[solemn pasture]

ivy day is 30 and Duke always ivy day

[tough hearth]

Not always

Was March 31 last year, same as Ivy day. But in 2021, Ivy day was April 6 and Duke was April 5

[solemn pasture]

what if we remove 2021 from the dataset cuz it was COVID year

[tough hearth]

In 2020, it was March 26, same as Ivies

That’s all the dates I have though

Ivy day does seem most likely to me though

[solemn pasture]

Yeah u don't see that?

[opal rose]

ggwp

[solemn pasture]

we up!

[delicate tree]

Completed

Not decided

[opal rose]

ah well gg

o well

[fringe rose]

it says "applicant" not "current decision" (completed, not decided)

[solemn pasture]

Completed 😫

Completed vs decided who will win

[exotic hedge]

[fringe rose]

didn't the peeps with likelies have it on completed 😭

[exotic hedge]

[solemn pasture]

Guess we on to the next now 😔

[exotic hedge]

like when the likelies went out

time frame

[ripe totem]

Yes man

Wdym

I don’t see

Where’s slate

Oh what is that

Oh what tf

Really

Is it too lye to register

How do they know it’s me

[ebon salmon]

Ok guys

5% of people get accepted right

[ripe totem]

Really

[ebon salmon]

More than 5% have it on completed

More than 5% have it on decided

I don’t think it means anything

[ripe totem]

How do I find my ceeb

[delicate tree]

Nah ppl with liklies are also on completed

[ebon salmon]

There’s no way completed just means accepted

That’s way too many kids

[delicate tree]

Maybe it means not rejected

[ripe totem]

Found it

[ebon salmon]

I don’t think Duke accepts or even waitlists that many people

[delicate tree]

As in they have no decision yet

Like they’re still deliberating

[ebon salmon]

Portal astrology is like never right

[distant flume]

Also on completed

[delicate tree]

Cuz committee is still happening

[ebon salmon]

They’re not still deliberating on 90% of people

[delicate tree]

Most ppl at my school are on decided fyi

This is a small subset

[ebon salmon]

You asked people at ur school?

Bro

[opal rose]

😭

[delicate tree]

Bruh I go to a sweaty ass school

[opal rose]

ion even kno if anyone at school applied

[ebon salmon]

That’s Lowkey even sadder than getting rejected

[ripe totem]

Hmm

[delicate tree]

This is all ppl talk abt

[opal rose]

fair enough ig

[ebon salmon]

well that means I’m either getting into emory/nyu or duke

[undone nymph]

why is it the duke thread specifically going crazy w slate 😭😭

[ebon salmon]

Complete for first two decided for duke

[distant flume]

Nah I’ve seen washu too the other day

[opal rose]

well tbf hella ppl on decided hella on completed

its a fair enough reason for concern

[fluid cipher]

Please forget Slate it means nothing

[distant flume]

And Dartmouth is the one going crazy crazy with portal astrology fr

[fluid cipher]

And no astrology too!!

[delicate tree]

Dartmouth is wild

[ripe totem]

Duke says complete WTF

[opal rose]

wut was washu's

[ebon salmon]

Until anyone can provide actual evidence, there’s no point to believe in it

[ripe totem]

Oml kms

[opal rose]

wisconsin was insane earlier

straight astrology

[distant flume]

They brought everyone from completed to in progress

[ebon salmon]

We will know in less than two weeks guys

[opal rose]

o lol ye

[ripe totem]

Duke says mine is compete

[fluid cipher]

Yeah just chill

[opal rose]

9 days tbh

like its close af

juh vibe yall

[ripe totem]

UPenn says in progress

Hmm

[fluid cipher]

🛑

[delicate tree]

Penn don’t update shit

[opal rose]

im sure if ur aiming for an ivy youll b aiit

school wise

[distant flume]

Does this server/sub die after decisions or does it just start up for the next yeat

[opal rose]

id assume it dies for some time

some stay to help next gen

[ebon salmon]

There’s 238 of us here

[delicate tree]

