Duke University (2023-2024)

[forest iron]

only 3 of the 26 do interviews and one waived it lol

[leaden quiver]

Me after Yale rejected me (I didn't want them anyways 🙄🥲)

[vocal wolf]

Fr

At least I’m getting a full ride

[forest iron]

smrithi you're good 😭

[vocal wolf]

Bros him Wtf, teach me your ways

I wrote like prolly around 50 essays during college app season

[jade estuary]

no this was what i thought at first so I was like ok but people in my city/school have gotten interviews for schools i applied to

[vocal wolf]

Cal Berkeley was my dream school…

[gaunt delta]

wayy too many

[jade estuary]

berkeley sent out like 1% of acceptances in Feb!

[vocal wolf]

I wish I received one too like you

[jade estuary]

stanford

[vocal wolf]

You’re so smart, teach me your ways

:(

[jade estuary]

her* 😔

Essays 80 words i think 50k?

brb I'll check

[vocal wolf]

Sorry, bros her

[vocal wolf]

I aspire to be like you

Instead I have to move to NJ for college :/

[jade estuary]

rip not quite there yet

[jade estuary]

nah just a good writer

[jade estuary]

(my 14 ps drafts aren't included in this)

[vocal wolf]

You’ll prolly get into stanford

[jade estuary]

I'll trade you for pton full ride

[vocal wolf]

Stanford only gave me 1 essay (roommate prompt) to write and I was ass at it

[jade estuary]

Did you withdraw uc's after qb?

[vocal wolf]

Ngl im deadass thinking of transferring if I don’t like it

[vocal wolf]

Ye I withdrew everything

[jade estuary]

hopefully, it's currently my dream

[jade estuary]

how do you know if you'll like it if you haven't even gone yet

[vocal wolf]

Can’t even get a decision back from Berkeley…maybe that was the better move

[jade estuary]

oh cuz qb

[vocal wolf]

For what? Berkeley or Princeton

[vocal wolf]

Ye

[vocal wolf]

Berkeley and Stanford were my dream schools

[jade estuary]

Oh you said if you don't like it sorry i misread

[vocal wolf]

Ye lol

[jade estuary]

Ngl i didn't ed2 to uchicago bcuz i didn't wanna withdraw my other apps 💀

[jade estuary]

it's ok Princeton 🔛 🔝

[vocal wolf]

😭

[vocal wolf]

Bro I applied as a joke too, I only ranked Stanford and ivies + cal tech

I didn’t even rank Dartmouth even tho it’s an ivy 😭

[jade estuary]

WHY WOULD YOU DO A BINDING MATCH AS A JOKE😭

26

[vocal wolf]

Cause I obviously wouldn’t get into an ivy duh

Or at least that’s what I thought^

[vocal wolf]

Most tragic part was that I had to submit CSU and UC apps on Nov. 30th, but qb released decisions on Dec 1st, so I wasted like hella money for nothing LOL

Prolly

[signal cosmos]

which

[jade estuary]

nah bro you wouldn't have applied if you didn't have a little bit oh hope

[vocal wolf]

I didn’t is the thing

[jade estuary]

uh yeah but in the draft doc I just shorten it like "stanford iv" or "why USC"

[vocal wolf]

I thought I would go to a small state school like SJSU for college

LOL

[jade estuary]

yeah oats said the same thing lol

[jade estuary]

bro ended up at the best university in the world 😭

[vocal wolf]

But his isn’t binding

Lucky as hell

[jade estuary]

country

[jade estuary]

yeah he lucked put

[vocal wolf]

Ye

[jade estuary]

all my essays long af 💀

[vocal wolf]

Blessed

[jade estuary]

the word count is from my drafts doc

not the final one

And my drafts are always double the wc minimum

the polished final one is 28k

my longest was uchicago at 1000 and 700, and georgetown at 700

oh and a 1400 ps 💀

FR

[graceful horizon]

As an intl...i applied to 20 colleges. It could be bec other schs couldnt really arrange it but Duke is my one and only interview.

Myanmar

N i need full aid...so it culd b 20 rejections

Duke gave me hope by sending out an intv invite

[jade estuary]

No i live in India

Im too lazy to explain the situation sorry😭

[waxen dragon]

My humble goat as usual 🙏🙏

[graceful horizon]

Btw they did say 12k number could change tho.

So 29th is the interview report deadline.

It's going to be decision month. Best of luck to u all!!

[mossy sedge]

Hello when does duke come out

[vocal wolf]

😭

[graceful horizon]

Probably on or around march 28th

Which is ivy day

[pale bane]

my interview is actually tomorrow so 😭

[elder salmon]

Anyone hear back from Duke Robertson for finalist?

[halcyon wharf]

wdym

[ivory flame]

oh did you get the idoc request?

[cobalt condor]

he’s not going to usc??

