom going to UNC and then "repenting" and working at duke and the interviewer ate it up so if I get in it was just because of that

charisma points 🥶

[lethal quiver]

I wouldn’t be surprised if likelies come out tomorrow

[subtle knoll]

duke sendes likelies?

who cares lmao not getting one wtv

[lethal quiver]

Yes

[thick bronze]

ew

so many ppl in my duke thread

go away 😔

[sonic wasp]

doesn’t that mean you are in

if u got semi

[solemn pasture]

oh word?

im not gonna jump any guns though

[sonic wasp]

I mean if u got semi and ur app is decided then uhh

yeah

u got in

lol

[lethal quiver]

@solemn pasture u got semi?

[sonic wasp]

it would be weird for them to just reject you so fast after considering u for scholarship

[solemn pasture]

yah

[lethal quiver]

oh so u probably got in

[solemn pasture]

idk tho we'll see

still speculation

[thick bronze]

if ur decided rn

it is actually bad

the longer u are in consideration

then that means they are considering ur app to the very end

unless u have the scholarship things

[dull pollen]

no bruh

slate isnt even accurate

[lethal quiver]

yes it is

if it says decided they decided

[dull pollen]

i got into a school and it says "in progress"

its rly inaccurate

[thick bronze]

it's inaccurate in that case

[lethal quiver]

thats different

[dull pollen]

there was a thread about this on reddit

[thick bronze]

if it switched from complete to decided

[lethal quiver]

dude

[thick bronze]

then that's legit I think

[lethal quiver]

if its says decided

[spare pollen]

wait where is it say “decided” in portal

[lethal quiver]

its decided

[thick bronze]

yeah

[lethal quiver]

some colleges like penn hide

[dull pollen]

ok cool

[thick bronze]

the in progress thing is smth else that's broken

[thick bronze]

this

[dull pollen]

but complete doesnt mean u got in

[lethal quiver]

no shit

[dull pollen]

or wtv u were saying before

[lethal quiver]

i read the slate docs

[thick bronze]

yes obv

[lethal quiver]

colleges can hide status

[thick bronze]

it means ur decision is done

[lethal quiver]

or release it on a specific date

[marble talon]

Crikey

[dull pollen]

this false

[lethal quiver]

yeah thats 100% false

[thick bronze]

that's just me waffling

[lethal quiver]

if ur decided rn

ur probably not waitlisted

[thick bronze]

factos

[marble talon]

See this is what I’m talking about

I said this exactly would happen

[thick bronze]

it's not portal astrology is it 🤨🤨

[dull pollen]

slate astrology

[lethal quiver]

whats wrong with speculating

[marble talon]

Yes it is

[thick bronze]

but it's not a portal 😔

[marble talon]

We put materials related to portals under it

Bc y’all can’t sit still

[subtle knoll]

lmao

[thick bronze]

awww man

[lethal quiver]

yeah i have adhd

[subtle knoll]

just ignore the site who cares u get in or u dont and no website is gonna change that

[marble talon]

[lethal quiver]

@marble talon can u add a blackjack bot

[marble talon]

Eh

Y’all barely use uno

[solemn pasture]

Robertsons and Duke app processing is separate

[solemn pasture]

bro read through 5 generations of star signs to get this reading

[opal rose]

didnt even know there was uno

[solemn pasture]

this n the fact that i doubt they speak to each other unless theyre deciding the scholars

But it still means you have a very good chance of getting in

[lethal quiver]

semi robertson is very good shot yeah

[marble talon]

Added to the pinned post

[solemn pasture]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[thick bronze]

you dont see the vision

[quiet kiln]

Portal astrology is fun for me tho

[marble talon]

Go to #1050634716593799269

It’s uno time

[lethal quiver]

can we play uno but with slate pictures instead

[marble talon]

Not enough

[quiet kiln]

Didn’t apply cause I wasn’t quirky enough 🤪

[marble talon]

It’s fine everyone is welcome everywhere as long as they’re not rude

[quiet kiln]

It was a joke 💀

[marble talon]

Lol sorry

[quiet kiln]

Nah ur good

[lethal quiver]

someone should make a script that checks slate for decided

[ebon gale]

wait what is slate??? how do I use this??

