Duke themselves legit confirmed that decisions will be before 19th so I hope that 16-17 will be decisions dates 🙏🏻

HOW IS YOUR COUNSELLOR GETTING ALL OF THIS STUFF

main ginkgo
warm fjord
#

Why this kid tho

#

Wb the other students

#

Like ngl the 16th isn’t impossible bc they did a Saturday last year

#

But if it ends up being right I think it’s funny your counselor is calling you out of everyone

slim cave
#

I wonder why y’all’s counselors aren’t saying anything lmaoo

#

I’m pretty sure everyone of them gets this kind of emails, but I’ll keep you updated faster 💯

ivory flame
#

i’ll ask my counselor when i’m at school later lmao😭

#

BROOOOO WHY IS TIME GOING SO FAST

swift needle
#

I didnt know they let the counselors know about that kind of stuff

Holy shit

#

Good luck everyone

ivory flame
#

wait would we be able to send in new awards i just got a national one😭

cerulean obsidian
#

ya you can email them

main ginkgo
vocal umbra
#

But there’s also a good chance your decision has already been made

#

No harm in sending it though

pallid shale
#

i've barely been thinking about the results but now i'm getting really nervous for some reason

vocal umbra
#

Yea

#

But I’m not expecting anything

#

I just want to know asap so I can get started on rd

#

Cuz it’s so hard to work on rd without knowing about these results

pallid shale
#

yeah i have a ton of rd essays to write noooo

quartz adder
swift locust
#

I just had my intellectual experience that imma write about for Duke 😏😏

quartz adder

#

hey sorry i know everyone keeps asking, but does anyone have a really good guess on when ED might come out?

scenic zephyr

pallid shale
#

well i might get in but the chance is really low

scenic zephyr
#

Oh that’s not a really good guess

#

Ignore that hwalls

burnt horizon

#

true

scenic zephyr

#

at this point i feel like you'd have to cure cancer, perform open heart surgery on the president, and also be a world renowned musician for them to even consider your app

burnt horizon
#

they send an email being like, "hey we're releasing this day, this time," right?

scenic zephyr
#

Yeah I think we find out like the exact time a week or so before decision day

vocal umbra
#

Like isef winners, rsi, etc

#

But remember

#

There’s also a degree of luck involved

quartz adder
#

my chance is high!!!!!

#

of rejection! 💯 🗣️

minor mango
#

the whole point of the essay was getting to know you, everything else is just additional fluff

minor mango
#

i wanna either enjoy my weekend or have time to cope and cry

minor mango

they days go by slow but the months be flying

slim cave
#

Someone asked for ss, here you go

slim cave
#

I don’t have high expectations, I need that rejection to finally work on my rd seriously

minor mango
slim cave
#

Counselor! I didn’t get anything from Duke

#

It’s only Northwestern who sends me emails lol

quartz adder
#

how is your counselor getting allat

quartz adder
minor mango
#

how is your counselor telling you allat

#

i need to have a talk with mine tomorrow fr

slim cave
#

I’m international, she doesn’t really understand everything, so she keeps texting me about it

#

she prolly thinks I’m getting in lmaoo

minor mango
slim cave
#

might as well disappoint her soon 💯

mystic sentinel
minor mango
#

swift needle
#

guys if we all manifest it we'll all get in to duke together

minor mango
#

guys what if we all went on strike

swift needle
#

and then we can have an a2c meetup at the chapel thing

vapid urchin
#

Duke

#

You are so beautiful

#

I love you

minor mango
#

and we said either accept us all or we're driving your yield rate down to 0%

swift needle
#

what if we, as a collective, sent duke a threatening note /j

vapid urchin
#

That would be baller

minor mango
swift needle
#

or like one of those ultimatum things

vapid urchin
#

But I don’t want to threaten duke unless they initially reject me

swift needle
#

that's fair lol

#

u know what? north carolina sucks anyway!

slim cave
#

I need to print duke acceptance letter

#

yeah in case I’ll get rejected (which probably IS the case) I’ll hate on nc even more

vapid urchin
#

Real

swift needle
#

there's nothing to do in durham!!

vapid urchin
#

My state school has a rivalry with duke

#

So if I don’t get in

#

I can just talk about that

minor mango
#

i'd never even been to NC up until this point kek

minor mango
vapid urchin
vapid urchin
minor mango
#

oh huh

#

ok

vapid urchin
#

(I have only been told of this rivalry by a UMD student idk if that is an accurate statement)