Starts back up summer time

[ebon salmon]

About 25 should get in

[opal rose]

most hv no use for it

[opal rose]

real

[ebon salmon]

There’s way more than 25 on complete

Ie I reject the hypothesis

[opal rose]

if i had to use my luck on one ivy acceptance i pick Brown

i jus need one on ivy day

all i ask

(big ask)

[ebon salmon]

I’m asking for cornell and emory

[opal rose]

didnt do emory but great school ofc

[undone nymph]

emory’s great

[distant flume]

I figure that it also stays alive a bit cause of waitlists and stuff no

[ebon salmon]

Waitlists at duke are soft rejections

Not many people r rejecting duke if they get in

[distant flume]

Doesn’t Duke have low yield tho or was i misinformed

[delicate tree]

Bruh they have like a 50% yield rate

[undone nymph]

yeah it’s p low

[delicate tree]

Tons of ppl are rejecting Duke

[ebon salmon]

50% is p high considering that people reject duke just for other top schools

[distant flume]

I wonder why dukes yield is low tho I feel like it’s super popular cause of basketball

[delicate tree]

Cross admits almost always go to HYPSM

[ebon salmon]

Correct

HYPSM usually have yield between 70-80

[delicate tree]

hard to win them over unless scholarships were more common

[ebon salmon]

I’d take duke over cornell honestly

I didn’t apply to HYPSM tho

[distant flume]

Is Duke even good at anything in particular in terms of program rankings

[delicate tree]

Finance

Premed

[plain ravine]

Bio eng finance

[delicate tree]

Everything

Program ranking mean nothing

[ebon salmon]

Nah duke is top 10 bc they suck

[plain ravine]

Replace duke with university’s

[undone nymph]

yeah idk tbh i’ve even thinking recently abt duke ab vs hypsm (if i get in rd) and i honestly dk which i’d choose

[solemn pasture]

Duke is better than half of da ivies

[delicate tree]

Agreed

[ebon salmon]

@undone nymph did you get in through BSAI?

If so, I believe they cater to you

[undone nymph]

no ab scholarship

finalist

[ebon salmon]

Ahh gotcha

[delicate tree]

lol no

[distant flume]

What about blasians

Replied wrong message

[delicate tree]

I actually don’t know

Maybe?

[ebon salmon]

Probably

[distant flume]

I still wonder tho do you have to be fully black for bsai?

[ebon salmon]

Google it lol

[ripe totem]

I should’ve listed my legacy status

[ebon salmon]

You…didn’t?

[ripe totem]

No

[distant flume]

What would I even google lmao

[ebon salmon]

Why not?

[ripe totem]

Didn’t realize the point

And also it’s more fair anyways.

[delicate tree]

Yea

[ripe totem]

They should know if they check

[ebon salmon]

U gotta use every advantage you have man

[ripe totem]

I think everyone should deserve the same admission process regardless of - oh right sorry

This is a banned topic

[bold knoll]

Am I good if I only did one of the optional essays

[distant flume]

It’s to competitive to not milk what you got

[bold knoll]

I genuinely had nothing to write for the others

[ripe totem]

Well if I’m good enough Duke will accept

[ebon salmon]

I meant you’re okay to have that opinion

[ripe totem]

If I’m not then my ability is lacking

That’s all there is

[ebon salmon]

You’re the only one hurting urself lmao

i don’t think it’s an ability question

Many kids are qualified these days; more than they can admit

But it’s too late anyways

[ebon salmon]

I think so

[ripe totem]

Yea mine says compete

[distant flume]

I wish more AOs did AMAs on reddit

[ebon salmon]

U gotta click on duke

Yeah lmao

[ripe totem]

Wdym

Yea it’s done

For them

[ebon salmon]

Yeah you’re decided then

Again, no proof that it means anything

[ripe totem]

Yup

[gilded tundra]

this is mine

[ebon salmon]

@dim spade yo can I ask if u had an interview

[ripe totem]

Neither

You?

