Duke University (2023-2024)

[tough raptor]

I kinda really want an interview to ask questions about the school

[heady urchin]

She probably had something to do

[main aurora]

[waxen dragon]

[tough raptor]

Duke safety for you fr

[waxen dragon]

Duke is megareach but yea love the positive energy

Duke ‘28

🙏

[past pelican]

Anyone here that applied for Robertson

[serene siren]

ye

[steady fern]

I didn’t even know it existed until today

[main aurora]

lol same

[forest iron]

lmao same for me

He went to their business school and the entire time i asked him question about duke he'd be like business school is different so idk about that

And then went on to give some random college advice nothing related to duke lol

[shut turret]

anyone know anything about robertson semi interview

[kind zenith]

im from massachusetts and didnt get a duke interview... its so over

[mint ridge]

It’s not

It’s mainly aviablity

[swift locust]

yeah now im confused, she’s originally from florida and moved to mass so she has no relation to my state…

[swift locust]

not for duke

[mint ridge]

ya

But still mainly aviabloty

like all my friends got one

The same day as me

or the next

So it doesn’t mean they read ur app

[swift locust]

that’s fair

[kind zenith]

wait how do they do it

like yale?

[mint ridge]

yale I think actually reads app

Before interview

Cuz I got mines on the 25tj

But my friend got hers

10 days later

[swift locust]

“The Admissions Office will prioritize interviews for students for whom we need additional information.”

[kind zenith]

so everyone thats not auto admit or auto reject prob

[swift locust]

duke and yale were the last ones to give me an interview

[mint ridge]

Really?

[swift locust]

in RD and EA rounds respectively

[kind zenith]

harvard was last one to offer interview for me

i got yale earlier

[mint ridge]

When did u get yale

[kind zenith]

first email about it was jan 30

[mint ridge]

Okay

so ya

It’s not I’ve yet

Over*

[heady urchin]

Yale :((

[kind zenith]

im just nervous about the robertson and this doesnt help lmao

[mint ridge]

U GOT THIS

[kind zenith]

THANKS BAE

SO DO U

[shut turret]

i got semi email like 2 days ago

[swift locust]

congrats!!

[shut turret]

Thx!!

yall got this tho its rolling so theyll prolly send more this week

[kind zenith]

manifesting acceptance but just for peace of mind when do we think notification of robertson rejection will come out lmao

[serene siren]

I feel like next Sunday prob?

[native willow]

can anyone that got robertson semifinalist too send me the group interview information?

i already scheduled my group interview but now i cant see the paragraph of information about what to expect and bring

i think it was aobut some object? but i would love to see the original text

or maybe im dumb and just cant find it :/

@shut turret ^^

sorry for the ping, just saw that u were also a semifinalist

[heady urchin]

Maybe you could email them?

And tell them you can’t see the text

[native willow]

no but i might just be stupid.

hopefully someone responds before i might embarrass myself

[heady urchin]

It could be a glitch

I’ve gotten emails with text that was blank on my side

[native willow]

ya, imma just ask around first, ill email them if no1 responds

[past pelican]

Wonder why they released some earlier

[tough hemlock]

not earlier
they do this like every time

[past pelican]

What

If we didn’t get notified that means we didn’t get it?

[tough hemlock]

Pretty much
Yes

But people are saying that they're doing it on a rolling basis

[main aurora]

No, they’ll notify you on the 19th if you didn’t

[true mica]

just got an interview last night so ig I’m on the fence rn

[shut turret]

Instructions for the Group Interview:

Please select one physical item/object that you feel best represents you and your values or tells a story of what is meaningful in your life. You will have 90 seconds to present this item to the group. After you complete your presentation, the members of the group will be able to ask each other follow up questions for 3 minutes following each presentation. We will rotate through participants in alphabetical order.

After that portion of the exercise is complete, we will introduce the second portion of the exercise which is not intended to require advance preparation.

What even is a group interview anyway

[jade estuary]

bro thats so cool omg

[shut turret]

I wonder why theyre doing it

@native willow it should be in the semi email as well

[shut turret]

Im guessing they sent the initial ones and if someone doesnt accept the interview theyll send more

[main aurora]

what time did you get yours?

[past pelican]

did you get into honors college at UNC?

[past pelican]

did you get semi?

