Duke (2022-2023)

[fathom river]

.

[mossy citrus]

i feel like interviews should be standard at like 45 mins or so

15 mins is wayyy too short

[fathom river]

bruh the woman was so weird

she barely even pushed duke too

she just said she liked going abroad

.

she said nothing abt duke

like going abroad is not even duke specific

[mossy citrus]

when did she graduate?

[fathom river]

a while ago

like

she looked like 50ish

40ish

[mossy citrus]

hmm
unlucky interviewer

i had someone in their 50s for my vassar one

they heavily pushed vassar

very cold (personality wise) but we had a nice convo

i swear she did not smile once

[dawn forge]

minimod

[lethal quiver]

did likelies go out

[winter owl]

Idts

Other than bsai

[ebon gale]

does Duke have likelies?

omg I didn't know this

when do we think they would come out

[pastel cipher]

this shit genuinely moronic

Like

why would u release likelies later than this

if they do

[stiff kraken]

Congrats on jhu, super exciting

[pastel cipher]

tyty brother

I didnt deserve to get in

but uh

I take what I can get I suppose

[stiff kraken]

If you got in then I’m sure you do!

[pastel cipher]

Bro

💀

The guilt is actually kicking in for taking someone else's spot already

[dawn forge]

its fine, I got in with a merit scholarship and you didnt

so you werent that good

[pastel cipher]

They actually allotted 1% of their endowment to my personal expenditure

and Ill be having a mansion to myself on the west side of campus

[dawn forge]

yeah well i got accepted with 2%

[carmine knoll]

💀

[fleet citrus]

JHU gave merit?

[pastel cipher]

I think he's capping

I don't actually know though

[carmine knoll]

I think they maybe have merit scholarships not sure though

[pastel cipher]

bruh they do exist

I think he's still capping though

💀

cus like 20 people get it

but im not sure

[fringe rose]

someone on reddit said merit scholarship finalists are out?

did anyone get an email?

[winter owl]

Uh no

Rip

Oh that was for bn duke!

Nvm I don't qualify for that :>

Also hopkins gives out merit scholarships! (I didn't get anything but I'm over the moon with bme). It's rlly tough tho

[fringe rose]

is anyone an angier b duke finalist?

[winter owl]

Idts

I think that comes out with letters right

[fringe rose]

wait does it?

[pine rose]

ik someone who got finalist and they got an email

[wicked hornet]

Yea same, i think it was university scholars of Duke

[winter owl]

Oh cool so those came out already ig

[solemn pasture]

I wonder what’s going on with the international scholarships

Like karsh

[tough hearth]

Someone on reddit claims to have received an email for Karsh

Seems like at least Univ Scholars and Karsh finalists were emailed today, if not more finalists from the other schols

[ebon salmon]

I got into unc and wake

Duke you’re next babe

[tough hearth]

Need NC State and Elon to complete the collection

[tough hearth]

Which one do you like more between wake and UNC?

I almost applied to wake but it seemed they were pretty stingy with scholarships

[ebon salmon]

Dude no idea

[ebon salmon]

SHOOT I SHOULD OF

[somber saffron]

If you think UNC is depressing, Wake Forest is yikes

[somber saffron]

Those are easy if you got into UNC

[ebon salmon]

Rly? Do go on

My friend loves it at wake but idk much

[tough hearth]

Unc isn't depressing though 🥹

Or at least I thought

[somber saffron]

Winston-Salem is the lamest place ever

I feel like I’ve told you about this before

It reminds me of mustard yellow

Just ugly

[somber saffron]

No it’s not, Riley thinks it is though 😳

[ebon salmon]

I do?

I don’t remember saying that LMAO

[somber saffron]

Weren’t you saying about how you couldn’t stand UNC bc it’s a state school?

[ebon salmon]

uh

No I think you misremembered that

I love UNC except for the fact that the people all seem kinda the same to me

Not as in the school is horrible or depressing

Just worried abt the people

Duke has a good mix it feels like

[pastel cipher]

That sounds great

Become one with the hivemind

[ebon salmon]

Ur so right

[somber saffron]

geographic diversity! that’s what it was.

