u can def make 700k+ with bonuses if you're cracked
just gotta have actual skill
ur bonus can be like up to 100-200% of ur acc salary
I’m working at a HF
which is why the hours are worth it
for many its a pipe dream
u can also mess it up
realistically u need like usamo level math
if ur bad
or be v good at cs + math
im probably not built for quant tbh
i feel like
schools like ncsmm or bronxsci that pump out stem students
prob r best suited for quant
they prob have done some qquant problems
liek applied physics
to financial mdoels
ik plenty of ppl that would be much better at quant than me lmao
and many of them got into mit already lol
fr
caltech
nah at our highshool
wdym
u and vela go to same hs?
cus u said at our hs
so i thought u were implying
that u and vela know each other
rd alr came out??
no
stfu @viscid python
bros gon sweep
nope
and no one knows
fr?
uchicago, cornell
mit
cornell?!
princeton
both of you guys
harvard, yale
if u knew the hs ud understand
O.o
😍
lol pls no doxx
i wont
tbf anyone that knows me irl will know me from my disc username
koala
@viscid python trying to be incognito i think
oh yeah
ofc
thoughts on him
lmao
mans completed college apps
no comments in public forums
don't really know him that well so probably can't say anyway
yea most of what ik is second hand info
mm i see
fat
space is 100% all @viscid python
yeah
my 13th reason
except better
jk
ngl thats what i thought
at first
huh
idk
i thought vela was the only kid that had a theme/spike in space
but then 1 of the 2 ppl that got yale likely they were also v space based
i will figure out how much in school competition matters
depending on what happens
depends on the school tbh
like uni
dc i think
but that was mostly sts
theres a lot of space ppl
lots of aerospace people
aerospace is for nerds ngl can't relate
i specialize in hotel management
fr
mr cs and aero guy
who
does anyone apply to cornell nolan
is that the hotel school
ik someone who did
yea
ohh him
i think so
lol
who tf is @signal cosmos bro knows everything
i thought he was joking
idts?
uh
I got rejected uva
uva is like 95% gpa tho
4.45ish
@signal cosmos ur off on that so idt youre thinking of same person
for u guys
oh
yeah i might have confused
w someone else
anyways the downfall is happening
@viscid python have u been stalking my a2c interactions lol
alt is crazy
nah just like back since u said u got unc robertson finalist
ah
uhm well tmr is gonna be awks
maybe I should have picked a more inconspicuous username
😅
wbu for me lol
bro i don't stalk this i just pu when im bored
u have to start writing
i've sent over 3k messages here
mostly when stuff comes out
for the secret
wtf
actually obsessed
bro slipped
LMAO
wait i didnt see lmao
almost caught a straw
@viscid python who is this @signal cosmos character
"connections demon"
tf is that supposed to mean
i j know everyone
what
nah he hasnt done anything
me??
@swift locust its crazy how this year hsd feeds to t20s
pipeline is lowk crazy
senate page + ussyp + coolidge + hsd + congressional internship feeds
lol but not coke scholars, we all got wiped after semis

yeah i thought some hsd would crack regionals
did
ohh
idk what data she’s directing (love her tho)
lmaooo
cant hate the women
im j curious if she'll sellout to finnace
no way she continues her policy shit
whats hsd
ur sister will be cracked by the time she’s a senior then
high school democrats of America
oh
shouldve done these lol
fs
im training her rn
cant have her fumble
idgaf abt college apps
till like last year
and by then most of these were alr due
i dont regret it tho
fr and i threw so hard lmao
who's anika
oh wait
ik her
they’re the type of “star shaped” ppl that bca was talking about
i flopped hard tbh
star shaped ❓
lots of spikes
ahh
dude i had that too
yeah but they all have an intersectionality
depressing to think about
brian is crazy
he's jsut a grinder yeah
literally just stick x field policy and u have an intersection 😭
man will do anything for college apps tho
rightt
policy is easy to connect ur interests
and pursue them at a high enough level
social impact
harvard will suck off those stem x policy kids
like crazy
completed college apps fr
LOL
do u have calc rn tho
she's me if i wasnt lazy fr
senior yr
she still decides to raise like 20k for nhs 😭
even tho thats prob not one of her ecs
yea lmao
ohhhh
yea so im j doing stats as well to show addtl rigor
she prolly thinks abt apps 24/7
for last 4+ years
lwk if u just sweated during pandemic
snowball wouldve carried u that far
you too!