[lethal quiver]

https://slate.org

[marble talon]

It doesn’t help with anything

You may see the word decided that as multiple people have said in here may not even line up with your decision

It doesn’t even say if you got in

[ebon gale]

ahhh gotcha

[lethal quiver]

Overall, Slate is a powerful and flexible SIS solution that can help higher education institutions streamline their operations, improve student outcomes, and make data-driven decisions.

[marble talon]

Ok

[ionic basalt]

Essentially just gives u the status of whether ur app has been decided or not for some schools

[ionic basalt]

But yea doesnt help knowing if it’s a rejection waitlist etc

[marble talon]

Does common app not tell you this exact same thing

[lethal quiver]

no

[marble talon]

P sure lor is there

Transcript may be diff bc I’m transfer

And mine does a diff system

[lethal quiver]

slate also has unique college discovery feature

[marble talon]

We discussed that

And how it had nothing to do with this

[lethal quiver]

i mean

i thought it was pretty groundbreaking during my initial serach

[marble talon]

That has nothing to do with whether or not I should allow discussion on the rest of this

[thorn thorn]

literally who cares use it if u want dont use it if u dont want to

[marble talon]

It matters because I’ve seen the subreddit erupt because everyone thinks it’s a sign

[thorn thorn]

im personally not spending my time refreshing slate every 15 minutes

ifyou want to go crazy

[opal rose]

ye i wouldve never checked if not for the duke shi lmao

[ionic basalt]

no one here thinks it’s a sign tho

we all understand it doesn’t mean anything

[opal rose]

enough ppl got it that seems pretty widespread

[marble talon]

Ask the subreddit

[opal rose]

unless ppl didnt

lmao

[marble talon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/11gmzvc/slateorg_question/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[ionic basalt]

yea but this isn’t Reddit

[marble talon]

You’re the applyingtocollege discord

Whether we like it or not we source from there

[ionic basalt]

no I get that but I’m saying that in this thread I feel like it’s controlled

[marble talon]

It’s easier to standardize

I’m glad you can control

Genuinely

Bc it’s a pain when people can’t

But for those who can’t elsewhere I don’t need them saying I’ve made exceptions

[opal rose]

fair

[lethal quiver]

carly is portal "astrology" discussion banned on here

[marble talon]

Yes

[lethal quiver]

why

[marble talon]

Same as this slate discussion

Kinda

[thorn thorn]

I went to a professional psychic to get my decisions early

[lethal quiver]

yeah

[thorn thorn]

she doesnt miss

[lethal quiver]

but why is it banned

for stress or something

[marble talon]

Mainly yes

[lethal quiver]

i mean come on

[marble talon]

But also the fact that misinformation gets wild

[lethal quiver]

ur on this server

[marble talon]

We don’t need people claiming theories as fact

[marble talon]

Literally half of y’all

[lethal quiver]

I dont think its anyones problem to stop misinformation on a discord server

[marble talon]

If this were an average server I’d agree. But this is a server people turn to for serious advice

[lethal quiver]

I wouldnt turn to this server for serious advice

[fluid cipher]

Portal Astrology would do nothing but stress people out tbh.

[lethal quiver]

thats not a valid argument

[thorn thorn]

Here's some portal astrology, if you cant figure out what "decided" means on Slate youre not getting in

[undone nymph]

my friend who’s dreams came true dreamed of me getting accepted to harv so i choose to believe

[lethal quiver]

misinformation is i guess

[marble talon]

Even the fact that you take any advice from here is a step up from most places

[lethal quiver]

true

[thorn thorn]

It was revealed to me in a dream

[lethal quiver]

r/a2c is a joke now

[marble talon]

Bc of the fluff?

[lethal quiver]

yeah i gues

[fluid cipher]

Instead of portal astrology why don’t you astrologize your chances of going outside

[lethal quiver]

no one really knows what they're talking about

literally no one knows

[thorn thorn]

i love the confidence people have when just guessing

[marble talon]

r/a2c grew too fast

The rate of professionals grew slower than the rate of kids

[thorn thorn]

it is quite entertaining

[lethal quiver]

its fine

after all

[thorn thorn]

to think the future of our brightest minds at the best institutions are having breakdowns over a font change on a portal is funny

[lethal quiver]

this is a text based chat platform

the brightest minds are not on a2c

lol

[thorn thorn]