[somber saffron]

Duke is gaudily pretentious, or so I hear (still my first pick though)

[somber saffron]

This definitely isn’t the case

Are all people from Chicago the same?

[tough hearth]

That's been the stereotype but it honestly seems the same as every other school in that regard

[somber saffron]

This is true, but to everyone in my family—they’re “country folks,” if you may—Duke is full of aristocrats, bourgeoise, and assholes.

[undone nymph]

IM AN AB DUKE FINALIST OH MY GOD

[sonic forge]

duke does show that lol, kids r like that

[ebon salmon]

Yupp

I feel the same abt any state school

Even Illinois @somber saffron the kids here are all honestly rly similar

Besides rural vs urban

[ebon salmon]

HELL YEAH

[somber saffron]

I’m willing to bet NC is more diverse

[ebon salmon]

It might be!

I know nothing abt NC state

[tough hearth]

Amazing! When did the email come?

[fleet citrus]

did AB come out?

[somber saffron]

There’s so much diversity in my high school alone

[undone nymph]

like 2:30 but it was in my promotions tab

so i only just saw it

[ebon salmon]

That’s great

I have preconceptions based off of mine I suppose

[tough hearth]

Damn so all the notifications came out today. That's huge though... There are only like 30-40 finalists

[somber saffron]

Illinois sounds boring af 😂

[tough hearth]

Literally is except chicago

[somber saffron]

I liked a girl who moved here from Illinois in fifth grade

She was out of my league and didn’t like me back so now I hate Illinois

[tough hearth]

😭

[somber saffron]

So out of my league

She went to the world gymnastic championships that year

[ebon salmon]

Valid

[ebon salmon]

I live in chicago suburbs (20 min away) so it’s not too bad

[somber saffron]

Gang warfare might be the most interesting thing about Illinois

[ebon salmon]

Baguette

Plz no

Everyone always has to bring up crime and I hate it 😭

[somber saffron]

It’s just infamous for it

But to be fair

If it makes you feel better

If you were from LA, NYU, etc., I would say the same exact thing

Do you guys have cornfields?

[ebon salmon]

People don’t rly bring up gang crimes abt those states

I’ve never seen a cornfield no

[somber saffron]

Oh huh, I do… I’m a pessimist in general

I do see how Chicago gets targeted with criticism though

Which is kinda dumb because crime is rampant in a lot of places

[ebon salmon]

It’s rooted in a lot of racism

[somber saffron]

Oh huh, that’s surprising.

[ebon salmon]

But this isn’t a Ted talk lmao

[somber saffron]

No yeah that’s totally fair. When I said it in the celebrations channel it caught me off guard but someone explained and I was like “ohhh… nah I’m just a pessimist.”

[ebon salmon]

Then why would you say it again 😭

But I get where you were coming from with that

But it’s fine

We will both be at duke soon

Away from Illinois

[somber saffron]

It’s a habit (wo)man 💀

Yes we will

And Durham is crime ridden too 😃

As is Raleigh

And LA

And NYC

[ebon salmon]

Rly?

[somber saffron]

There I’m no longer racist 😅

[ebon salmon]

I thought it was like chill surbubia

[pastel cipher]

Sorry but just mentioning crime rate in a city is not racist like are we just supposed to pretend it doesnt exist I dont get it

[ebon salmon]

for both Duran and Raleigh

[somber saffron]

LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING

[ebon salmon]

I can’t do a full scale explanation rn but I’ll try to find an article

[somber saffron]

@ebon salmon https://www.reddit.com/r/NCSU/comments/wuibwe/called_out/

Absolutely hilarious

Raleigh isn’t too bad but there are definitely bad areas and homeless people around the nicer areas.

[pastel cipher]

I struggle to think of a reason that discussing the crime rate of a city without any reference to race at all can be racist quite frankly

[ebon salmon]

@pastel cipher

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna660541

This is a good article

I didn’t mean to say that he was being racist Lmao

[somber saffron]

It’s the pattern that cities with higher POC populations get characterized as crime ridden more frequently. Not agreeing or disagreeing, just stating the view point.

