my counselor had to go in

and put it in through commonapp

idk where but

#

they probably know how

#

just give them a heads up

i think it falls under recommendation sections

so maybe think of it as another recommendation letter

#

do we submit mid year by asking our counselor and making submit my common app or through this thing called slate.org

#

Y'all does this mean that an intl with efc 2k vs 20k would be considered similarly?

#

Or they still consider the amount and it's just not binary yes/no?

#

Gonna pray that I get in that 3% admit rate lol meltingsob

#

But like ratio-wise (intl on aid/total intl + amount) Duke is one of the best in non-HYPSM t20s.

U can also make a video w glimpse

#

I am so pleased

#

I want to ED duke but my main drawback for it was no entomology besides a single class

#

(And entomology is integral to my career)

#

Buttttt

#

I can take courses from NC state

#

And get all of the entomology I want

#

And I win

ED is pretty big boost tho

like 12ish AR

vapid urchin

Tbh

#

If I am able to get into duke, it shouldn’t be a reliance on the statistic alone. What matters is that by placing it as my early decision application, it places a commitment that is important irrespective of the decision

And NC state actually has more classes than UPenn for what I want to study

So UPenns strongest factor was more or less eliminated

Hi so I'm a US citizen from a high school outside the United States.

According to duke I'll be considered an international student

#

So for the css profile, it says for international applicants that's it's for "entering and returning students"

#

Should I be sending the css profile to Duke? Not sure because I think that entering studnet means a student already admitted, right?

I heard that Duke might really like my community service so hopefully that helps

#

And it's not fake community service that I'm doing just for college, I actually enjoy it

#

Plus I like the Duke engage program

#

So

#

hopefully that'll help

#

Honestly I love Duke so much it's like perfect for me

#

Their ethos resonates a lot with me

LOL I feel like that's something I can say in my why Duke essay

i literally did the brown vid but im too lazy to cut it down 30 seconds and switch around some of the editing 💀

also i feel like my brown vid was just horrendous and also since its the first year of glimpse and i think alot of ppl literally dont know abt it it wont be a big deal

am i not allowed to just reuse my washU and brown video for the glipse video

yea u have to record it in the app unfortunately

imo unless you have something good to say its not worth it

swift needle
#

trim hornet
#

i truly dont think it matters but whatever

#

crazy that it costs $22 tho

swift needle
#

$22 is crazy

#

being so fr they dont even put it on the app checklist so idk..

trim hornet
#

YEAH exactly

swift needle
#

idky they make it so hard to find

placid storm
#

Idc im not spending anymore money on college apps despite the fact i got fee waived for a lot

cerulean socket
#

wtf

#

#

swift needle
#

Now why tf are they asking $22 for a 90 second zoom video

forest iron
#

bruh anyone here applied to duke kunshan??

#

i literally forgot to submit their 'why dku'

uncut tapir
#

its optional tho

#

like I didn't really care about kunshan from the beginning so

#

but sent it j4f

jade estuary
#

what's that

forest iron
#

idc either

#

they kinda emailed me back to back so i was like ok

#

as someone who's fearing a rejection from all colleges, their email kinda gave me hope

@forest iron what's dku

forest iron
forest iron
#

the one that's in china

#

there was an option on the duke portal to be considered for dku and i guess i consented or something

jade estuary
#

ohhhh okay

quartz adder
forest iron
#

yeah basically

swift needle
#

hey anyone hear about a duke interview yet for RD?

steady sequoia
#

I want kyrie irving to interview me I think that would be crazy

swift needle
#

u should specially request him

steady sequoia
#

can you do that lmao

swift needle
#

i dont think so 😭

steady sequoia
#

"yo kyrie can you nepo me onto the duke bball team"

vocal umbra
#

is DKU even worth it for the cost

forest iron
#

i believe 3 people get it

#

but i mean (based on my current acceptances) I can't give up oxford just because of the financial factor for dku

#

so idk

#

but keeping options helps

vocal umbra
forest iron
#

yeah lol

#

it's like tuition and non-tuition cover

#

they probably have more aid for like just the tuition

forest iron
#

it says this and kinda looks like a likely lol:

Dear name,
We are delighted that you applied for admission to Duke Kunshan University (DKU) through your Duke University application. We have completed a preliminary review of your application and find you to be a promising candidate for admission, reflecting your potential fit with DKU's unique global identity and academic community. While it's still early in the admissions process, we believe you possess the forward-thinking, community-minded spirit we cherish and the potential to make a significant impact.