I wonder how much of the ivy league classes have been on a2c

[marble talon]

Tbh atp I’ve largely turned to having this place be a source of comfort over a source of info

[lethal quiver]

not much @thorn thorn

[marble talon]

Census

[lethal quiver]

yeah thats good

[thorn thorn]

I'd say its a solid amount

[marble talon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/vrqook/ra2c_2022_census_results_class_of_2026/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[thorn thorn]

not like active users but

[marble talon]

Last pages

[thorn thorn]

have used it

[lethal quiver]

if ur in college and use a2c ur weird imo

[marble talon]

Debatable

[lethal quiver]

no

[marble talon]

I’d say it depends on why you’re using it

And how active you are

[thorn thorn]

I just dont see a point

personally

[marble talon]

I find people like the Pitt dude on r/a2c weird bc they’re on there nonstop insulting kids

On the other hand there are college students who pop on every now and then, answer questions, and leave

That seems fine

I think it ends up being more weird if you join post-senior year and post-applications

And you’re not in the industry

But if you had a connection while applying it makes more sense

[lethal quiver]

regarding the slate thing

the most reasonable conclusion is that committees have started meeting

and they made some decision today

[solemn pasture]

whats a2c doing for 1M ?

[marble talon]

I feel this is reasonable even without slate so yeah

[marble talon]

Uhh ngl idk

[lethal quiver]

i mean

[marble talon]

The absolute most I see happening is a sub banner change

[lethal quiver]

u never know

[marble talon]

1m was briefly brought up and someone brought up doing a Reddit talk but that’s not gonna do much atp

So it came down to banner

[shut dock]

you really rejoined the server to portal astrology in duke channel

[marble talon]

If someone would like to post a2c chan on Wednesday you are more than welcome to brand it as a 1M surprise

[shut dock]

🍾 will do

[marble talon]

Crosspost it in the server we gotta upvote it

[lethal quiver]

lol

[solemn pasture]

gotcha

[ebon salmon]

This is the most active this thread ever is

[lethal quiver]

does anyone have slate plus here?

@marble talon ?

[quiet kiln]

Bro what

[marble talon]

What

Is the point of this

[quiet kiln]

I think we need to calm down on this slate stuff

[lethal quiver]

it just dropped

a new subscription

[quiet kiln]

💀

[marble talon]

They probably saw they could capitalize on you

And your anxiety

[quiet kiln]

that’s smart

I should create a college portal astrology service

I would be making bank

[lethal quiver]

yeah

after i hit 500 requests/ms on their website

[wraith moth]

[unreal sorrel]

o wait i intended to respond to the message u were responding to

yeah i agree

[umbral tree]

Is anyone else' financial aid portal showing that their FAFSA and CSS haven't been submitted?

It's probably on me for not checking earlier, but I submitted them all the way back in January and they never showed up...

[tawny island]

😭😭

thank uu

[lethal quiver]

that wouldnt make sense anyways

[hollow fossil]

how..

withdraw buttons disappear all the time in portals

[lethal quiver]

maybe if u applied EDV to duke

[hollow fossil]

maybe but i’m not sure how these ppl are applying when they claim that the buttons disappear, i was just mentioning something that i thought u observed lmao

[pallid iron]

I still have the withdraw button

[hollow fossil]

yea i do too, i thought it was in a different spot and started to get confused lol

[solemn pasture]

no curse words in chat please (slate is now an expletive)

[quiet kiln]

slate you!

[sonic wasp]

its not about

that

portal astrology isnt allowed though

[plucky aurora]

looks like decisions are in the system

[thick bronze]

no because my slate still isn't updated

[plucky aurora]

checked my slate and my duke tab says "current decision" and says decided

[thick bronze]

not for me

[thick bronze]

yeah we were talking ab that yesterday

[plucky aurora]

oh well im not on here like that haha

[thick bronze]

😭

[pastel cipher]

how sure are we

that this is actually what that means

I feel like it probably means nothing cus too many people have it

[thick bronze]

if ur decision is decided that means they chose if ur in or not

[pastel cipher]

are we sure...?

why doesnt it show up in the rightmost "decided" column then?