#

I’ve been to South Carolina actually

minor mango
#

i mean clearly it's a one-sided rivalry cuz the only thing they talked about at the duke info session was hating on UNC

vapid urchin
#

I will have to compare NC AND SC

vapid urchin
minor mango
vapid urchin
#

I mean UMD is a state school

#

They won’t admit a rivalry to that

#

Unless it’s to one in state

minor mango
#

fair

#

also cuz they're so close i guess

#

also cuz both are blue

vapid urchin
#

Won’t matter once duke accepts me

minor mango
#

TRUE

vapid urchin
#

Duke is the better blue

minor mango
#

dark blue >>>>>

vapid urchin
#

^^

minor mango
#

please i'm so high on copium right now

#

i've been rolling 1s on all my luck rolls these past couple years i need a 20 just this once

vapid urchin
#

slim cave
#

#

I mean I still have no idea

vapid urchin
#

slim cave
#

#

but ngl I feel like my why duke is good

#

but my first draft was so funny

#

thanks for current duke student for reviewing my essay ❤️❤️

vapid urchin
#

Duke needs to accept me

pallid shale
#

my essays are probably mid

bright glacier
#

yo what are my chances at duke if i already got into ut austin nerosci major instate?

swift needle
#

honestly, hard to say since the acceptance rate is so low

quartz adder
#

i think my essays were decent

#

but they were last minute 😭

ivory flame
#

GUYS WDYM NORTH CAROLINA IS THE BEST

vocal umbra
#

Even the aos

#

There’s so much randomness

#

Just wait and see atp

But UT is really good to have as a “backup”

swift needle

Do they compare in ur school district ?

minor mango
#

granted i did see a girl wearing duke sweatpants but a. idk if she was a senior and b. idk if she's applying ED

#

slim cave

I hope they’ll accept me because of it at least lol

minor mango

slim cave
minor mango
minor mango

the funny thing about that question is that i don't know

then i moved into downtown

minor mango
brazen tree
#

it has been 18 years and i do not know what chicago's climate is

minor mango
#

oh wtf

brazen tree
#

some bastards did a little climate changing so it's even worse

minor mango
#

LMAO

brazen tree
#

but like this place just has the most disgustingly erratic weather

#

like deadass

#

sometimes it's just 50 degrees in december

#

and then in march it's -10 for 0 reason

minor mango
#

i aint a CS kid i'm not applying to uchicago anyways

minor mango
brazen tree
#

but in one day it just

#

randomly ranges from like 5 degrees to 45???

#

thank you chicago for being literally fucking uninhabitable by humans

#

bring 45 layers every time u step outside i think

#

it gets just cold and hot enough to be uncomfortable in the summer/winter/sometime else because the temps dont match the time of year a lot of the time for some reason

#

we peak like 90-95 deg most years in summer and 0 in winter/spring

#

subject to 45 degree epsilon neighborhood 💀

ivory flame
#

that’s like in seoul this summer

minor mango
#

i thought ppl got likely letters if they were athletes or something ?

vocal umbra

Ye

#

Usually it’s for RD

#

Or athletes

#

But this person is claiming to have gotten one now

#

But refuses to send it

fresh night
#

He’s lying right?

minor mango
#

i’d take it with a grain of salt

#

or maybe a heaping

#

anyways, most admitted students don’t get a letter so there’s no point in stressing

quartz adder
#

what should i dooo since my css still says awaiting for dukeeeeee
is that a bad sign

minor mango
#

duke's fr gotta announce the decision date

#

the suspense is killing me

#

please don't let it be on a sunday meltingsob

Duke’s essays are murdering me like please leave me alone

Can’t copy and paste the community essay 😭

tribal bane
vocal umbra
#

Not if i get in

tribal bane
#

I’m saying that post

#

like hate on Duke but don’t be hating on nc it’s a nice place

minor mango
#

i think this chat's the exact opposite LMAO

tribal bane
#

although I will agree there isn’t a ton of stuff to do here

tribal bane
#

I take it personally cause I live there

minor mango
#

i'm so down bad for duke rn

#

if only i was in state

tribal bane
#

Does in state really have a noticeable advantage?

#

I got into this college app sweating business too late noooo

minor mango
#

not totally sure bcs it varies based on school

#

and i didn't check for duke

vocal umbra
#

Lowkey

#

I think this year it may be a disadvantage

#

Cuz of the grant

tribal bane
#

I mean unc has something similar too now

#

just not as good as dukes

#

I think theirs is 80-90k ish full tuition coverage or something

minor mango
#

but duke is more prestigious so there's probably a massive influx this year

tribal bane
#

I mean the thing is that places like wake county there’s a lot of people who don’t benefit from that grant

vocal umbra
#

Yea

#

I think the reason it increased by 1300 is the grant

tribal bane
#

I’d say 90% of ppl applying Duke in wake county area and stuff are well above that grant income threshold