[vocal wolf]

You’re so right

[cobalt condor]

there’s only one number 1 university in the world

[past pelican]

Duke accidentally got my test scores

It's over for me!

[long pilot]

Oh noo, I don't know what they would do in that situation if you initially applied as test-optional though. Regardless it won't be the end of the world.

[past pelican]

I did initially apply test optional

It's somehow mixed up in my portal and they said they can't change it

[leaden quiver]

help i didnt realize duke had an optional 90 sec vid 😭 is it joever

[swift locust]

nah I bet v few did that

[leaden quiver]

yeah it was burrowed so deeply into an email for what 😭

[long pilot]

Ohh, that's so weird. That shouldn't make or break you though

[lean hatch]

if it offers consolation, i don't know anyone who was aware of the video before the deadline

[tough raptor]

you'll be fine

like almost nobody does it

I didn't

actually maybe people do

I don't know

don't base your application decisions off me

[silk frost]

I was

Still didn't do it

[dense forge]

how have i never heard of this wtf 😭

[leaden quiver]

naw i am so pissed now bc they know what they were doing by making it hard to find 😭

[swift needle]

same lol i just dont think its worth

like if they put more emphasis on it like brown does or they didnt do interviews id probably do it but it just seems a little redundant

[dense hinge]

are duke interviews important ?

[maiden bridge]

Also don’t you have to pay to submit that video

[vocal wolf]

Nah

[maiden bridge]

Crazy edit

Your true feelings showed

[vocal wolf]

You caught me!! It’s not like g and h are right next to each other

[swift needle]

they matter but like theyre not a huge decision maker

[steady fern]

Duke has a video??

Ofc I didn’t do it bruh

[quartz adder]

its okay it shouldnt matter mucch

its the first year theyve offered it

[tough raptor]

Should I do it

Just for fun

[warped gale]

bro already got in

[tough raptor]

I'm just so bored waiting for decisions

[lean hatch]

the deadline is past

[gaunt delta]

damn, it might have lowk helped if u did it then cuz it’s new 😭

i would have done if i saw it 😔

[quartz adder]

the only person i know who did it didn’t get in

so idk how big of a help it was

[jade estuary]

💀

[vapid urchin]

Duuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkeeeeeee I love you

[true mica]

any duke likelies lately?

I only heard of one early Feb

[split hare]

There's one person active here that got one

Not sure if you're talking about them

[true mica]

yea I’m confused I did some surfing online and don’t duke likelies come out early March?

[swift locust]

that guy was a special case I think

more will come out later

[split hare]

The dude that got one had a rlly unique app or something

And they were from NC

[true mica]

these colleges just do whatever lmao

[split hare]

Real

[swift needle]

what kind of applicant gets a likely? like just anyone theyve already decided on?

[mystic finch]

someone vewwy smawht

[swift needle]

so true

[maiden bridge]

likelies can be for students colleges think might get multiple competitive acceptances

that way the college gets a leg up/head up in that applicant's heart

[tough raptor]

There is one other guy in here

who got one

a week after me

idk his tag

[swift needle]

ohh ok

[tough raptor]

I'm the first likely guy; I'm not entirely sure why I got one, but I have a perfect SAT score and a really weird application. Also, Duke is in my hometown, and both I and my very small school have a lot of connections to it

[placid storm]

nerds

im kidding

[tough raptor]

No one from my school has ever been rejected from duke, but we've also never had someone get a likely before me

[placid storm]

damn. are u the one with a class size of 20 or am i tripping

[tough raptor]

My graduating class size is 7

[placid storm]

ok so u are. wait what school is this. do all 7 like do the same classes and such

my class size is x111 yours

[tough raptor]

We aren't separated by graduating year

I'm not going to say what school I go to due to its small size

[placid storm]

damn that is incredibly small

[tough raptor]

but it is near duke and is a school for twice exceptional (top performing kids with learning disabilities) and at risk youth (homelessness, substance abuse, etc)

[placid storm]

i feel like i remember talking with someone also who said their school has no gpa

[tough raptor]

That was also me

[placid storm]

oh dang.

[placid storm]

no no. i think it was last year idk who

like it stretches back in last year march

[tough raptor]

maybe it wasn't me

there is a current student and an alum from my school in here

[placid storm]

honestly tho congrats. i think u said u were planning to transfer out of duke right for olin

[placid storm]

maybe i talked to them idk

[tough raptor]

I'm going to try

we'll see

[placid storm]

u got this

ngl it sounds crazy to hear someone say they are trying to transfer out of duke lol

[tough raptor]

we did talk about my school before

#1135690565137211453 message

[placid storm]

ya i remember u talking abt it, but still

[tough raptor]

I mean good chance it'll rope me in and I'll fall in love

so we'll see

[placid storm]

dedicated olin fan

[tough raptor]

I had my heart set on Olin, and I really want to get out of NC

[placid storm]

ah ic.