[ebon salmon]

Ahh gotcha

I had one yeah

[undone nymph]

idt the complete/decided difference is honestly meaningful tbh

[ripe totem]

How about @undone nymph

[ripe totem]

Yea

[solemn pasture]

That's true

[ebon salmon]

Squishy how many essays did u do

He’s in Columbia

[ebon salmon]

We have no way to know EITHER way

[dusky swift]

[ripe totem]

Ye

[distant flume]

Yea tbh

[ebon salmon]

Plenty of cracked completed people here too

[solemn pasture]

36

[ripe totem]

Did you do Columbia

[dusky swift]

cs?

[ripe totem]

Damn lit

[distant flume]

Yup

[gilded tundra]

duke gimme some signs fr

[solemn pasture]

I don't think completed vs decided matters

[dusky swift]

that is crazy

asf

[solemn pasture]

lmao

[dusky swift]

isnt that in fu

or do they have 2

[distant flume]

Cs+math college not fu

[dusky swift]

ah

still crazy lol

[distant flume]

But like Columbia doesn’t admit by major so not sure if it’s rly harder than like getting in as an Polisci major

[dusky swift]

idk

but

getting a likely is <1% of applicants

i wonder how much harder fu foundation is

[ripe totem]

Did you get any

[solemn pasture]

nothing is as hard as Tulane Rd with no demonstrated interest

[dusky swift]

no lol

[ripe totem]

Neither

[dusky swift]

wait

i got one from emory

if that counts

[ripe totem]

Oh what

Can I see what it looks like

[undone nymph]

emory scholars?

[dusky swift]

it was like an email i got

from the music department lol

[ebon salmon]

And decided Is good again

[dusky swift]

it was kind of weird

[ebon salmon]

I want emory so bad

[ripe totem]

Oh music I see

[dusky swift]

im doing bme

and submitted music supps to all the schools that allowed for it

so emory said they did a prelim review of my app and said that the music department wants supps

and that they have a huge sway in admissions so if mine r good im in

[ripe totem]

NYu says I’m complete

[dusky swift]

and mine were good lol

[ripe totem]

And I got waitlisted

But it doesn’t mean anything

UCSD I got in and it says complete lol

[undone nymph]

i think the slate talk will just build up anxiety without resolution tbh

[gilded tundra]

it depends per school tbh. i have like "no progress" on two schools and i got in.

[dusky swift]

it was like this lol

[solemn pasture]

Facts

[dawn forge]

Why would you guys only do 1 essay

[ripe totem]

Oh what

[solemn pasture]

I will choose to believe that I got in.

Even if I didn't.

[ripe totem]

Is Harvard bs

[solemn pasture]

In my heart, I am a blue devil.

[undone nymph]

so true

https://tenor.com/view/duke-blue-devils-gif-12834811

[ripe totem]

I just want one with no parties

[undone nymph]

i wish i applied to oxford

[solemn pasture]

Do you guys think it's too late for me to become a basketball legend and be recruited into Duke.

[ebon salmon]

Which Oxford

[ripe totem]

Yea lol

[undone nymph]

its never too late start hooping

[ripe totem]

I agree

[dusky swift]

i did lol

[undone nymph]

one in england

[solemn pasture]

I am a hooper

[dusky swift]

oh

[ebon salmon]

Also duke is NOT ur school then lmao

[timid hawk]

Sounds like cal to me

[solemn pasture]

But I have a ways to go

[dusky swift]

i applied to the emory one LOL

it was free so why not

[ebon salmon]

Me too!!!

[undone nymph]

yeah tbh that lowkey worries me too cuz im not rly a party animal

[ripe totem]

Just gonna take advantage of libraries student resources employment opportunities and network with the right people

[ebon salmon]

Winton, why did u apply to duke then lmao

[ripe totem]

And go for top grades that’s all

[undone nymph]

i mean i can appreciate athletics for the school spirit gathering

[ripe totem]

Fuqua is not bad

[undone nymph]

but if all social life is focused on athletics id be a bit nervous

[ripe totem]

I hope university is extremely competitive

[ebon salmon]

I think there’s a diff between enjoying them vs seeking them out vs despising a very big part of campus

[undone nymph]

yeah tru e

[ripe totem]

That’s true yea

[solemn pasture]

Devote your life to the balls.