vocal umbra
#

Yes but it’s for sc too

tribal bane
#

ohh right

#

forgot abt that one

sc is where all those extra applicants must be coming from

vocal umbra
#

And other parts of nc

#

Right

ivory flame
#

GUYSSS im scaredddddd like duke is too goodddddd

vocal umbra
#

I’m not too familiar with nc

tribal bane
#

yeah but not as much from nc

vocal umbra
#

Either way

#

Everything’s out of our control

#

So we can just wait and see

tribal bane
#

yeah

#

10 more days

#

roughly

minor mango
tribal bane
#

if I get into duke I’m gonna be like I don’t deserve it ☠️

#

but I still want to get in

vocal umbra
#

Ye imposter syndrome go crazy

#

But that’s a problem for later

#

Which I probably won’t have to deal with

minor mango
#

better to be in and doubt than get rejected and be in denial

#

i'll fr be waiting for my "oops we messed up" letter

scenic zephyr
minor mango
#

nah fr

#

either let me cry in peace or celebrate in peace

#

friday is what i'm hoping for

vocal umbra
#

Yea

#

That gives me sat and sun to recover and then go to school

minor mango
#

i've got winter break so i'll be able to mentally prep myself for the grind

minor mango
vocal umbra
vocal umbra
#

But I didn’t apply for financial aid so

quartz adder
#

ive never heard of it before

slim cave
#

no, not everyone

slim cave
quartz adder
slim cave
#

some people just like making others feels as much of a pressure as them so ahah

#

dw guys we’re all getting into that 10% of accepted students

slim cave
# quartz adder did u get it ?

no for duke. For other 2 schools I’ve applied with isfaa (international student financial aid application), and they asked me to provide additional documents

vocal umbra
#

wait

#

they dont request IDOC for anyone that doesnt apply for fin aid right

vocal umbra
#

like look at their excuses

#

they said since theyre getting "too many questions" they dont want to share the screenshot

minor mango
#

the way they talk seems genuine but the hesitation is a bit iffy

vocal umbra
#

well either way it doesnt affect us

minor mango
#

mhm

vocal umbra
#

ima just ignore it

vocal umbra
#

and the only personal info should be the name which is super easy to redact

minor mango
#

bro literally didn't even send a likely screenshot from ED

#

the link he has is from RD three years ago

vocal umbra
#

he said its "similar to this"

minor mango
#

cap

vocal umbra
#

yea im 99% sure the whole post is trolling

#

but i dont see why anyone would do that

minor mango
#

some people just like to stir shit up

#

there's people out there that'll email schools tryna sabotage classmates

#

or even on the off chance that this guy is telling the truth, the vagueness rlly isn't helping anyone

vocal umbra
#

yea

#

the post didnt help anyone

#

it just left everyone more anxious and confused

minor mango
#

there's a reason people call em D1 yappers

pallid shale
#

they should send out unlikely letters so i can stop being delulu troll

icy hatch
vocal umbra
#

only for athletes

#

i think

tough raptor
#

Almost no school gives likelies for ED

#

there is no reason

vocal umbra
#

yea cuz the whole point of it is to draw you in to the school more

#

but if ur EDing you're already committed

tough raptor
#

Likely letters are reserved for RD

vocal umbra
#

dang i didnt apply fin aid 😭

#

also @icy hatch i have a question

#

can i ask u in DMs

icy hatch
#

sure

quartz adder
#

they emailed me to submit my w2 and 1040 like couple hours ago

#

is that good sign or am i de lu lu

mystic sentinel
#

uh it dependsz because

#

LMAO

icy hatch
#

i'm not gonna say yes or no

mystic sentinel
#

💀

#

its not a bad sign

#

because for me i messed up my css profile pretty badly and i didnt even get an email from any of ky colleges except bowdoin

tribal bane
#

Maybe I shouldn’t have made sure I got everything perfectly

vocal umbra
#

this is the equivalent of portal astrologymeltingsob

quartz adder
#

yeah i think its unrelated and im just de lu lu

tribal bane
#

well u got 10 days left

#

don’t overthink it rn

mystic sentinel
#

so if the finacial aid asks for something, theres a chance or more likely than not they dont even talk to the office

#

u got a call right

#

i swear thats built diff

vocal umbra
#

@mystic sentinel did u get anything before u got in

quartz adder
mystic sentinel
maiden bridge
#

also no portal astrology

tribal bane
#

No overthink

maiden bridge
#

stop looking to financial documents for signs and be patient y'all

quartz adder
#

😭 😭

mystic sentinel
vocal umbra
tribal bane
#

I don’t believe in myself fr

mystic sentinel
#

yea dont over think it

mystic sentinel
vocal umbra
mystic sentinel
vocal umbra
#

ye no point speculating now

maiden bridge
tribal bane
#

as much as they could be “need blind” I can’t see why they wouldn’t accept a full pay so that they could take in a qualified applicant who needs aid