[tough hemlock]

nope

[past pelican]

did u get honors college at UNC

[tough hemlock]

didnt even apply to UNC

[past pelican]

oh

im confused why they wouldnt release all at once

has anyone gotten a rejection

[tough hemlock]

rejections come pretty late

ig you can expect that around 19th

[past pelican]

but why not release them all at the same time

ok i found something that said semifinalist notifs go out until thursday and then all rejections come on the 19th

[fervent berry]

Duke has group interview???

[tough hemlock]

they are talking about robertson

[fervent berry]

Ohhh i see

[past pelican]

bruh i just want my email

[tough hemlock]

same

I needed this robertson semi

didnt even want to be a finalist btw

just needed the acceptance

from duke

[past pelican]

duke likely letters have already gone out

[tough hemlock]

i am intl

[past pelican]

LOL

[native willow]

dms

[shut turret]

12:26pm

[past pelican]

[native willow]

all resolved now

[past pelican]

oh good

bruhhhhhhh i need this email

[shut turret]

Do yall know what the finalist rate is after semi

Like how many semi get finalist

[past pelican]

no idea

[ebon spruce]

does getting an interview this late mean anything

[true mica]

I got one last night probably means we’re on the fence

[main aurora]

idk? they prob need more info I got mine late too

[lyric drift]

bro my interview went for an hour that was so long 😭

[mossy sedge]

Can’t tell if my friend is trolling but for interviews has anyone interview been with their ao. Apparently my friends interview started with them introducing the,selves and then the person just said fyi I’m ur ao. I’m like what?

[signal cosmos]

@bitter gale thoughts??

[signal cosmos]

dk abt duke but it helps a lot for harv

50/50

[lyric drift]

@bitter gale

[mossy sedge]

Interesting but fck bro me and my other friend haven’t gotten an interview yet

[lyric drift]

@signal cosmos Thank you for notifying my good pal, who is quite present in my AP Statistics as well as my AP Literature and Composition courses. This was kind, thoughtful, and most importantly, respectful on your end, and I am forever grateful.

@bitter gale Thoughts?

[bitter gale]

Using a SRS sample over a given amount of 32 students, with an average mean of 32 minutes and 45 seconds, we can conclude t that @lyric drift interview was roughly 10 SD over the mean (normalcdf (32, 10000, 32, 2.2). Thus is just an estimate however we can fairly conclude that the interview went above the time by 10 SD, forming a outlier.

[lyric drift]

CRAP! So I was supposed to use normalcdf????

CRAP! So it was an OUTLIER?

[placid storm]

Homie wtf is this ap stats type shit

[lyric drift]

CRAP! So you're telling me the standard deviation was HIGHER than 10???

CRAP!

[bitter gale]

You are an outlier!

[lyric drift]

CRAP!

Will we get into UChicago ED2?

[placid storm]

Unfortunately u don’t belong with the rest we have to kick u out Bud

[bitter gale]

Using my Artificial Intelligence software I can conclude we are indeed getting in!

[lyric drift]

Heh. Sweet.

Skibidi.

[tough raptor]

Statistically no, but we already determined your an outlier

[lyric drift]

Okay, what the fart?

[placid storm]

The fck is going on?!

[bitter gale]

Statisticians at work.

[lyric drift]

Yep, got that right.

Sweet skibidi.

[swift locust]

Swagfloss r u drake

[tough raptor]

Statismos be happening up in this

[placid storm]

Ya well idk where tf u guys got ur mean. I’d say state ur parameters first, make sure it’s a random sample so no bias

[swift locust]

bc holy mackerel u r silly

[lyric drift]

I'm not Drake, Drake is an African American rapper, notably known for his HIT songs: God's Plan, 21 Savaging, Ruthless Rudy, and Naughty Nancy

[placid storm]

And make sure it’s independent upon each other and it’s large enough

[placid storm]

Hi Swagfloss,

@bitter gale Get a loading of this guy, Lol

I'm not comfortable

[swift locust]

Hi Swagfloss,
Hope this response finds you well. I’m sorry to hear that. Let me know if you have any questions.

swagfloss,

How dare you send such a meaningless and futile email to someone of my caliber? I sincerely hope you receive a poor grade on this assessment. Although for someone of my academic standing, a poor grade is a 98—I believe it is much lower for you.

I'm just uncomfortable. Wait until I am comfortable. Then I'll release my true alpha wolf self. Agh, it's coming out. Please excuse me!

