Likely letters are usually targeted in some regard
subtle knoll
likelies are a minority of admits dw about them
4% is so low bruh
i think Duke is my lowest acc rate school
distant flume
What’s even the point of a likely like I don’t get it
subtle knoll
or brown idk
ebon salmon
Where did you see 4%?
ebon salmon
What’s even the point of a likely like I don’t get it
Get kids excited early, they visit and want to commit
ebon salmon
they published 4.6% acceptance rate for 2026 rd
YEESH
subtle knoll
its terrible
ed last year was 21%
that feels so nice
this year it was only 16 though
distant flume
Get kids excited early, they visit and want to commit
But what do they think they’ll get into other schools then?
subtle knoll
but 16 is 4 times bigger than 4 😭
ebon salmon
But what do they think they’ll get into other schools then?
Yeah
sonic wasp
nah it wont
subtle knoll
🙁
ebon salmon
It’s competitive applicants that fulfill a niche
delicate tree
but 16 is 4 times bigger than 4 😭
Athletes + legacy + faculty kids take up lot of space
ebon salmon
They want to stake their claim first
subtle knoll
Athletes + legacy + faculty kids take up lot of space
yeah ik just coping
ebon salmon
It’s also just kinda cute
sonic wasp
yes
subtle knoll
still a tiny rate
ebon salmon
Duke basketball just sucked it too yesterday
sonic wasp
obv its still extremely difficult
subtle knoll
duke doesnt get that many apps i think
ebon salmon
They take abt 2,500/50,000
subtle knoll
50k 💀
distant flume
Yea Duke is super well known
sonic wasp
They take abt 2,500/50,000
na its like 3k
ebon salmon
na its like 3k
True I’m not accounting for yield
sonic wasp
yeah
distant flume
Is Dukes yield good?
distant flume
Hm I wonder why it’s not higher tbh
sonic wasp
because between duke and ivies most people take ivies
ebon salmon
Hm I wonder why it’s not higher tbh
Duke competes with every other T10/20
distant flume
Omg a Game. Columbia or Duke choose
ebon salmon
Duke
opal rose
Omg a Game. Columbia or Duke choose
columbia prolly
opal rose
Duke competes with every other T10/20
ye if ur good enoughfor duke youll likely get others
opal rose
Not grade deflated like Columbia
dont matter if ur not doing grad school 
delicate tree
Premed
distant flume
So if your qualified for one of the t10 chances are higher you get into the others? Maybe shotgunning is worth
opal rose
So if your qualified for one of the t10 chances are higher you get into the othe...
i mean yes
its def possible to get into only one
cuz they all look for diff things
but grades and ec wise its about the same standard
then its down to essays, who u r, LoR, interviews which r the difference
seen many ppl who got like only 1 or 2 ivies
opal rose
but then there r ppl like richael who get into like all of em
distant flume
Good thing I basically copied and pasted my essays across the board😍
sonic wasp
hoping that 1 is duke
delicate tree
1 is all that’s needed
opal rose
Good thing I basically copied and pasted my essays across the board😍
not a great idea 😍
opal rose
1 is all that’s needed
frfr
ebon salmon
Good thing I basically copied and pasted my essays across the board😍
Bae why?
distant flume
Bae why?
Cause I already got into some top schools and if I used the same essays maybe they’ll like them too!
winter owl
Honestly slay
opal rose