#

but its weird to send something so early so i was wondering

#

ngl looks more like marketing to me considering it's dku

#

but lemme know if anyone of you got this

wanton dirge
#

i didn't

#

did duke start sending interviews?

#

ik interviews dont mean a lot to some schools but to some schools it means smth positive

#

do interviews matter for duke?

quartz adder
#

they are offered based on availability

quasi flower
forest iron
# uncut tapir I see

but like the email says 'we've completed preliminary review of YOUR application', so I mean the process must be still ongoing.

#

so definitely not worth reading too much into this.

wanton dirge
#

how selective is dku?

uncut tapir
#

I'm guessing it's more friendly towards international students

quartz adder
#

it was good

forest iron
#

kinda have like majority seats reserved for chinese ctizens or something

#

as per my research but idk

#

considering it's reletively new, i doubt if it's very selective

#

internet says 7-8% though

split hare
#

pretty sure the rate is very misleading

#

based on how china does college admissions (based solely on your gaokao score), dku isn't very hard at all of chinese students to get in

#

apparently tehy consider it tier 2 or 3 over there

forest iron
#

im guessing that's for internationals

split hare
#

yeah internationals might be harder

#

my parents didnt let me apply 😭

forest iron
#

i applied by mistake dogekek

split hare
#

my dad went on a trip to china 2 months ago and apparently he was bored out of his mind

#

cause no netflix or youtube 😂

forest iron
#

in my case, my parents would never let me go and the reason is just hilarious

#

while not sure about it, but like supposedly you can pay like high amounts to get mbbs done from china and it's not at all selective and 2 of my cousins did that because they didn't get placement based on my country's national competitive examination

#

so like my mom goes like people will think you're going to china because u couldn't pass any national exams and you're just unsuccessful lol

#

don't know if that made sense but yeah 🙃

split hare
#

💀

#

yeah it kinda does

#

i was born in china too and going back to china literally has no value in my parents' eyes

#

more opportunities in america

#

and the censuring/great firewall stuff is a no for me

Did I do something wrong

Like I legit got 0 interviews

#

This is stressing me out

#

Cuz I legit didn’t even get notified by usc that my application was updated either and I get 0 scholarship or financial aid info when I clicked on notify me and applied for need financial

swift needle
#

They might still be sending them out but if not dont sweat it

#

Lots of ppl dont get interviews and still get in

Also check ur spam bc it might have gone there

Which I don’t think my major needs it

forest iron
#

or was it just me happysad

rare bluff
#

Nah, I think they haven’t gotten to me yet probs

#

Or maybe I just don’t got a chance cuz my supplemental video sucked (I completely butchered it unfortunately)

forest iron
#

but like got this email, and it's a little too unexpected

rare bluff
#

It’s optional but my mom was pressuring me to do it so I did

#

Did you apply with the duke NC application or DKU one

forest iron
#

duke

#

i got his email:

#

could be they check via duke applications first

rare bluff
#

Ah
The video was mainly like from the DKU applicant portal after you submit the application

rare bluff
#

I didn’t apply to duke cuz I wasn’t interested but I really wanted to study in China for a while

forest iron
#

ic interesting

rare bluff
#

The campus is rlly pretty tho

Didn’t try for their scholarship thing since I don’t qualify (I don’t got much leadership experience)

forest iron

oh I need to fill that, thanks for reminding 🤧

also for reference:

Interview Invitations We will be inviting select applicants to interview in March. While interviews are optional, they are an important opportunity to elevate your DKU application allowing you to further demonstrate your fit and interest. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to participate if you receive an invitation.