[tough raptor]

I couldn't be more grateful for Dukes offer though

[placid storm]

ya i too would be thrilled. nonetheless again thats honestly a great achievement getting into duke with a likely as well

[old bolt]

!duke

[true mica]

So duke randomly sent a few likelies early?

but when do they usually come out

[tough raptor]

They come out in waves

starting in early feb

[wanton dirge]

when do duke kunshan interviews come out?

anyone got one?

[rare bluff]

Nope still waiting

Someone said they come in March idk how long still

[elder salmon]

Anyone hear for Robertson finalist?

[swift locust]

some have!

[elder salmon]

Are you looking at the same reddit and cc thread as me lol

[dense kernel]

No we know someone who got it

[swift locust]

@native willow the goat 🙌

[swift needle]

congrats!!

[shut turret]

got unc finalist

was hoping for duke rip

[elder salmon]

Did you first pref Duke?

[shut turret]

i think so yeah

[main aurora]

congrats!!!

unc is great too

[elder salmon]

What is taking them so long to release the rest of the Robertson results… they literally said they’d all come out at the same time

[native willow]

same UNC here 👋

my cousin got duke and my friend got rejected so most have come out

[native willow]

weird that u havent

[rocky granite]

U got everything bro

[shut turret]

dang duke robertson is crazy

[elder salmon]

Did you get an email or is it in the portal or something?

[shut turret]

yeah theyre supposed to release at the same time

email

check your spam

[elder salmon]

Did check lol, not there

[shut turret]

ik ppl that have gotten rejected and accepted so

[native willow]

all email, check spam i had a friend that got it in spam

[shut turret]

do uk how many finalists there are

[elder salmon]

Yeah definitely haven’t gotten anything

[shut turret]

weird

[native willow]

about 80

historically its about that, and 18 win from each school

[native willow]

yea imo my app was very finance related so UNC is obvi the better fit, but i wouldve preferred duke 💀

already grateful though 😄

[shut turret]

mine was engineering and unc doesn't even have that 😭

was the preference in the original application

[native willow]

yea

i said duke 1st choice but i got UNC

[shut turret]

it was like a tick box right

yeah same i think i clicked duke

[native willow]

just happy to be a finalist tbh 💀

[shut turret]

same but at the same time i feel bad that im disappointed

[native willow]

sameeee

i just see it as a good sign for RD maybe??

[shut turret]

hopefully

is there any correlation between semi and duke

the lady had a duke.edu email

[native willow]

which lady

[shut turret]

would u take duke over robertson unc

the one that emailed the decisions

and manages the whole thing

[native willow]

i may be greedy but im hoping for something with a better finance core than duke

[shut turret]

LOL

valid

upenn mnt

[native willow]

kay frances brody?

i think she handles everything

[shut turret]

yeah

surely that has to be a good sign right

[native willow]

[dense kernel]

[maiden bridge]

[native willow]

[native willow]

from stanford research

[maiden bridge]

[native willow]

u cant win

[vapid echo]

bro also unc full ride is goated as well like id take that over any other school

u should be proud

[native willow]

i have a friend who has a friend who got robertson for duke but didnt get into duke

[cerulean socket]

well some ppl dont need that financial assistance as much and would rather go to a hypsm

[native willow]

so disqualified

[dense kernel]

stanford to SOCAL?

[shut turret]

wtf

[cerulean socket]

i think stanford would be better tbh

[signal cosmos]

annika regen 😟

[vapid echo]

take that money, invest it and boom even mroe money

[proud flower]

between stanford for 300k and duke for free i’d rake duke

[cerulean socket]

if ur going into startup space going to stanford itself is a huge investment

[native willow]

around, its about 90 minutes

[shut turret]

for duke yeah but unc idk

[dense kernel]

ahhh

[cerulean socket]

nah

[dense kernel]

i wouldnt do UNC full ride over many schools

[native willow]

same

[cerulean socket]

i thought this program gives a duke degree

[native willow]

yea

[cerulean socket]

it doesnt

😔

[native willow]

no u do im p sure

[main aurora]

Check spam

[shut turret]

i actually got shafted idek why i got put into unc pool

[cerulean socket]

didnt u say the bs is unc

[proud flower]

h can

[native willow]

its just that u only visit the other campus for 1 semester

but u can take courses there and have lots of priveledges

[cerulean socket]

what does it say on ur certificate

[signal cosmos]

the insta acc goes crazy

[proud flower]

u can take the requirements for a major at duke so it’ll be on ur resume “bs in whatever, concentration on whatever at duke” but the actual degree is from unc

[native willow]

^^^^

this is the dream

[proud flower]

at the end of the day unc is still a state school and just isn’t on the same level as stanny or duke

[shut turret]

stanford accepts like no one tho

[cerulean socket]

id take stanny over anything anyday please

[native willow]

if i dont get into any rd, ill prob just do uchicago or ut

[cerulean socket]

oh u got in ea?

[native willow]

[cerulean socket]