[ebon salmon]

Just that people pinpointing chicago for gang violence is rooted in a big history of racism

Again I could be sounding rly dumb and I’m open to discussion

[ebon salmon]

This is insane tho

[somber saffron]

I can see that, but also pointing it out might help solve it because it’s such a huge problem.

[ebon salmon]

That’s true

[pastel cipher]

Sure but I dont think a single remark about Chicago's crime rate

compares to this

[ebon salmon]

I think the way we call it out matters w lot

[ebon salmon]

Again, I didn’t say French boi was being racist

[pastel cipher]

Sure sure

[pastel cipher]

Yeah but

[somber saffron]

Yeah no she’s fine @pastel cipher

[pastel cipher]

I mean

Ok

I wasnt trying to attack her for it

[novel forge]

when does duke come out

[pastel cipher]

I just feel like mentioning the fact that general discourse of Chicago crime is historically motivated by racism when it doesn't reflect the current conversation is counterproductive so thats what I was getting at

[pastel cipher]

ivy day

(march 30)

[tough hearth]

Chicago does have crime, particularly gang crime, and calling discussion of it inherently racist is not a way to solve it

[somber saffron]

I can see the crime having come from a history of racism. I can also see it being a huge problem in all cities. I can also see it being an issue for African Americans: they commit crimes at higher rates (we can argue over the reasons, but let’s not). I can also see that Chicago’s leadership is democratic and yet the effects of racism are still rampant. I can see all the argument. I agree with Trump’s analysis that Chicago is hell—it’s like seriously a war zone in certain areas, but the key is that that’s in certain areas, which exist almost everywhere. Who knows where I stand.

[ebon salmon]

I never said we shouldn’t talk abt it

Just that it’s the very first thing they said abt chicago (one of)

On a college thread

This would be a good Convo in other spaces Lmao

[tough hearth]

What do you want them to talk about? Lakeshore Dr 🤢

[somber saffron]

Yeah I gotta watch my mouth

[tough hearth]

Sears tower?

[ebon salmon]

I love lakeshore drive yes

[somber saffron]

That reflective thingy that kinda looks like a ball

[tough hearth]

Lakeshore drive is an abomination

[ebon salmon]

It’s pretty

[tough hearth]

Literally miles of beautiful lakefront

[ebon salmon]

THE BEAN

[tough hearth]

Taken up by an 8 lane road

It's a travesty

Lakeshore drive should be removed. Or do a big dig or something

[brittle cairn]

just don't go in the bad areas

[somber saffron]

@ebon salmon I know I’ve made my point but I thought it’d be good to add that if you mentioned Florida I would probably comment on it being full of fascists.

[brittle cairn]

bad chicago and good chicago are basically like two different cities lmao

[somber saffron]

Oh yeah, that

[brittle cairn]

literally just don't go south side

[somber saffron]

Yeah this applies to everywhere

[ebon salmon]

LMAO

[somber saffron]

Oh man have you guys seen Vacation? This guy drives through the South Side with his family after getting lost and he’s like “What’s up holmes?” to this guy on the street and they steal his hubcaps while he’s asking for directions. 💀

[subtle knoll]

what does complete mean

mines is decided on 3/6

[sonic wasp]

complete means not decided

[night mason]

can you tell anything from Slate updates/status ?

or not rlly ?

[sonic wasp]

i mean

kind of

[pastel cipher]

idk

from what ive heard if it says decided

u do really have a decision

[sonic wasp]

like this shows for mew

but its useless

it updated after decisions released officially

so

lol

[sonic wasp]

thats my only decision

[night mason]

this what mines like

[sonic wasp]

yes

so yuou have a decision

[night mason]

Okay

but is that decision more likely to a rejection/acceptance since it was decided earlier?

[opal rose]

I’m decided as well

[night mason]

or can u not rlly tell?

[sonic wasp]

no idea

i mean

if u got scholarship consdieration

[opal rose]

otherwise its a toss up

dont think ab it too much

we'll all know soon enough

[subtle knoll]

mines looks the same

3/6

[night mason]

herm

idk

[pastel cipher]

[sonic wasp]

i mean if u got hopkins

it cant be an instant rejection

[pastel cipher]

Yeah I got a t20 likely as well

irvine rejected me 5 hours later

[sonic wasp]

oof

[pastel cipher]

Guys, for international students applying to Duke. Is getting a notification about submitting IDOC a good sign ?