[swift locust]

Erm this is an A and B conversation so C yourself out

[signal cosmos]

Thank you for your message Mr. Drayke,

However, I have a question: do these rules apply to swagfloss, a student from the same school district but from different schools?
I'm just curious if these rules apply to all students in the district. Please forgive me for my broken English.

and Obama' s Balls

Eagerly waiting for your reply,

get in duke first

then worry abt it

[cobalt condor]

MET

they literally throw internships at you

and berkeley is in SV

startup friendly

plus you get 3 degrees

[heady urchin]

It’s not but close enough

[cobalt condor]

ehhh same thing

[bitter gale]

Heh.

[bitter gale]

Hello Sir Hawk,

No worries at all on the "broken english", I could not even tell there was an issue with the english!

Now to answer your question, these rules can be applied to anyone within the same district. The sample provided to me was 32 randomly selected students from within the district, not from just a particular school. This would also make sense as 32 people from @lyric drift did not even apply to Duke University!

Therefore, we can conclude that the conclusion I had previously made can be made to the same school district.

Happy Birthday!

Love,
Drayke

[sullen ravine]

gg looks like robertson is another L

if i havent gotten interview by now

hopefully ivy day will save us

[main aurora]

Same

This has nothing to do with Ivy day

We up

[sullen ravine]

so i have bookmarks for each of my schools

every school that rejects me

i throw into the 'Trash Schools' folder

rejection feels like a breakup (esp ed/rea, that was hard)

[main aurora]

I could imagine

[uncut tapir]

Dookie Lemme in

[dense forge]

Dookie

[dusty beacon]

Are Duke interviewers allowed to email you back if you ask a question post-interview? I remember my interviewer saying she had to break contact, but then also inviting me to email her any questions I had

[dense forge]

[swift locust]

my interviewer has been responsive

[dusty beacon]

After your interview too?

[swift locust]

yes

she thanked me for our convo and sent another email responding to a question I had

[past pelican]

Any more likely letters or Robertson emails today?

[lyric drift]

Aw. Thanks. Aw. Thanks. Aw. Thanks. This means so much. It means TOO much. I love you

[dense forge]

[static harbor]

Finaid request 👀👀

[mint ridge]

A email?

[static harbor]

I doc

[mint ridge]

Wait how do u know

[static harbor]

It def doesn’t mean anything I’m just delulu

[mint ridge]

it’s duke

Cuz I got one but it doesn’t say which school

[static harbor]

Collegeboard emailed me and Duke is the only new school on my list

[mint ridge]

Oh strange

[static harbor]

Yeah same but I logged in and duke was the only new one

[mint ridge]

I don’t have any new schools

But I just got one

[static harbor]

Is it Duke

[mint ridge]

Idk

I added all my schools

Weeks ago

So idk why I just got one

[static harbor]

You can’t add schools to idoc

Only css

[mint ridge]

Ya that’s what I mean

And my IDOc is completed

[static harbor]

Not all my css schools are ok idoc

[mint ridge]

So idk why I got one

[static harbor]

Yeah same

Idk

Oh well

Duke ‘28 fr

[mint ridge]

YES!!

[maiden bridge]

They can’t make a calculation based on the info you submitted

So they wanted your IDOC

Duke doesn’t typically take IDOC

[mint ridge]

Ya, but when I login to IDOc everything was completed

[maiden bridge]

You don’t have to do anything

Duke will take the documents from IDOC

IDOC was just letting you know that another school was getting access to those documents

[mint ridge]

OHHHH

[dense forge]

i think they are doing that for everyone bc i got that too just now

[mint ridge]

OOOOOO

[halcyon wharf]

same

[warped gale]

wait is this about "another college has requested idoc"

[mint ridge]

Si

[warped gale]

oh yeah i got that too

[main aurora]

lol

So appearantly Duke Robertson rejections and semifinalist emails are still coming

Together

Crazy

[tough raptor]

crazy

I don't know what that means tbh

[placid storm]

well if thats the case stanford wants me

[forest iron]

duke-over for me

[dense forge]

when

[main aurora]

someone said yesterday their friend got rejected

i just got an email from the robertson saying that they will notify everyone by the 20th

[dense forge]

when do the results come out

[heady urchin]

Wait America I thought your parents didn’t like nc 😭

Would they let you go if you got Robertson?

[main aurora]

ok this is so weird now that im thinking about it

😭

they said yes if it was duke

😭

i think i got rejected from the first stage anyways so 💀

[heady urchin]

Ohh 😭 bc t20?

[heady urchin]

Nooo

Manifest for the best

[main aurora]

recognizable school

[tough hemlock]

did you email them?