[undone nymph]

i read that theres a very intense social hierarchy at duke which is scary

[ripe totem]

What does that mean

Social?

[solemn pasture]

ngl I got that vibe too

[undone nymph]

like athletes at the top

frats

etc

[ripe totem]

Hierarchies as in like GPA

[solemn pasture]

like peasants and monarchs

[ripe totem]

Oh

[undone nymph]

if ur not part of it

[ripe totem]

LOl

[undone nymph]

then ur excluded

[solemn pasture]

Dog what gpa 😭😭😭

[ripe totem]

Wdym gotta get valedictorian

[undone nymph]

bro no one is ranking their friends off gpa haha

[solemn pasture]

😭😭😭

Average bay area kiddo

[ebon salmon]

Yeah there is

[ripe totem]

What’s the point of networking with basketball players - people who’s gonna become athletics

?????

Waste of time

[undone nymph]

i mean i dont hang out w ppl just to network

[solemn pasture]

clout

[ebon salmon]

Bc not every relationship has to be transactional

[undone nymph]

😭

[solemn pasture]

Facts

That too

[ebon salmon]

And they can be recruited and make moneyyyyy anyways

[ripe totem]

Opportunity cost man cmon

Econ right here

[solemn pasture]

Dw Meowth lovers are at the bottom of the social hierarchy

[ripe totem]

Meowth?

[ebon salmon]

Have a hot basketball boyfriend who I can study and hang out with versus no friends and studying alone

Hard choice

[undone nymph]

no meowth lovers become president

[ripe totem]

Get a solid study group haha

[solemn pasture]

President of the loser association 😭😭

[ripe totem]

Gather the top students

[ebon salmon]

I can’t rn

[ripe totem]

Hierarchies should be based on merit

Nothing like clout or basketball

[solemn pasture]

😭😭😭

[ripe totem]

Like what my lord

[undone nymph]

i heard that the ab scholars hang out w each other a lot

[solemn pasture]

bro is an Asian mom

[undone nymph]

i mean being good at basketball IS talent tho

[ebon salmon]

Bro is gonna be in for a treat in America

[undone nymph]

like those guys r prob better at basketball then we are at a lot of stuff

[ripe totem]

Sure if it makes you money

[solemn pasture]

Oh are you intl makes sense

[ebon salmon]

And it’s a whole other kind of intelligence

[ripe totem]

But that’s just like the top 0.1% of the population

That’s athletic

[ebon salmon]

I’m guessing india too based off of this lmao

[solemn pasture]

Facts

[undone nymph]

hey man if u cant hoop just say that

[ripe totem]

I’m not from India sorry

[solemn pasture]

Oh damn

[ripe totem]

Hoop

[solemn pasture]

I can hoop

I'm a bucket

And a problem

[ripe totem]

As in shoot basketballs into rings

[ebon salmon]

I have a solid 3 point shot tbh

[solemn pasture]

Sharp shooter

[undone nymph]

no but i think discounting atheltes is disrespectful they do put in a lot of work

[ebon salmon]

But I’m short

[undone nymph]

like ik a d1 athlete and she is constantly practicing and getting better

[ripe totem]

Yea physical work

For sure

[ebon salmon]

And mental

[ripe totem]

Not discrediting

Mental hm

[solemn pasture]

there's mental work in that too buddy

[ripe totem]

Sure resilience

[solemn pasture]

Especially athletes at Duke

They are probably smart too

[ripe totem]

D2?

Didn’t they fall

[ebon salmon]

knowing all the plays, thinking ahead, knowing how to defend and attack, etc

duke fell to a higher ranked team

Wasn’t a shocker

[ripe totem]

Ah so muscle memory

So they’re d2 now

[solemn pasture]

Athletes have to balance school as well as strenuous physical work

[ripe totem]

That’s a shocker

[ebon salmon]

No they aren’t???

