[pure gyro]

SC education is not good

but certain parts are very good

[pure gyro]

[vale knot]

“OMG I GOT IN!!”” “Nvm”

[heady urchin]

Yale did pretty decent!! Lots of acceptances and deferrals

[quartz adder]

[heady urchin]

Yup

[tribal bane]

I’m actually expecting it to go up a bit next year

because it went down so much this yr

[vale knot]

WILD

[tribal bane]

less ppl will ED

[quartz adder]

how is the deferral acceptance rate tho 😭 i feel like deferral would be false hope for me

[pure gyro]

cuz everyone realized it was hopeless

[tribal bane]

yep

[void perch]

manifesting w my pfp

[heady urchin]

Google

[tribal bane]

[vocal umbra]

Yep

[nova shuttle]

the pool keeps getting worse and worse

[vocal umbra]

It’s gone down drastically

[nova shuttle]

damn shotgunners

[vocal umbra]

And they aren’t increasing the class size at all

[fresh night]

effects of test optional

[nova shuttle]

i wish test optional was cancelled this year

[vocal umbra]

The class size for ED has been 800 for the past like 10 years

[quartz adder]

if test optional was canceled i would have 0 chance

[formal rose]

A score shouldn’t determine your ability though.

A few under 1000

[zenith rover]

is this ed

[pure gyro]

it all depends on the region

[pure gyro]

mostly yeah

[zenith rover]

www

[nova shuttle]

And SAT comes out tomororow Xo

[tepid pagoda]

Define a few I feel like it's been around 6

[zenith rover]

fuck sat

[formal rose]

Its because they focus on your art and project abilty rather than a number on a test

[nova shuttle]

yeah 6 qualifies as a few

5 i think actually

[vocal umbra]

Yea film is not really focused on testing

At all

[pure gyro]

but there is very much a regional factor to it

you can't deny that

ah fuck 9 minutes

[narrow quiver]

GOODLUCK ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scenic zephyr]

Shouldn’t really matter

[scenic zephyr]

Yo wtf

Other dude said there was no confetti

[icy hatch]

[slim cave]

anyone who got rejected: don’t be sad, at least you won’t be studying w people who steal snickers or can’t even park 💙

[icy hatch]

have i ranted about the parking here

LMAO

[quartz adder]

should i bring my car to duke ...

[warm ore]

Bro I can’t believe I’m gonna miss out on the dining hall

[icy hatch]

might as well

are you local to the area?

[quartz adder]

3 and half hourish

[icy hatch]

yeah bring it

[warm ore]

Then you can drive to like Raleigh and stuff

[quartz adder]

do you have to pay for parking

[icy hatch]

yeah

[tame bolt]

you will get into better one 😂

[icy hatch]

450 a year

iirc

[sharp basin]

Do you guys think i screwed myself over applying engineering in my apps with no engineering ecs

[icy hatch]

meh

doubtful

[sharp basin]

ok

[tame bolt]

if it's CS lol

😂

[formal rose]

Imagine getting expelled over something as stupid as a snickers bar

[sharp basin]

so like for my rds should i still apply engineering if i wanna do engineering even if i have no engineering ecs?

[tame bolt]

isnt duke holistic

idk

[formal rose]

At least you arent trying to get into a class of 220

[winged snow]

x_x

[icy hatch]

oh lord

[tame bolt]

what was previous year's

[icy hatch]

16.x iirc

[tame bolt]

admission is getting crazy every year

[winged snow]

Idk but probably around 16 or so

[icy hatch]

yeah it was 16something

it's in the article

[winged snow]

I'm hoping that this year's low acceptance will make people not apply next year and then I'll get in lol

[mellow forum]

i still cant believe it

[icy hatch]

lmao it's only gonna get worse

[mellow forum]

honestly

[icy hatch]

bc carolina promise

[winged snow]

Ugh

[scenic zephyr]

Yes

[winged snow]

I'm pretty sure it does fluctuate like that year by year though

But overall trend is going down obviously

[icy hatch]

yeah

there's some rough fluctuation but the combination of test optional and carolina promise has killed duke ED

[vocal umbra]

Yea fr

If it was 2 years ago I could have got in 😭

Maybe

[icy hatch]

c/o 26 was a weird year

[scenic zephyr]

If I was 10 years older I’d have gone anywhere

[brazen tree]

im an impostor

[icy hatch]

2025 was the original year of hell

[brazen tree]

im ed brown

[sharp basin]

it's not cs

it was biomedical

[brazen tree]

[warm ore]

Congrats bro

[past pelican]

[winged snow]

I swear my parents will force me to ED to Cornell next year if they found out about this

[mellow forum]

tytyty

[past pelican]

but pre med too

[icy hatch]

cornell ain't better

[winged snow]

Agreed but my parents told me to ED to whatever school has the highest acceptance rate

[vocal umbra]

Cornell is worse

They reduced emphasis on ED

[icy hatch]

yeah iirc they were around 10 this year

[winged snow]

But I know for a fact that if I go to Cornell I'll always regret not trying for Duke ED

[winged snow]

NO WAY

You're kidding

[quartz adder]

how often do acceptances get rescinded

[winged snow]

Not often

[brazen tree]

dont troll

💀

[mystic sentinel]

did duke just turn

[icy hatch]

very rarely

[mystic sentinel]

test optional

[vocal umbra]

just don’t go more than 10 pts lower

[mystic sentinel]

this year

[quartz adder]

[icy hatch]

[quartz adder]

[north ravine]

15% def

[quartz adder]

how much cs and math exp do i need? should i do self study?
@icy hatch i have barely any cs experience

and my highest lvl of math is pre calc

[icy hatch]

for duke cs? uh you'll be fine 101/201 gives you a good foundation

plus the TAs are generally very good

[quartz adder]

and how about math

[icy hatch]

duke math is universally hell

lmao

[vocal umbra]

@pallid shale this u?

[pallid shale]

yes lol

[icy hatch]

112 is a known weeder

[vocal umbra]

[winged snow]

Ask your counselor

But probably sooner is better

[icy hatch]

you might want to brush up on anything you don't feel super comfortable with from algebra, know trig very well, uhhhhhhh besides that i didn't rlly take much math at duke so

oh and take calc 2 with schott nobody else

[warm ore]

My grades are shit that’s prolly why I got rejected

[north ravine]

looks they cared more ab grades than ecs

[winged snow]

This guy is from my school and now I'm scared cause my grades suck (7 APs is a very heavy courseload for people at my school)

[sharp basin]

yeah ❤️ rejected 36 act ranked #1 decent essays i think lol

my ecs were mid but they were like fine i think

whateva

[winged snow]

[north ravine]