[forest iron]

finally done with all my essays!!!

just submitted the dku scholarship essay (deadline today)

[vast spire]

Nice

[past pelican]

any robertson people hear back today?

[warped gale]

so i got the request for idoc documents email a few days ago

what exactly am i supposed to do

like how are the schools going to get my documents do i have to like reupload them or something

[static harbor]

nah duke just added themselves to see your idoc documebts like tax returns and stuff

i called them today she just said they are accessing what we already submitted

[warped gale]

oh okay they got me worried

[main aurora]

We all did lolllll

They’re weird

[past pelican]

i did not

[split grotto]

so for idoc is there nothing to do??

i logged into my portal and see no action items

just duke got added but idk what to do

[main aurora]

I think that’s right

[maiden bridge]

Nothing typically

If you submitted the typical documents to IDOC already there’s nothing to add

You can always check in a few days to see if something pops up

[split grotto]

alr thanks

[swift locust]

don’t want to add fuel to the fire but: https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/s/PxM68VBd4D

[forest iron]

nah my interview went so average

im cooked fr

[heady urchin]

Makes me feel better Yale didn’t want to interview me :( my interview was also mid asf though

L interviewer I don’t think I want to go to the south anyways so

[forest iron]

dukeover for me

yeah i have dku nw

not going there but yeah

[heady urchin]

I don’t even gaf honestly duke is perfect on paper for me but I think I would struggle a lot culturally

Probably would pick my ca schools over duke

[mystic finch]

imagine getting an interview

[forest iron]

why exactly though?

[forest iron]

i got one still 0 confidence

rather went in negatives after the interview

[mint ridge]

Idk how

Competive duke interviews are

But I got mines and my friends got theirs

At exact same time

[heady urchin]

California is very different from north Carolina so I think I’d have a huge cultural shock

And not in the way I’d like

[forest iron]

hmm makes sense

[forest iron]

idky but i think this stuff gets competitive only for internationals

i might be wrong though

[swift locust]

as someone in the south, i rly rly don’t blame u

but duke has a v strong work hard play hard culture

[mint ridge]

ya

[forest iron]

should i become delulu about decisions after reading this though?

or still live with my 0 confidence

how true could this even be btw?

[swift locust]

live w ur low confidence and let ur jaw drop on 3/28!

[heady urchin]

Yeah I’m ngl I’m very attracted to the northeast rn bc I’m romanticizing snow 😭

[heady urchin]

Yeah I really like that about it

It seems like a balanced school

I just dk about the location

Oh well idt I’m getting in anywyas 😭

[dense forge]

damn

[swift locust]

for me it’s the architecture 😭

[heady urchin]

THE ARCHITECTURE IS EVERYTHING OMG

[forest iron]

you're so right

[heady urchin]

Yale’s >>>

[forest iron]

not gonna expect anything

[heady urchin]

Duke has nice architecture too though

[swift locust]

that’s true that’s true

[placid storm]

but wasnt there an option for duke to not do interviews

it truly was a sign and mattered wouldnt the interview be mandatory

[heady urchin]

WOAHHHH

About to become Rutgers ‘28 just for that

[uncut tapir]

I didn’t get one, I’m cooked

[swift locust]

No

[forest iron]

i highly doubt this post ngl

[signal cosmos]

u wont see the beauty at rutgers

this is near rockland ny

[heady urchin]

Oh

[heady urchin]

Me when I didn’t apply to ny colleges 💀

[past pelican]

[tough raptor]

[rough elm]

[dense forge]

don't mean anything besides the fact they may need more info on ur app

[plush oasis]

i got a request a few hours ago so dw cuz they're definitely still going through files right now and assigning more interviews

[timber ledge]

does being a robertson semifinalist like signiifcantly boost duke rd chances

[tough hemlock]

But if you are not then it's nothing negative.

[main aurora]

again, this is not true

[maiden bridge]

Love when people give misinfo 😂 😭

One of the 5 R’s I have

[heavy python]

no, people have been getting rejections and acceptances since the 12th according to reddit. weird but relieving to hear not all rejections are sent at the end and interview notifications sent in the beginning.

[heavy python]

nah ^

good luck to you guys! hoping for the best 🙏🏿

[sullen ravine]

Ahhhhhh interesting. Hoping for the best I guess!

[past pelican]

It was the best speaking I have ever done in my life

[past pelican]

What time do yall think

[past pelican]

You too! Todays our day 😄

[main aurora]

They said they’re still finalizing decisions

[past pelican]

Omg it’s the last dayyyy

[past pelican]

Anyone heard?