[plucky aurora]

decided just mean a decision was made on ur app lmao

[thick bronze]

yeah

[plucky aurora]

because thats generally for when they release it publicly

[plucky aurora]

because it means too many ppl got a decision made hello

[wraith moth]

My slate doesn’t even show any of my unis 💀💀

[thick bronze]

u don't have a CEEB code fight

right*

[plucky aurora]

ur international

thats why

[thick bronze]

no

international

I'm* int

and it works for me

your school needs a CEEB code

[wraith moth]

I do

[thick bronze]

wtf

did u use the right email?

[wraith moth]

I put it in as well

[wraith moth]

Yes

[thick bronze]

hmm

[wraith moth]

Same email as common app

[thick bronze]

delete ur account

[wraith moth]

how to do that

[thick bronze]

nahi patha

[pastel cipher]

they alr decided this many in early march?

[plucky aurora]

decisions literally come out in roughly 2-3 weeks... so yes lmao

[pastel cipher]

its a bit more than 3

[opal rose]

i mean its duke so

[pastel cipher]

But aight

[opal rose]

prolly get rid of a lot quick

[plucky aurora]

mf

[uneven cargo]

they got like 50k applications so they are juicing up to read students talking about peeling bananas in their personal statement

fun fact: someone did that at stanford and got in

[hollow fossil]

this is the same as my time

[plucky aurora]

everyone has the same time

colleges update slack once daily at the same time

[hollow fossil]

ohh i never knew that,

[buoyant anvil]

Guys did anyone apply to Duke Kunshan when applying to Duke

[ionic basalt]

he’s speculating that ppl w decided got likely letters

and he’s def right no way it means that

def just means we have a decision

[plucky aurora]

oh yeah, no thats not what it means lmao

i promise u i did not get a likely

[pallid iron]

I don’t have slate 😭

but thank you!!!!

[thick bronze]

I love duke 🫶

@pallid iron congrats !!

@wraith moth @sharp shadow we need to reunite the duke thread

[wraith moth]

agreed

[tawny island]

Where do you find this and the slate?

[lethal quiver]

Not even true

[tawny island]

What is slate?

How can I find it?

[ebon salmon]

Website

Slate.org

[rancid crest]

can anyone just join slate?

even if ur school / counselor doesnt use it and you applied using commonapp?

[lethal quiver]

Yes

[rancid crest]

ight

thanks

[thick acorn]

How to join slate without CEEB code? (int student)

[lethal quiver]

try putting a random one

[sonic wasp]

I wonder if Duke has caught on to applicants using slate because they haven’t updated in 2 days now

[lethal quiver]

no lol

i think all ivies/duke/whatever update every monday

[sonic wasp]

oh I didn’t know that

some of my schools update every day

[plucky aurora]

dude yes it is 💀

[plucky aurora]

not every school updates daily

[plucky aurora]

but i also think the system was down, none of my colleges updated since monday

[solemn pasture]

source: trust me bro

[plucky aurora]

i mean u can log in lol

the last update ive had from any colleges on slate was monday

[solemn pasture]

ugh mine doesn't say this

[plucky aurora]

watch it be like everyone who got rejected got current decision since its easier to weed them out lol

[solemn pasture]

Need someone with a likely to check if theirs is decided lol

I'd assume it would be

This could all be bs though

bruh it says it was updated two days ago

Why still no decision

[ebon salmon]

I believe it’s this; if it’s even true

Sad tho bc I didn’t think I’d be an auto reject

I have good stuff

[tough hearth]

It’s almost like they can’t accept/reject everyone on the same day

Committees meet and review a certain number of files

And decide on those. More decisions will come later. You have nothing to worry about until Mar 30

[sonic wasp]

say it ain’t so

[solemn pasture]

Bro I bet all of you got in

Maybe they want to reject me at the last minute to get my hopes up and crash them

[sonic wasp]

they probably don’t even realize we’re seeing our status 💀

relax

[plucky aurora]

abcde be so fr. rtheir acceptance rate is 6% and my stats are crap

[plucky aurora]

real lmao

because the platform is generally meant for ur app and to communicate w ur counselors

[solemn pasture]

peppa pig = auto admit

oink oink

[plucky aurora]

FAIR

[fringe rose]

dude i want a duke likely so bad

i keep thinking that ill get one soon

but that's very def not the case

[uneven cargo]

When do Duke likelys even come out usually?