which schools
and tbh each of the ivies/top schools got different essays asking for different things
like using ur cornell essay for lets say brown is not gon work
ebon salmon
Cause I already got into some top schools and if I used the same essays maybe th...
Also Oo which
But sometimes it’s easy to tell when it’s just copy and pasted
Unless you refined it a lot
opal rose
ye using similar ideas makes sense cuz not like ur a diff person for all
but using same essays
not ideal
ebon salmon
Preach
distant flume
which schools
Hopkins, Notre Dame.
opal rose
im 1-1-1 with usnews t20s
im 0-0-2 lol
opal rose
Hopkins, Notre Dame.
so wouldnt yk that after rd ?
sonic wasp
oh
opal rose
only got waitlisted uva
sonic wasp
the only schools that have really come out so far are like
opal rose
rejected colombia and ucla
sonic wasp
uf is solid
opal rose
uf is solid
leaning towards vt tbh
sonic wasp
in state im assuming?
distant flume
so wouldnt yk that after rd ?
Yea just hoping all the schools like basically the 5 original essays I wrote
opal rose
in state im assuming?
less expensice (in state), better for cs and fl politics go crazy
sonic wasp
makes sense
opal rose
Yea just hoping all the schools like basically the 5 original essays I wrote
fair enough i did 27 schools so def recycled ideas
sonic wasp
for the why school essays
i basically just copy pasted
everything else was mostly original
opal rose
for the why school essays
i did original hwy schools but used same formula
distant flume
Lived experience essay, major essay, why is essay, EC essay
sonic wasp
i did original hwy schools but used same formula
yeah thats what i mean
opal rose
yeah thats what i mean
ah ic ye
sonic wasp
i changed my values based on the school
opal rose
fair enough
sonic wasp
and changed the specific details
distant flume
Yup same! I can’t imagine starting from scratch for each one tbh
opal rose
altho my cornell one was maybe my best essay
sonic wasp
cornell went crazy for me
opal rose
most proud of cornell brown and wisconsin
opal rose
im not expecting anth from duke told my brother he can open the decision for me
opal rose
will they like them though
i mean mine were serviceable
opal rose
my nu was just my duke essay with some details switched and 50 extra words
lowkey we can trade in dms
distant flume
I would literally just switch the college name I was talking about
opal rose
I would literally just switch the college name I was talking about
thats insane 😭
sonic wasp

proud gazelle
I would literally just switch the college name I was talking about

And one more for “unique aspect of this college”
distant flume

SAME SAME SAME😭😭😭😭😭
I did one professor, two classes, two clubs. Just switched them out
subtle knoll
50% yield is not bad
maybe not if u compare to harvard or sum 😭 but its p normal in teh context of t10/t20s

ebon salmon
if im the only one from my school that got a duke interview, is that a good sign...
Interviews aren’t based on how good an applicant is
It’s when you applied and who was available
solemn pasture

at ALL
solemn pasture
duke isn’t dropping till april
opal rose
no point in stressing
delicate tree

subtle knoll

Just curious do they read in the order of submitted?
dim spade

delicate tree
I thought complete meant application complete
tough hearth
my school doesn't show up on slate what do i doooo
I’m homeschooled so I don’t have a CEEB code so I just picked my local high school
So you should just pick another nearby school
See if it works
maiden palm
yeah I made an account with a nearby school but it didn't work :/
doesn't show any of my apps
solemn pasture
I'm majoring in astrology
tough hearth
yeah I made an account with a nearby school but it didn't work :/
Mine only shows some. Which I have a theory that means some schools consider homeschoolers vs their local public school and others consider homeschoolers separately
tough hearth
Yeah but I’m missing some that other people have on slate
tough hearth
And they almost all use slate just looking at the portals
But not all share it with students on slate
subtle knoll
who wants to go to duke anyways 🥱
somber saffron
North Carolina is crazy
Factual
fleet citrus
can someone explain the complete vs decided thing im so confused
solemn pasture
can someone explain the complete vs decided thing im so confused
if ur complete it means u may or may not get in, if ur decided it means u may or may not get in.
😁
fleet citrus
perfect
tough hearth
It’s all bullshit because there are two ways to see it in slate too
If you look at the page that shows all your schools each one is in a column
Some in-progress, some complete, some decided
But if you click on schools under complete, you’ll see some say decided
So idek it seems worthless to me
fleet citrus
its portal astrology but on another website
night mason
if i dont get into Duke its bc my Slate was decided on 3/6
ok guys
no other reason at all

solemn pasture
my apps are done though

Decided means they came to a decision
If it pushes you back to in progress them it's probably an internal thing
Not that you haven't finished your app
But that they're doing something w/ it that's pushing it around

At the same time too

It's ivy day
not confirmed tho
and it was only on ivy day last year, it could be different this year

Duke always likes to release along w ivys
subtle knoll
it was on march 26th in 2020