[acoustic pendant]

nope

[acoustic pendant]

procrastination goes crazy

[main aurora]

I’ve heard nothing from them

[ripe briar]

I'm convinced we not getting anything back today 💀

[warped gale]

i'm curious does anyone have a note under their transcript item on the checklist which says how long you attended your high school?

also does anyone have an idoc item on their financial aid checklist yet? i got the request like 7 days ago and they said it takes 3-5 days to update but it doesn't show anything

[maiden bridge]

You might get it at like 4pm their time

Like same time decisions would drop

[maiden bridge]

Yes

[warped gale]

okii

[halcyon wharf]

everyone has rhat

[ivory flame]

they requested my idoc last week too and it doesn’t say for me

[open tendon]

Dookie

😋

[past pelican]

BRUHHHHH

[past pelican]

Ok it’s 4.

[pale bane]

LMAOOO

[past pelican]

Bro

I actually threw up

I cannot take this

This is my one shot of going to a top 20

[heavy python]

i have a full ride to an institution with a 90+% rate and i got into uchicago but it’s 90k so… atp if i don’t get this then it is what it is 😭

i wanna go to med school so i will not be taking a lot of undergrad debt

they needa hurry up

[vocal umbra]

yea pre med lowk the best option is taking the cheapest option

[past pelican]

Same here

[past pelican]

Yeah u need good enough to get into med school but cheap enough to not be in crippling debt

[signal cosmos]

uchcisgo massive grade deflation and gpa important for MD schools

[past pelican]

I’m too rich to get aid and too poor to afford full priced college

[past pelican]

Congrats on getting into Uchicago tho!

What’s ur major?

[main aurora]

you should look for easier schools to get into that give full rides

not relying on scholarships like the robertson

[graceful monolith]

Hey guys, still nobody got anything from Robertson?

[past pelican]

I got into UNC honors college which is in state and if I have enough from local scholarships I should be okay

But schools like northwestern/Duke are impossible to pay for without big scholarships

I got a full ride to Alabama but my parents wouldn’t let me go

[vocal umbra]

yea smtg thats reasonably affordable ig

merit scholarships are very hard to get tho

[past pelican]

It’s just annoying because I can get into the sub 10% schools but can’t pay for them

Like I got into northeastern but I could never pay

[main aurora]

you should spam scholarships

National scholarships local scholarships

[vocal umbra]

UNC prolly better anyways

[main aurora]

Like spam

And look for t20’s with merit like uchi and vandy

[past pelican]

Yes I am

[past pelican]

Def

[main aurora]

Yeah don’t worry

Unc is amazing

[vocal umbra]

ye ong

what RDs do u have btw

[past pelican]

Emory, Penn, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Duke, Hopkins, Tulane, and Clemson

Pretty sure that’s all

Ooo and GT

Did y’all apply for Robertson like the day it was due?

[vocal umbra]

dayum

[past pelican]

Yas so many

[left leaf]

hey for the robertson scholarship does anyone know when finalist interviews are and if they're in person?

[tough raptor]

Safetys fr

[past pelican]

LOLL

[past pelican]

I’ve gotten into UNC, NC state, Alabama and northeastern so everything now is just a reach

[heavy python]

yeah 😭 can’t consider a school that is so expensive anyways

[heavy python]

so real, like i haven’t tried applying for aid yet but i will but my dads a doctor, he still has his own loans tho 💀

[heavy python]

chemistry major, medical sociology minor wbu

[past pelican]

Damn bruh

[past pelican]

BME and math minor

[past pelican]

Pre med tho

[heavy python]

valid

[past pelican]

Did u get news yet

[heavy python]

nope wbu 🫤

[tough raptor]

You already got into two reaches

everything is safe now

[past pelican]

Eh

Unc honors was target

My school has about 60 a year get in and I’m valedictorian and legacy so

[tough raptor]

Still hard to get into UNC

• you got northeastern

which is super hard these days

[past pelican]

Yay

I want northwestern so bad

Then Duke

Eh

Or both equally

[tough raptor]

I'm just hoping for MIT/CMU at this point

[past pelican]

I feel like you will get CMU with Duke likely

Bruh it didn’t come out at 6

[tough raptor]

We'll see

[past pelican]

Did u apply to Robertson

[tough raptor]

No, Duke is already free to me

[past pelican]

Weird

[plucky onyx]

Hi Duke besties

I just got an interview request and I need your help

I honestly didn't expect this because I'm international and I applied like an hour before the deadline (way after interview priority)

So please send your advice 😓

[swift locust]

just like any other interview! know “why Duke,” think of questions to ask, and know yourself

[uncut tapir]

So its not Dukover yet

[past pelican]

I still haven't got my email

[plucky onyx]

Thank you for this !! Let's hope I do well and maybe also get in

[plucky onyx]

I can assure you it's not !!