[sonic wasp]

some already came out

[ionic basalt]

This makes sense cuz 6 ppl from my county already got in

No way they’re accepting anymore from here

Maybe 1-2 max

Def not me tho

[ionic basalt]

Me with Cornell 😔

[sonic wasp]

county is such a weird metric lmao

theres no way they have any county quotas

ur fine

[ionic basalt]

ehh idk it’s a pretty well known county and there’s not a lot of high schools there’s 12

but yeah it’s fine if I don’t get in

we’ll see in like

3 weeks!

[uneven cargo]

What country if u don’t mind me asking?

[pastel cipher]

how the fuck

do you know how many kids from your county got in

bro

LMAO

[ionic basalt]

word spreads + Instagram pages

[ionic basalt]

in maryland

[pastel cipher]

what if they just

keep it to themselves

cus I can tell you with almost 100% certainty no one outside of my school in my county will know where I get in

[ebon salmon]

Interesting

That’s fairly uncommon

[pastel cipher]

to be fair

me in particular its cus my school is shit I doubt anyone even knows what duke is

[sharp shadow]

no one in my county is gonna know where i got in

[pastel cipher]

but like when my dad got into MIT he didnt really tell anyone at all

[sharp shadow]

we dont have ig pages or anything

[pastel cipher]

so there must be some like that

[pastel cipher]

Yeah same here

[sharp shadow]

i mean if i get in somewhere good u bet imma casually drop it wherever i can

[lethal quiver]

got a likely

[thick bronze]

us in duke 🤷‍♂️

[thick bronze]

fr? what u get

the black student alliance thing?

[lethal quiver]

im not black

[thick bronze]

oh duke has a diff likely then

what was it?

congrats!

[lethal quiver]

idk yet

[lethal quiver]

nah they do

[thick bronze]

then they didn't this year

[lethal quiver]

My friend's sister got one 6 days before release

[thick bronze]

what's the point tho

[lethal quiver]

idk

[thick bronze]

idk then any time this month

[lethal quiver]

usually a likely is for competitive applicants who a college thinks they will be competing for

thats why they usually go to diversity admits

but there are regular likelies too

[sharp shadow]

im not gettin one 🙏

[thick bronze]

I am getting one and I'm getting a fat booty latina (char 🙏🙏🙏)

[lethal quiver]

@thick bronze bro what are u on about

[thick bronze]

speaking it into existence 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[lethal quiver]

thats decided

its decided

find a college that isnt decided

like harvard

there wont be an open circle on decided

[sharp shadow]

lower your expectations

[quiet kiln]

What in the hell is goin on here

@thick bronze ur an Asian dude on A2C u ain’t getting any bitches

[fringe rose]

do we really think the decided means a likely 💀

[sharp shadow]

but kanye used to follow him on instagram

[fringe rose]

we prolly shouldn't read too much into it

bc tbh i feel like the longer your's is not decided, the stronger your prospects are for admission bc they're still considering you but idk but also slate is stupid and we should just wait until 3/30

[hollow ravine]

my harvard and brown ones are the only ones not completed

[quiet kiln]

Yeah

[lethal quiver]

obv decided != likely

[quiet kiln]

Why’d he get unfollowed?

[quiet kiln]

Yeah no

[sharp shadow]

kanye went on an unfollowing spree and shanye was a victim

[quiet kiln]

All it means is that they made a decision

[pseudo bear]

literally not one of my schools is decided

[lethal quiver]

click on them

[pseudo bear]

i did. they all say completed lol

[quiet kiln]

lol yeah idt it’s a good look having Kanye as a follower now

[pseudo bear]

even the ones i already got into😭

[lethal quiver]

show ss

[pseudo bear]

one sec

[lethal quiver]

oh wow

probs means ur borderline

[sharp shadow]

all of mine say that too

[fringe rose]

i don't think it means you're borderline...being on decided could equally mean a rejection

[quiet kiln]

I feel that I’m an auto rejection

Since my EA round didn’t go well

So I doubt I’m a strong applicant

Esp for a likely no way

[lethal quiver]

well obv

[sharp shadow]

met someone today and her instagram had upenn wharton 27 in her bio. i got rejected ed and i thought about it for the next 3 hours

[thorn thorn]

It just means they made a decision 😱

Almost like they decided

[solemn pasture]

happy for you man

[sharp shadow]

hes manifesting

[fringe rose]

!!!!

