[mellow forum]

you get around a month to confirm enrollment

and pay the enrollment fee

after youve paid that you rescind

[vocal umbra]

Withdraw u mean?

[scenic zephyr]

the fees never end

[mellow forum]

yeah

[mellow forum]

Deferred is the most painful

Cuz u have to wait another 3 months

[pallid shale]

yeah true

and duke in particular barely accepts any deferred students

[quartz adder]

i’m out of schooool

[quartz adder]

i thought they said 5-10 percent

in the video

[pallid shale]

that's pretty low when you consider that every deferred student is fully qualified

rd is 5% but not everyone in that pool is a realistic admit

[quartz adder]

that’s true

dont take anything, its probably midnight where you are, whats happened is happened you cant change it, nothing can change it, why go through the same thing a thousand times when u can just experience it once after a good night of sleep

so sleep

because making ur mind stop racing is hard LOL

[north ravine]

Life's journey is full of twists and turns, and these results are just one part of a much larger story. Whether the news is joyous or challenging, it's a step forward in your unique path. Embrace the experience for what it is: a single moment in a lifetime of moments. Allow yourself to process, to breathe, and to prepare for the new day ahead with a clear mind and a rested heart. A letter from duke shouldn't change any of that.

Remember, success is not just about results, but about the resilience, growth, and courage you show along the way. You are so much more than a letter or a number on a page and that acceptance letter from duke. Your worth and potential extend far beyond these results. Whatever the outcome, know that there are endless opportunities waiting for you, each with its own lessons and rewards.

So tonight, rest easy. Let the stars above be a reminder of the vast possibilities that lie ahead. Tomorrow, you will wake up to a new day, ready to face whatever comes with strength and grace. Your journey is just beginning, and the best is yet to come.

[pallid shale]

i won't be checking mine until like 8 but sure

[quartz adder]

sureee

[scenic zephyr]

: (

[pallid shale]

watch it be 1 accepted, 3-4 deferred, the rest rejected

[warm fjord]

I’ll pin the poll, just react after you open

Stats go 🆙

Yale kinda took an L tho

Not a huge bump

Y’all can do better

[quartz adder]

yessssuhhh

Ikr…

[scenic zephyr]

Cause we always active

Don’t only come before the decision

What are the chances we beat ivy day

We have 6.5 hours left

And we’re just under 28k total server messages

Ivy day was 53k

Either ivy day or March 17/18

I forgot

But the server record day

[scenic zephyr]

What’s the deferral acceptance rate?

[quartz adder]

@scenic zephyr

they said 15ish

[scenic zephyr]

That’s actually really good isn’t it?

[pallid shale]

when

wasn't it 5-10

[scenic zephyr]

Is that the deferral rate or the percentage of deferred applicants who get in ?

[tough monolith]

lmao yeah

[quartz adder]

oh

deferral acceptance rate

yea 5-10 percent

i think

[scenic zephyr]

Yeah 15 percent deferral makes more sense than deferral acceptance

That would be crazy

[quartz adder]

625 trinity 181 pratt

[scenic zephyr]

5 trinity 2 Pratt

[tribal bane]

Out of the 121 I’m saying

[pure gyro]

huh

[tribal bane]

Or is that not known

[quartz adder]

oh no idea

[pure gyro]

[scenic zephyr]

Dude is def a South Carolina Pratt

[tribal bane]

nc trinity

[scenic zephyr]

Damn

I got both wrong 😭

[pure gyro]

bro shot both chances

[tribal bane]

still getting rejected tho ☠️

[pure gyro]

good god i need this one W in my life

just one

[tribal bane]

same

[pure gyro]

[swift needle]

Is pratt lower acceptance rate or its just less people apply?

[scenic zephyr]

Fr ima lost cause without this

[tribal bane]

but this might be another L for me

[pure gyro]

we don't know

but i'd guess lower acceptance rate

[swift needle]

Oh 😭

[tribal bane]

just more majors so more spots I’m assuming

[scenic zephyr]

They get a lot less people though

[pallid shale]

only 24 sc people it's over

[pure gyro]

they're not gonna publish the stats per school

[swift needle]

Im applying to pratt so i get worried lol

[scenic zephyr]

24 is CRAZY

[tribal bane]

for NC my guess is 95 trinity 26 pratt

[thorny berry]

does ED make a diff at duke admission chsnces

[tribal bane]

roughly

[thorny berry]

i mean legacy

[quartz adder]

bro 24 is RIDICULOUS

[pure gyro]

actually this is a good point, i'd say maybe a higher acceptance rate since they get less people (only like 6? majors compared to the shitton in trinity) but way more competitive stem-wise (so if you don't have the hard stats and awards, good luck)

[tribal bane]

technically yes but

[pure gyro]

think about it, you already know that most people in your school aren't even applying to duke

so that explains the lower acceptance rate

[tribal bane]

i swear everyone in NC is applying duke

[pure gyro]

there better not be anyone at my school applying to duke

[thorny berry]

in state gives better chances no?

[thorny berry]

why would that matter

[pure gyro]

this is gonna sound really mean but please tell me that my opps are worse

[quartz adder]

maybe not this year

[pure gyro]

they compare you to your classmates

[pure gyro]

yes

usually

[thorny berry]

aw nahhh

we only have 47 kids

[scenic zephyr]

It’s kinda crazy tho they hyped up the south Carolina application numbers so much

🤭🤭

[pallid shale]

yep sadly

[scenic zephyr]

And then didn’t accept like any

[pallid shale]

cuz we suck

[slim cave]

yeah atp

[quartz adder]

atleast 3 people applied from my school and my school is like not competitive 😭

[slim cave]

50min

[quartz adder]

south carolina education is rlly low tho tbh

[slim cave]

let’s just have emotional talk here

[vocal umbra]

Did they release numbers for other states

[vale knot]

omg

[quartz adder]

dont think so

only nc sc

[pallid shale]

i bet it's like a 5% acceptance rate for sc

[pallid shale]

well i cheated cuz i was in new jersey for kindergarten-7th grade

[quartz adder]

my school is like bottom 25th percentile in SOUTH CAROLINA 😭

[pallid shale]

that or they hate us

[pure gyro]

"you're either in state or you out of state" - duke probably

this is probably true

they don't worry about missing out on a few thousand dollars if it means that they'll be able to have a way lower acceptance rate to seem prestigious

they win either way

more econ diversity + lower acceptance rate

oh god 7 pm is gonna be a bloodbath

"Duke saw an additional increase in first-generation admits and students indicating they would apply for financial aid, according to Guttentag. The increase comes after a September New York Times article described Duke as one of the least economically diverse elite universities in the country. "

[pure gyro]

me when the public relations

[heady plaza]

they probably mmmean more economically diverse from carolina

[pure gyro]

[heady plaza]

and the reest gotta be rich ppl from the other states

[pure gyro]

no reason to accept more from other states tbh

[heady plaza]

more money

[pure gyro]