[tough raptor]

It is always dukeover

[open tendon]

Dookie

[past pelican]

I am losing it

Can someone contact Robertson

[heavy python]

[graceful horizon]

wasn't expecting this at all. It will b my 1st interview experience so really nervous.😭

[uncut tapir]

nice!

Mine is coming soooon

Dookiie

[graceful horizon]

They give out interviews to applicants they need more info from rt? They recently changed their policy. Let's smash this!

[uncut tapir]

is it in person?

[graceful horizon]

Nope...virtual
It cant b in person cuz no alumini here in my country

Thts why i didnt expect it

[uncut tapir]

ahh I see

[graceful horizon]

Think its a good sign...since i also need full aid..hoping for the best

[uncut tapir]

same situation as you but still waiting for the intvs

[graceful horizon]

Same...harvard deferred n uchicago ed2 rejected

[uncut tapir]

Good luck!

[graceful horizon]

Thank you!! U too!

Mine is on either sat or sunday

Sorry...i read "intvs" as "ivies"

So i thought u got urs already😭
U'll get one soon!

[long pilot]

https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2024/02/duke-university-undergraduate-admissions-changes-numerical-rating-standardized-testing-essays-covid-test-optional-ai-generated-college-consultants

[wide rose]

tf

i see the purpose tho

but i feel like its def gonna lead to a lower acceptance rate cause the overall scoring might be a little more less cause its gonna be more weighted on other aspects

[long pilot]

Yeah it's going to be really interesting. I wonder if even though those won't have scores, how they're incorportated into admissions discussions will still matter.

[past pelican]

Yay huzzah

[viscid gale]

Also they’re doing the same for standardized test scores now too

I can understand how they still use essays as a qualitative metric but idk how you qualitatively analyze scores

[jade estuary]

context

"is 1450 a good score?" is an objective question. "my school's average is a 900, i had to travel an hour to write my test, i couldn't afford test prep resources and only used free college board and khan academy ones. is 1450 a good score?" is a subjective question

[viscid gale]

Ah I see

[halcyon wharf]

YAYYY

I GOT AN INTERVIEW

[jade estuary]

slay!

[halcyon wharf]

he works at a winery

oooo

i ead so scared i wasnt gonna get one i submitted 7 days late

[waxen dragon]

How tf do i still not have one

💀

[jade estuary]

damn

[maiden bridge]

autoadmit

[waxen dragon]

Oh nahh bros reformed

Ig im the last og hater

Time to carry on the legacy

[maiden bridge]

ew i dont like this

[waxen dragon]

Lmfaooo

Too bad padawan

[halcyon wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-jumping-cat-excited-excited-dance-gif-19354605

i thoucht i was auto reject

im sooooo happy

[warped gale]

what happened to titxn

[waxen dragon]

I put him on

He joined bc of me

[dense forge]

[dense forge]

oh that makes a lot of sense

[halcyon wharf]

THANK U

im so excited

imma schedule it for the 22nd

UR NEXT

[dense forge]

you kom and titxn are pretty close right?

[halcyon wharf]

WHAT

youre cracked

[waxen dragon]

I havent talked to either in months

[halcyon wharf]

wtf ive never heardbof that

[waxen dragon]

Kom left the server

Titxn stopped talking to me

Bro switched up fr

[dense forge]

kom was actually banned lmao

[waxen dragon]

Oh

[dense forge]

i anticipate he'll be back soon but no guarantees

[maiden bridge]

it's all the hate in ur heart

[waxen dragon]

W

[halcyon wharf]

thats still super cool

[dense forge]

did titxn dip?