[quiet kiln]

No way

[fringe rose]

i do that that everytime i see a yale 27 or coke scholar

[thorn thorn]

Just don’t apply anywhere

Can’t get rejected

[quiet kiln]

lol I’m just like I got gapped

[lethal quiver]

if they decide on u early

i think it means it was very clear

[hollow ravine]

i may or may not block people who go to my ed.

[quiet kiln]

Yeah

[sharp shadow]

we’re in some leadership program together and we had to write down our college plans and i saw she wrote she got accepted ED to upenn and teared up fr

[quiet kiln]

Either clearly rejected or accepted

[lethal quiver]

yeah

[thorn thorn]

Weird I’m not decided then I’m obviously getting accepted 🙄

[fringe rose]

or they just got to review your app first! they're prolly working thru apps as we speak, so truly doesn't mean anything...ofc it could mean that too

[lethal quiver]

they arent working on anything rn

[pseudo bear]

there is a super low chance im borderline for every school i applied to cuz they all just say completed. im sure there is little to no correlation between slate and acceptance/rejection

[thorn thorn]

Well most schools don’t even update it frequently at all

[fringe rose]

ok maybe not RN

[thorn thorn]

Like

[sharp shadow]

rural fgli lgbt woman in engineering pull thru pls 🙏😭

[lethal quiver]

come on

[thorn thorn]

Duke is one of the only ones I see fr update it a lot

[fringe rose]

indian male in poli sci (NOT CS) pls pls pls bless me with a duke acceptance

[thorn thorn]

I have no idea what major I applied for

🏃‍♂️

[ebon salmon]

Might be good

We don’t know

[pseudo bear]

i applied for evolutionary anthropology. idek what that is ngl

sounded cool

[ebon salmon]

How did you even write the why us essay lmao

[pseudo bear]

i didnt talk about my major at all lmao. it was literally just duke as a community

[lethal quiver]

yeah that sbad

[pseudo bear]

rip lol

[thorn thorn]

Would you guys have submitted a SAT that’s RIGHT at the 25th percentile

[lethal quiver]

yeah

[hollow ravine]

yes

[ebon salmon]

Bro why 😭

[thorn thorn]

Ok cool

[lethal quiver]

100%

[ebon salmon]

The basketball is that good?

[thorn thorn]

Makes me feel not stupid

[lethal quiver]

25th percentile will pass

[pastel cipher]

yeah at 25th u submit

[pseudo bear]

i have no idea lmaoo i think i misinterpreted it a lil

[thorn thorn]

It’s crazy how many schools have 1490 as their 25th percentile

It’s a lot

[fringe rose]

did you guys all do two optional prompts

[lethal quiver]

yes

[thorn thorn]

I think so

Not sure

Every essay i wrote in December is blank in my head

[ebon salmon]

My why Duke essay was kinda fire ngl

Supps were fine

[fringe rose]

i remember i went thru 5 drafts of one of those essays and i wanted to cry so bad

i love my why duke

[solemn pasture]

its the way how two of my duke essays has one sentence thats the exact same that i forgot to change

[thorn thorn]

Put mine in grannarly and called it a day

[solemn pasture]

crying inside bc of it

[ebon salmon]

Mine was abt my experience with the fbi

[thorn thorn]

Rereading is not it

[solemn pasture]

dont reread

ur better off not noticing

[fringe rose]

DONT REREAD

[thorn thorn]

Type no thoughts just submit

[fringe rose]

i noticed that i called umich lsa as the college of literature, arts and sciences instead of literature, science, and the arts and i went ballistic for a month

[solemn pasture]

my cornell essay was banging though

[ebon salmon]

Did any of y’all apply to poli sci

[pastel cipher]

bruh

[fringe rose]

i emailed my ao trying to submit an updated essay and everything i was freaking out

[pastel cipher]

this is the kind of thing that doesnt matter at all

[thorn thorn]

I submitted my Cornell supp in February 💀

[fringe rose]

MEEEEEE

[solemn pasture]

doin too much

relax

[pseudo bear]

same 🙏

[ebon salmon]

HELL YEAH

PRAYING FOR US

[solemn pasture]

at least u didnt apply to pratt engineering and spoke ur heart out about trinity college like me