Anything IDOC related...

[winter owl]

Nope

[solemn pasture]

Thanks

[ebon salmon]

Just means you missed smth or they need another doc

[fringe rose]

wait so does it say "current decision" or "applicant" b/c mine says applicant and hasn't been updated since 3/06 as well (im not a scholarship finalist btw)

[subtle knoll]

me texas and it says decided 3/6

[fringe rose]

i don't know that slate means that much bc vandy hasn't updated since 3/06 either and i got in via mosaic + chancellor's so...

[carmine knoll]

Yeah slate is useless don’t overthink it

[rose onyx]

some schools update it actively more than others

[opal rose]

none of my schools except tufts hv updated since march 6th lmfao

[limber trellis]

[limber trellis]

[opal rose]

[limber trellis]

[limber trellis]

[naive meteor]

Does anyone know what time results will come out

[ebon salmon]

I feel like this is a good thing right

They’re still considering you

[naive meteor]

bro is that slate
that website is bs

harvard mba applicants used it and and then got rejected

https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna7149271

[limber trellis]

this was pretty different

they actively hacked into the portal

[opal rose]

lmfao

i mean idk if its an indication of anth but we'll see

[autumn canyon]

Looks like you just read headlines lmfao

Not even the same software or situation

[solemn whale]

least stuck-up business school

[dusty plaza]

[tough hearth]

Duke (always?) releases on Ivy day if it's in March, so the expectation is Mar 30th. Hasn't been confirmed though AFAIK

[tawny dagger]

How much do interviews matter for international students?

I couldn't apply by the interview deadline

[pastel cipher]

yk while someone is answering that, does it matter if I didnt apply by interview deadline (demonstrated disinterest?), im domestic

[dawn urchin]

Who all bombed their midterms

[patent flame]

idk

maybe it does matter

[patent flame]

they can help ur application

[icy matrix]

Do we have any speculation of Duke's decision date?

[pastel cipher]

march 30

ivy day

[patent flame]

i want the shanye title back

[sonic wasp]

duke slated finally updated

and im still on complete

gg

[opal rose]

same lol

and im decided

[ebon salmon]

Me too bae

[sonic wasp]

idk what to think of this

do they hate me

or do they like me

[opal rose]

i jus need one dub on ivy day

[ebon salmon]

To me complete means bubble or they just haven’t gotten to you yet

[opal rose]

i dont even care who

i love them all

PLEASE

[ebon salmon]

I have emory and NYU on complete still

[sonic wasp]

what if its like

[opal rose]

tbh i wonder what decided means

[ebon salmon]

So regardless of what it means, I’ll have a dub in either regard

[sonic wasp]

they dont know what to do with you

[opal rose]

waitlist?

[sonic wasp]

like you keep gettingp ushed back into further committee rounds

because theyre confused

[opal rose]

tbh i kinda wanna ask someone w a likely what it says for them

[sonic wasp]

it says decided

[ebon salmon]

@pallid iron

Come here girl

[opal rose]

i got decided weeks ago

so like

i prolly got yeeted

[sonic wasp]

wdym

not today?

[ebon salmon]

Same and I don’t feel like I’m an autoreject

[opal rose]

cuz im black and aint get a likely

[ebon salmon]

I got mine like 2 weeks ago

[opal rose]

ye like 3/6 or so

it switched to decided

[ebon salmon]

Probs was the first committee

I presume that some decided kids are accept

And some are reject

[opal rose]

tbh

[ebon salmon]

They’re just the kids that they don’t need to deliberate further

[opal rose]

my sat is barely good enough for them

lookin at cds i was like ye im screwed

almost didnt apply but duke has been my fav school since forever so was like fuck it y not

[ebon salmon]

Is a 34 good enough?