[halcyon wharf]

💀💀💀💀

LOL

[waxen dragon]

Yes

[dense forge]

why

when

[empty echo]

what do u mean? unc honors has a 1 percent acceptance rate

[past pelican]

Well usually like 6-10 kids from my school get it

[empty echo]

its still a lottery tho

idt unc has a set quota of kids to accept (esp for honors) for any school

so no, its not a target

[jade estuary]

what why

[jade estuary]

bro have you seen rishab jain's video where he says duke is a target lmfao

people consider nyu usc as targets 💀

[empty echo]

i saw his video a while ago

bro applied to bu as his safety

[jade estuary]

FR

AND GOT TRUSTEE

[empty echo]

i mean tbf he got into harvard ea

[jade estuary]

LIKE PLS IF YOU'RE NOT GOING GIVE IT TO ME

[empty echo]

so he could go crazy with his list

[jade estuary]

yeah, if he didnt get in only applying to reaches is ass

rea'ing 1 top college, getting in, and shotgunning reaches is a good strat to make people believe you're like insane insane

[empty echo]

agreed its a terrible plan

[jade estuary]

but also idk whether i'd choose harvard over bu trustee

a full scholarship is no joke

unless he got great fin aid

[empty echo]

yeah if i got into usc ea i would've shotgunned rd

lol

[past pelican]

Ok sorry

[jade estuary]

girl usc ea was after rd deadline tho

[empty echo]

he seems loaded so idt he cared

[jade estuary]

i did mostly safeties and targets ea, got in to most, so did only reaches rd

[empty echo]

lmao i forgot💀

[jade estuary]

i like my strat

because my essays also improved from ea to rd

so for my top reaches i put my best foot forward

[empty echo]

dont apologize

[jade estuary]

(i didnt plan it tho, it just happened that most of my rds had only ed and i couldn't ed 💀 )

[jade estuary]

360k harvard vs 80k bu plus he actually liked bu

[empty echo]

bro hes spending 360k???

what?????

he rich rich💀

[jade estuary]

oh idk about that

i thought you meant he's rich when you said he's loaded

[empty echo]

im sure he had amazing outside scholarships

[jade estuary]

ah yeah valid

[empty echo]

i think he was a coke scholar

[empty echo]

i did

[jade estuary]

imma be the next rishabh jain fr

watch me get into all my rds

(tbh i dont even think ill get into 1 lmao)

maybe nyu

[placid badge]

He's a TOP STUDENT

Anyone looking at his profile knows that

[jade estuary]

where do you find his profile

[placid badge]

once you've hit that level of pinnacle achievements i think those colleges become targets

He's connected with me on linkedIN

[jade estuary]

also

no top college is a target

you could be the best person in the world and still get rejected because it's subjective and its all about your story

[placid badge]

I mean for him...

[jade estuary]

he got in because of his achievements, yes, but also because of his ability to tell his story convincingly

[placid badge]

Ofcourse

[jade estuary]

someone with those same achievements but who either is a douchebag or who can't write for shit wouldn't have gotten in

[placid badge]

Still would have gotten into a very good school

[dense forge]

excessive amounts of off topic conversations in channels like application questions and refusing to move to lounge

[jade estuary]

ahhhhhhh

junior moment

[jade estuary]

yeah but its still not a target

[placid badge]

Well, you have more experience so you know better

[jade estuary]

wdym 😭

im literally a hs senior LOL

[empty echo]

aw

i liked kom

[placid badge]

Still i know you have more in-depth knowledge about the process

[empty echo]

you're a senior no?

[placid badge]

Yup

[jade estuary]

valid

i spend too much time researching us college admissions

[jade estuary]

also sorry if this is stupid but how can you come back after ban? appeal?

how likely are you to get in after appeal

lmao i feel like im asking questions about a college

[dense forge]

yes

[dense forge]

dont have an official acceptance rate but ill tell u its def unlikely

our ban decisions tend to be final for the most part

generally depends on the offenses and the span of time those offenses were accumulated

[jade estuary]

ah yeah fair

[dense forge]

ngl our appeals def have hooks tho tbh, we tend to have more favorable opinions towards people banned as underclassmen who are back here as jr/sr and active seniors/college students who would benefit from being here for decision day

[jade estuary]

oh

[dense forge]

this is completely subjective though and ultimately everything depends on the app and personality of the person tho lol

[jade estuary]

thats valid

LOL again sounds like a college AO

a2c mod to AO pipeline?

[heady urchin]

It’s eleven and I just woke up 💀

[heady urchin]

Not in the cards for me

[dense forge]

i honestly would

if the benefits were good enough

[jade estuary]

het at least you had a good nights sleep?