[undone nymph]

no thats strategy

[ebon salmon]

What

[solemn pasture]

What 😭

[ripe totem]

are they D1?

[undone nymph]

like the game changes each time and u have to adapt

[solemn pasture]

They just lost in march madness

That doesn't mean they get demoted

[ebon salmon]

Yes? They always are

[ripe totem]

Ah

I think JHU is quite nice

[solemn pasture]

idek with the exclamation point on lock

[ebon salmon]

I’m just stunned rn

[solemn pasture]

Did u get in

sunny that's not your flow

[ripe totem]

Almost done lunch

So how many hours are you guys studying a day

[solemn pasture]

26

[ripe totem]

Very humorous

[ebon salmon]

These are the most outta pocket questions

[undone nymph]

87

[solemn pasture]

Winton gonna have quite the cultural shock

[ripe totem]

It’s the job of a student to study right

[solemn pasture]

😭😭😭

[undone nymph]

ermm

[ripe totem]

Gonna go back to study after I’m done my lunch

[undone nymph]

i mean i think generally ec's are probably more important

[ebon salmon]

What stuff r u studying rn

[ripe totem]

Oh geography atm

Mock exam is tomorrow

[ebon salmon]

Blah boring

Duke is in north Carolina

[ripe totem]

Yea it can be

[ebon salmon]

That’s all u gotta know

[ripe totem]

No idea where that is

Sorry I don’t study American geography

Our geography course is based heavily in economics

[ebon salmon]

You don’t know where the schools that you applied to are located?

That’s cool Econ is fun

[solemn pasture]

Quant

[ripe totem]

I thought that Duke was around NY?

[solemn pasture]

☠️

[ebon salmon]

No

Not even close

[undone nymph]

no its in teh south

[solemn pasture]

It's in Cali

[ripe totem]

California ah

[solemn pasture]

Yeah

Right next to the border

[ebon salmon]

They’re about 8 hours away

NY and NC

[ripe totem]

I see

[undone nymph]

tbh winton and i say this w no judgement

if u rly dislike sports and parties

why duke

[solemn pasture]

I mean I hate parties but love sports and still wanna go to Duke

[ripe totem]

I didn’t know they party a lot

[solemn pasture]

I just don't plan on touching alc

[dusky swift]

true

[ebon salmon]

@ripe totem here

[ripe totem]

Ah yes

[ripe totem]

Why don’t you apply to uchi

[ebon salmon]

But seriously it seems like ur in for a BIG culture shock wherever you go

You should research the colleges a bit more once u get in

[solemn pasture]

Winton u should've applied to Caltech

[ebon salmon]

Uchi is too quirky to me

Cal tech and MIT

[ripe totem]

I see

[ripe totem]

Not that stupid to get rejected

[undone nymph]

no mit parties

[ripe totem]

230 class size

[ebon salmon]

True

@ripe totem drop the list homeboy

[ripe totem]

My school caps at 10

No more than 10 unis

If it’s just Usa I got Cornell Duke Columbia Northwestern stern ucb ucla ucsd uci ucsb

[solemn pasture]

Duke has been growing on me this rejection will hurt

[ebon salmon]

No backups?

[ripe totem]

I feel like I forgot something

I think I forgot a U.S. uni I applied to

[solemn pasture]

But since I got into UNC I will slander duke for the rest of my life 😈

[ebon salmon]

Besides cornell, those are all party or party adjacent schools

[solemn pasture]

Winton what have you got into so far

[solemn pasture]

good work .

[ripe totem]

Oh yea UPenn

Almost forgot

We’re capped at 10 unis (aka 10 systems)

UC is 1 system

[solemn pasture]

I loved Penn essays

[ripe totem]

As well as Canadian and HK unis

[ebon salmon]

Ah

[ripe totem]

Nothing

[ebon salmon]

Hong Kong kid

[ripe totem]

Except for the UCs

[ebon salmon]

Still applies

[distant flume]

Thank you letter fav essay!