[sonic wasp]

watch u say

1500

[sonic wasp]

yes

[opal rose]

1500 ye

[fluid cipher]

Chill guys Slate is not a way to find out Acceptance/Rejection

[sonic wasp]

how is that barely good enough

[fluid cipher]

Me with 1480(680+800)

💀

[opal rose]

this is y

theyre insane bro

[ebon salmon]

Weird bc 34 is average but 1500 is below average

[opal rose]

im also cs so

[ebon salmon]

Better for me ig

[fluid cipher]

Same lol

[opal rose]

i think more ppl do sat on east

[ebon salmon]

😁

[opal rose]

fair enough

[sonic wasp]

800 math?

[opal rose]

well if i get in needless to say imma backflip

[opal rose]

770

: (

i choked im so mad

[sonic wasp]

maybe they evaluate engineering early?

[opal rose]

couldve gotten 790/800 for sure

[subtle knoll]

its ok test scores arent everything

they are pretty small in context

[sonic wasp]

or location based

[opal rose]

i think i did arts and sciences cuz i wanna minor in creative writing

[opal rose]

ye tru

ive been getting fucked so like ive been humbled personally

on 9 Ls

[pallid iron]

whats up?

[ebon salmon]

Have you used slate queen

We were wondering if it said decided or complete for you

[pallid iron]

nah

[ebon salmon]

Gotcha no worries

[sonic wasp]

ok wait so did anyones change from complete to decided today

nvm i see

[thorn thorn]

Mine did not

[unreal dock]

Mine is still on complete

[fringe rose]

my duke slate updated this morning too and im still on complete lmao

not sure what that means

but i think sunny got a likely and her's was still on complete too

[subtle knoll]

mines has been decided since the 6th

it feels sm like an early reject

i dont think the decided times mean anything i got into UNC in like december and it says updated on 3/19 😭

my duke swapped from 6th to 19th asw

[limber trellis]

us

[opal rose]

fr

[winter owl]

Mine is still completed

[subtle knoll]

all the crazy people are at completed

like the likely person

[distant flume]

I think once your past a certain score it’s fine tbh

[winter owl]

I'm not crazy lol

Could be that they're going sequentially

Of some sort

[subtle knoll]

weren't u the person who got jhu bme

that is insanee

[ebon salmon]

Did you submit for the priority deadline or after

[winter owl]

Uhh I submitted for the priority

[ebon salmon]

Ugh same here

Crap maybe I was rejected then

[distant flume]

Where do you guys see completed?

Mine says applicant😭

[winter owl]

So when you log on to slate

Oh lord

[subtle knoll]

i submitted after

[ebon salmon]

Click on the school

[subtle knoll]

i didnt even know there was a priority deadline

aka no interview aka im fucked

[distant flume]

Oh yea nvm mine says complete too. I submitted after priority no interview :/

[subtle knoll]

decided feels so wrong

welp

[delicate tree]

If I’m on compete they’ll probably read an update if I send it right?

[ebon salmon]

I had an interview and mine still says decided

[winter owl]

I dont think anyone knows the answer to that

We can't say for certain

[ebon salmon]

The interview was hella good too

true

[subtle knoll]

😭

[distant flume]

Would they rly decide so early

[subtle knoll]

its just with a likely having complete

its weird

i dont remember uploading a transcript, are these from schools

[distant flume]

They send likelys? Isn’t it just the black alliance email??

[winter owl]

@distant flume idts. Duke is one of those schools that changes things until the last minute

@distant flume thats a likely!

[subtle knoll]

that person also got scholar/finalist

not just likely

for one of the schoalrships so

[winter owl]

Yeah are all the scholy notifications done then

[distant flume]

Ahhh I see. That’s so cool tho that they fly them in to check out Duke if you get that likely

[winter owl]

Like.. no hope for ab duke then I suppose

[subtle knoll]

atp no hope for Duke

4% acceptance rate

[distant flume]

I think likelys are still possible from ivys no?

[subtle knoll]

nah everythings basically done

[distant flume]

But like what’s a weak more to wait at this point lol

[subtle knoll]

i wish i ed'd duke

i like duke

[delicate tree]

Lol you only get likelies if your hooked or absurdly cracked

[winter owl]

Would that have worked out for you financially?

[ebon salmon]

Me too

[subtle knoll]

it might've

[delicate tree]

My school gets at least 5 HYPSM yearly and no one’s gotten a likely in years