[fringe rose]

its the name of the literal college that i applied to and the prompt was literally revolving around the specific college so like i was freaking out...it worked out in th eend tho:)

[solemn pasture]

i swear i was so unserious doing my duke app

[pastel cipher]

Yeah I mean

[solemn pasture]

thank god for the college switch button in portal

[pastel cipher]

the AO is a real person

if you switch around two words in the name of the school

but you demonstrate that you are indeed interested in it

[fringe rose]

YES I LOVE DUKE POLI SCI TOO OMG

[pastel cipher]

and have done you research

they;d be stupid to hold it against you

[fringe rose]

yeah ik that now HAHA

[ebon salmon]

SAME BRO

and a little hint of Econ mixed in

[fringe rose]

ooooh i applied poli sci with ppe as my backup i think

[pseudo bear]

did anyone interview for duke? my guy was so nice it made me want to go so bad but the chances are so low 😢

[ebon salmon]

SAME

[proud gazelle]

oh shi

[fringe rose]

yup! mine was super nice too altho my zoom glitched

[solemn pasture]

nah, tbh my cope for that is that they saw my interview for the robertsons and decided nah

[pseudo bear]

lmao im sure it went great tho!

[pseudo bear]

haha i didnt even apply too much work

[sonic wasp]

i know it probably isnt true but i feel like im fucked because i didnt apply by the 12/20 deadline

like they think i got demonstrated disinterest

duke is my top choice though so pls let me in 🙏 😭

[lethal quiver]

i dont think they actually track DI

[sonic wasp]

nah they do

[atomic fiber]

Yo how does duke merit scholarship work

[lethal quiver]

why would duke track DI

[atomic fiber]

Idek if I qualified as app

[sonic wasp]

if u didnt get it by now, ur prob not getting one

[atomic fiber]

Thanks king

[sonic wasp]

why wouldnt they?

[lethal quiver]

they are t10

[atomic fiber]

Was there an app deadline

For scholarship

[pseudo bear]

nah ur prolly fine i feel like interviews are just to get the alumni involved. little to no bearing really

[sonic wasp]

i hope so lol

[lethal quiver]

@sonic wasp i think they count ED as DI

because it really is

[sonic wasp]

yeah for sure

[opal rose]

Me neither no interview so 😎

[ebon salmon]

I only did 1 optional supp but had interview

So well

[thick bronze]

[thick bronze]

they were so nice it was a great interview

[ionic basalt]

ME

I TAKE IT SO PERSONALLY

especially wharton

i think about it for the next two days

[undone nymph]

the worst is when underclassmen wear the merch of the college

[ionic basalt]

bc a lot of schools send them out mid March

[gilded tundra]

[opal rose]

I did 2 ig

[wraith moth]

[solemn pasture]

Yes

[fringe rose]

STOP IT'S TODAY HELLO???

PLS DUKE PLS DUKE PLS

[wraith moth]

What is today

[fringe rose]

likelies 😭

[wraith moth]

No I think only

Some diversity applicants

Got the BSFAI invite

Which is a likely

Idk about general likelies

[lethal quiver]

yeah its only diversity

so far

[fringe rose]

i thought someone earlier in the thread said merit likelies were today based on previous years

[lethal quiver]

diversity admits

yeah

someone said that

[ebon salmon]

Only for select groups tho

[lethal quiver]

nah i dont know if thats tur

[fringe rose]

ah okie gotcha

[lethal quiver]

i think its general

[ebon salmon]

BSA, Hispanic, LGBT, for example

[lethal quiver]

scholarships

LGBT doesnt count

what

[ebon salmon]

@lethal quiver

This was what I was going off of

[lethal quiver]

yeah

oh

wait

wow

i dont think they send likelies for LGBTQIA+

[sharp shadow]

lgbt first gen (but not low income) pls pull 🙏

[thick bronze]

char LGBT ???

in duke thread everyone is welcome 💪🏾💪🏾

[sharp shadow]

of course

[tough hearth]

Any scholly finalists announced?

[winter owl]

I dont think so?