[ripe totem]

Not from HK

[ebon salmon]

Bro what 😭

[undone nymph]

r u from the uk?

[solemn pasture]

omg yes I loved it

[ripe totem]

I’m in China wdym

[ebon salmon]

Ur school just lets u apply to three diff countries?

[undone nymph]

oh...

[ebon salmon]

OHHHH

Yeesh

[undone nymph]

that makes a lot of sense now

[distant flume]

It’s so cute if I get in I’m gonna show my teacher 😭

[ripe totem]

Of course

I could’ve done 5 for all they care

[solemn pasture]

I read mine to my grandma and she cried it was bittersweet

[ebon salmon]

I wanna make a political statement based on new knowledge but I’ll abstain lmao

[undone nymph]

i wanna hear

[solemn pasture]

[ebon salmon]

Fine but I’m deleting

[solemn pasture]

Share.

[ripe totem]

You mean xi in Russia

Right

Our students know

Do not care though

No time for nonsense

[solemn pasture]

😹

[ripe totem]

Which one

[solemn pasture]

did u have to do the gaokao winton

[ebon salmon]

Hong Kong

[ripe totem]

It’s always been part of China until British took it

We have history classes

The agreement was like

Until 2047

[ripe totem]

No I do IB

Set to expire in 2047, the current arrangement has permitted Hong Kong to function as its own entity under the name "Hong Kong, China" in many international settings (e.g. the WTO and the Olympics). The Chinese renminbi is not legal tender in Hong Kong.

[ebon salmon]

“Permitted”

[ripe totem]

If you do history

[ebon salmon]

Whilst curtailing on dozens of rights and liberties

[ripe totem]

The opium war

[ebon salmon]

I’m not getting into this at 1AM lmao

[ripe totem]

That’s when Hong Kong was ceded to the UK for a period of time

[ebon salmon]

Sorry if that pissed you off it was just a one off remark

[ripe totem]

With an agreement that it’ll reunite with China later in 2047

No I’m not

It’s just that people are ignorant at times and tell me that HK was always a country

[ebon salmon]

Yeah Ik it wasn’t

[ripe totem]

When I’m reality it’s always been part of China until the opium war, and then it became an SAR after British rule

[ebon salmon]

But still cutting down on civil liberties isn’t cute

[ripe totem]

And it’s set for expiration in 2047

[ebon salmon]

And banishing and killing dissenters

[ripe totem]

I don’t think anyone died

But I know what you mean by banishing

It’s like the news amplified it’s gravity

[solemn pasture]

idk I couldn't follow cuz I'm uneducated

[patent flame]

[jagged sail]

[drifting elk]

Wait duke likelies today?

[lethal quiver]

my friend's sister got one a week before release

[drifting elk]

i havent heard of anyone getting em yet

so maybe

[pastel cipher]

I mean

tons of BSAI likelies

are out

[lethal quiver]

I dont even know if thats a likeluy

[drifting elk]

other than that

i saw those yes

😭

[fringe rose]

are there normal duke likelies? other than scholly finalists and bsai?

[lethal quiver]

no one knows

[delicate tree]

Athletes most likely

[subtle knoll]

fuck duke

4% acc rate

ill reject u first

[subtle knoll]

i dont think so

the only thing outside of bsai, athlete, and scholarships is the FOCUS program

the last one I haven't seen at all this year

I think Duke useed to send out more normal likelies and arent anymore

[ebon salmon]

Most schools don’t send out normal ones anymore

[subtle knoll]

like found this reddit, the FOCUS likelies 3 yeras ago, but I couldn't find anyone getting these last year or this year soo

this is the "normal likely" i think it must've stopped during lockdown ig? idk

the program still exists though

[ebon salmon]

The title 🥹

Uh??

Wtf

[solemn pasture]

yo my fault

j imagine opening yo email and seeing that

[distant flume]

This is so real