icy hatch
#

all ik atp is decisions will come out sometime late next week

tribal bane
#

yeah

#

no point thinking abt this now

mystic sentinel
#

i cant wait to meet more future dookies

vocal umbra
quartz adder
vocal umbra
#

cuz the full pay students are indirectly helping the other students who need aid

icy hatch
#

that's what my friends in admissions/communications have told me

tribal bane
#

if we get in we get in and if we don’t then we got someplace better to go to

vocal umbra
#

otehr than tour guide

mystic sentinel
icy hatch
#

not any of the applications stuff

quartz adder
quartz adder
vocal umbra
icy hatch
#

yeah

mystic sentinel
#

my llama

IMG_9338.jpg
vocal umbra
#

so they make like the posts that say the acceptance rate and number of applications

icy hatch
#

masters students though they can work in admissions iirc

vocal umbra
#

on duke chronicle

icy hatch
#

yeah they run @discoverduke and shit like that

#

@dukechronicle is independent from the university

mystic sentinel
#

oh the better blue

#

do u attend duke

#

no way

icy hatch
#

psst join the chronicle

#

yes i go to duke

mystic sentinel
#

😱

tribal bane
#

😭

mystic sentinel
#

one question though. whats the difference between the work federal study and student contribution

icy hatch
#

wdym

#

wait

#

oh ok i get what youre asking

mystic sentinel
#

im expected to do 2.2k in work federal study and do another 2.2k for student contribution

#

yea

icy hatch
#

student contribution is what they expect you to pay straight up

tribal bane
mystic sentinel
tribal bane
#

it’s kinda like a job in a way but easier?

icy hatch
#

and then work study is basically you can get a campus job and they'll pay you

#

tbh i just lump the 2 numbers together

mystic sentinel
mystic sentinel
#

basically

tribal bane
#

yeah

icy hatch
#

bc they're basically expecting you to pay those 2 numbers summed up

#

yeah

mystic sentinel
#

giving a side eye to questbridge right now

icy hatch
#

💀

mystic sentinel
#

do u go home for winter breaks

#

and stuff

tribal bane
#

ngl the whole work study thing is just a way for colleges to get out of giving students that extra few thousand

icy hatch
#

work in athletics iirc we pay decently well compared to most of the other work study jobs on campus?

mystic sentinel
#

do they cover ur fares

icy hatch
icy hatch
mystic sentinel
#

another lie from duke

#

😞

icy hatch
#

idk maybe its diff for qb

#

i'm not qb so idk

mystic sentinel
tribal bane
#

I’ve never heard of college covering fares to go home

icy hatch
#

oh rip

mystic sentinel
icy hatch
#

iirc they used to do it? don't remember

tribal bane
#

oh that’s cool

mystic sentinel
#

some colleges do genuinely follow up on it

#

because a ticket for me would be 500-600

#

cali kids sigh

vocal umbra
#

it gets higher during break times too

#

which sucks

tribal bane
#

Yeah

icy hatch
#

book your tickets farther out

mystic sentinel
icy hatch
#

that's

mystic sentinel
icy hatch
#

icy hatch
#

slim cave
#

Why OP is saying that Duke didn’t specify the numbers of applicants lol? When counselors got it

tribal bane
#

slim cave
#

icy hatch
#

icy hatch
mystic sentinel

vocal umbra

#

mystic sentinel
icy hatch
#

vocal umbra
#

icy hatch
#

we were ~17 iirc

vocal umbra
#

thats from 2017

#

so its probably above 200 by now

icy hatch
#

yeah

vocal umbra
#

this is some interesting data

image.png
tribal bane
#

if you don’t include questbridge / athletes that average must be crazy

vocal umbra
#

more women apply than men

#

like nearly double

tribal bane
#

65% is wild

#

45% white ED applicants?

icy hatch
#

where is this from lmao

vocal umbra
#

is it cuz duke is a med kinda school and women tend to go into medicine

vocal umbra
tepid pagoda
#

yeah we have an issue with the percentage of ppl on pell grants and also aid for the middle class

icy hatch
#

oh wait

vocal umbra
icy hatch
#

oh yeah this is first year survey

#

there's also a response bias issue with this survey soooo take it with a grain of salt

vocal umbra
#

this is still crazy

image.png
icy hatch
#

~20 percent of the class filled out the survey

vocal umbra
#

i know its a survey

#

but only one native american

#

thats gotta be the craziest hook

mystic sentinel
#

at that point

icy hatch
#

FY survey asks a lot of other questions

scenic zephyr
tribal bane
#

The survey says 65% of those w income 250-500k applied ED

icy hatch
#

vocal umbra

tribal bane
vocal umbra
#

image.png
mystic sentinel
#

vocal umbra
#