[jade estuary]

why not

being an AO is fun

not permanently but maybe for a couple of years

[jade estuary]

you get to decide kids futures

greatest benefit of all time

[dense forge]

the pipeline is real fs

[heady urchin]

Need to start setting alarms 😭

[heady urchin]

I think it would get boring real fast

As in after a few weeks

[dense forge]

id get tired of all the mission trip and the helping less fortunate people essays very fast

like that'd be an insta reject for me

[heady urchin]

Valid

[empty echo]

what do you do if people make alts?

[dense forge]

uhh thats just like an unappealable ban

unless they tell us they made an alt and wanna switch accounts

[empty echo]

no like if someone got banned and then made an alt to re-join the server

[dense forge]

then they're banned lmao

[jade estuary]

damnnnn mit is v cool

[dense forge]

and their ban is unappealable

[empty echo]

but how would u know lol

[dense forge]

we have our ways

its not really that hard

[jade estuary]

yeah i mean i know uc's hires readers so you could just do for one app cycle for the experience ✨ yk

[dense forge]

some of the mods are really good at finding alts

[jade estuary]

bro my dad just turns off all my alarms

"you need your sleep" broski i need to study 💀

[dense forge]

even if someone takes on an entirely different identity they tend to have the same text patterns

[jade estuary]

damn yall detectives

[dense forge]

its really not that hard

[empty echo]

tubba got banned right

[dense forge]

sadly yes

[jade estuary]

wait wtf why

there should be a ban log or something i have no idea who's banned

to think about it tho yall mods prolly have it

[heady urchin]

If I’m taking a gap year maybe but I feel like I’d get numb to a lot of emotions

[heady urchin]

Lolll

[heady urchin]

That’s what my mom saud 😭

[jade estuary]

valid

[warm fjord]

We have private logs yes

[heady urchin]

It would be hard though bc i know what they would go through

[jade estuary]

yeah i feel like if i'm taking a gap between bachelors and law school it might be cool

because like

idk i love raeding essays and its been so cool discovering what everybody does here on a2c

[heady urchin]

I think im going to do that to gain more experience in whatever field I go into

[jade estuary]

mm for me im doing bachelors journalism but i wanna go to law school

but i also really wanna work as a journalist

so i figured bachelors-> 3-4 years work -> law school -> lawyer

[warm fjord]

Have you ever met a happy lawyer

[dense kernel]

yes!

[jade estuary]

ok but lawyers make money

[warm fjord]

Saul Goodman doesn’t count

[jade estuary]

my dream is to work in academia

but alas money

[dense kernel]

my family friend who’s a lawyer is happy

[jade estuary]

thats nice

[warm fjord]

My dad is very unhappy

[jade estuary]

depends on type of law

[warm fjord]

He’s done law for 30 years

[jade estuary]

what law do they practice

[dense kernel]

my dad’s lawyer seems satisfied

[empty echo]

fr!

[dense kernel]

he seems jovial

[dense forge]

its not public bc its not really anyones business besides ours and theres tbh

[warm fjord]

They’re not made public bc as we saw as recently as last night certain people would be happy to harass mods for banning their friends

[dense forge]

that too

[empty echo]

that's low.

[dense forge]

i thought it was common knowledge tubba was banned

[jade estuary]

wtf im so sorry that happened

[empty echo]

no i honestly thought he took a break

[jade estuary]

what kind of law?

i wanna go into copyright law

or patent

[dense forge]

that guy was 100% an alt

did we ever ban him

[warm fjord]

Yeah

[empty echo]

it's true tho

[dense kernel]

uh corporate law

[main aurora]

He seems rich doubt he did 😂

[dense kernel]

he does everything

[dense forge]

thats what appeals are for

[dense kernel]

like contract mostly

[jade estuary]

damn

[heady urchin]

SUITS

[jade estuary]

happy in corporate is interesting

[dense forge]

if a mod makes a mistake that the mod team agrees on was a mistake they'll be appealed

[jade estuary]

how to get away with murder incited my interest in law

[dense kernel]

he runs his own practice and has like 5 clients

[jade estuary]

suits developed it

law school will crush it

[warm fjord]

“Happy in corporate”
“Jumbo shrimp”

[dense forge]

bans are kinda a team thing not just an individual thing

[heady urchin]

Real asf I never finished this show though it got boring

Suits was a ten though

[jade estuary]

i saw 2 seasons but then school got too demanding

also wtf its 1 am i need to sleep night yall

[dense forge]

night

[dense kernel]

wwtch the good wife

[jade estuary]

well its morning for most of you but whatever