[quiet kiln]

I got some email for Duke but it was for a Coursera course 😭

[winter owl]

lmao

[uneven cargo]

Same lmao

Duke playing with us 😪

[lethal quiver]

did these likelies come out

or no

[subtle knoll]

duke 🙏

[tough hearth]

What school is the D emoji from and why isn't is Duke

Also why the fuck is the W emoji Wesleyan, a school half of us can't go to, instead of Wisconsin

[uneven cargo]

Maybe cause e comes before I

Idk lmao

We… vs Wi…

Idk lol

[tough hearth]

Is the D for fucking Denison then? 💀

[uneven cargo]

Lmaooo

[tough hearth]

No way

It actually is

😭

[uneven cargo]

DAMMMMMN

[uneven cargo]

my conspiracy theory was right lmaooo

[tough hearth]

Wait why is the S stanford then

[uneven cargo]

Hmmmm

Yeah

[tough hearth]

Hmm mods please explain the awful emoji choices

[thick bronze]

me personally if I was mod I wouldn't let it hapoen

[marble talon]

Most of them were chosen for size purposes

If they couldn’t be sized right they were eliminated

[tough hearth]

So that's how we ended up with denison

[marble talon]

The exception is the Oregon O due to its historic value

It used to be the Ohio O

[nova night]

Duke's asking me IDOC lol

I am intl moreover

[thick acorn]

I was asked in February

yep

Where are u from?

+++

Yep

2/18/2023

If I am not mistaken, yes

[fluid cipher]

Duke asking nothing from me lol

[steady escarp]

Duke

[sonic wasp]

yes what

[nova night]

nothing

just doc stuff

what?

[thick bronze]

pull up @sharp shadow @wraith moth

[wraith moth]

yum

[winter owl]

Duke asked for my everything

[solemn pasture]

Did they ask to choose them 🫣 (likely letter) ?

[winter owl]

Lmaooo I wish

I'm hoping for that duke scholarship lol

[solemn pasture]

^^^^

It comes out with decisions?

[winter owl]

Also I applied in December and submitted all my financial forms also in december

But my checklist says march

[winter owl]

Semifinalists does

You gotta interview again

[ebon salmon]

Dammi Didnt do financial aid at all, but this seems crazy

Is this the normal amount of documents for kids?

[winter owl]

The date is off too

[solemn pasture]

When is that announced

[winter owl]

W/ decisions

[solemn pasture]

Ohh

[winter owl]

But like, as far as financials go, we're a pretty average family.

We don't own a house, my dad works consulting (hence the 1120S cause he works for himself), we don't have any assets other than retirement stuff

Its crazy that they want this much information

[solemn pasture]

Fr it seems intrusive don’t it

[winter owl]

Ye

[simple thicket]

Hey, sorry to be following up on a message from a week ago...what are the odds that I get rejected from Duke as a Robertson Scholar?

[solemn pasture]

I mean if you’re a scholar you would have to have gotten into Duke or UNC no?

[solemn whale]

I think all (semi?) finalists are guaranteed admission, no?

[brittle cairn]

duke <3

[dawn forge]

Yo

Slate shows duke made a decision for me

I think since its so early its a rejection

Thats tough

[dawn forge]

bro same

[trail oasis]

mine is still on "complete"

[carmine knoll]

Was slate proven to actually correlate to app success last year

[dawn forge]

donno im predicting if urs got updated it means ur rejected

because I accidently said I dislike liberal arts because I misunderstood a question for my duke interview

and 2 people on reddit said its decided for them too

and they only did 1 of the essays

or someshit

[carmine knoll]

Mine still says complete

Idk I don’t think it necessarily means anything but ig we will find out soon

[dawn forge]

thats good

[trail oasis]

yeah i dont think its correlated tbh

[dawn forge]

you have the same status as the guy who got into uchicago ea

tiny correlation truss

[carmine knoll]

Did you get into Harvard early

[dawn forge]

nah

[carmine knoll]

Ah just manifesting?

[dawn forge]

yessir

[carmine knoll]

Well good luck g you got it

[dawn forge]

thxs bro u2

[trail oasis]

4 of my statuses still say "in progress" so i have no idea about slate

im thinking its just random college-to-college stuff how they mark it

[dawn forge]

thats normal for vanderbilt and upenn

it says that for me too

[trail oasis]

ah i see

[dawn forge]

Its not normal for georgetown tho

my friend has georgetown as complete

[trail oasis]

interesting

the only colleges actually on "decided" for me were ones i did EA

the rest are just in complete

[wraith moth]

yall wilding with slate out here 😭