it doesnt even matter that much tho
your cracked for wbb
exasctly
outcomes for u and mean harvard grad postcollege will be like the same
she just doesn’t need to pursue them all deeply
fs
its like them broadcom mfs
who did sci fair in 7th grade
yuh
most ivy grads just become mediocre anyways
working in finance or smt
r yall ed peeps or rd?
im ngl when you get into college these accolades are kinda just fluff
in the vacuum of high school
RD
ong
not us
not going to any ivy lmao
berk not ivy+
idts
ivy/ivy+ so dumb tho
like half the ivies are worse than
u’ll get stanford dw
some of the other schools
I’m against cameron impact winners and coke scholars bruh 😭
nah doesnt include caltech and other schools
idk some of the other schools r better than some ivies
makes no sense lol
CHASE HARTMAN LOL
if ivy+ means "peer of at least 1 ivy" then northwestern and jhu would count
😵💫
bruh cameron impact winners r insane
they always go so underrated
last year
4 of coke '23 were cameron
even getting finalist (75/3000) is crazy
cus they cap it off for ed/ed2
brown/darty 👎
debatable
nu imo is slightly better then jhu but its marginal
if jhu improves its humanities focus
then it can be t10 easily
shouldve applied
HE FOLLOWED ME ON IG
fr
if only you knew all this earlier
woulda sweeped
public figure
Who dat
6k followers
bro raised 200k
ik he has a trust fund
imma need the right one's @
idk tbh
he screams nepo
actually
considering he got robertson finalist and gmu finalist and hesiman + jefferson+ boys state scholly id say hes cracked
he knows the sauce on how to go to college for free
the fact that he started in 2017 makes him cracked
cant wait to meet him in april!
he didn’t get quarter finalist for elks (partially need based)
yeah everything else he mostly cooked
same 😊
nhs?
congrats see you at trailblazing week!
ENOUGH
🙄
commented that on 3 ppl’s posts😭
how does man have 6k insta followers
i have to say reluctantly he is cracked
his npo
yea y tho
college
bro needs a life
not that deep
yeah hes just another one of those mfs that started doing shit before hs
i hate that
same
real
yeah he gives nepo
no way bro knew he had to donate books in 6th grade
yuh there r always a few ppl like that each year
u didnt miss out on anything
This thread today was so good without kvd 🙂
are u commited to a school :0
Uiuc comp Eng I think
damn y'all yapped in here
i can't find the message but i would not commit if i got into stanford rip
you wouldn’t ??
😂
I think I’d have to think about it too
If I did get in
It’s far
Im in bros head at 1 am 😭
Thanks pookie
i’ve heard that hawk is just a weirdo
he is
money :(
Berkeley instate is cheaper than stanforf
we'll see tho maybe they clutch up
but I'd have to get in first
still a good school
Berkeley is #1 in the country for English history psychology sociology lol
true!! im v happy 🫶
berkeley for anything other than business and cs that makes money: ☹️☹️☹️
“hey guys i major in hist-“
“we have decided to move forward in the hiring process without you”
ok but that's not gonna change at any school
Might as well go to the best school for humanities
@cerulean socket not committed but i got in so i is officially a proud prefrosh <3
ohh oki
i'll change it back to senior so it doesn't cause confusion
i love the senior color too <3
yeah it's for people who commit but haven't started college yet
cyan >>
people who got in ed/rea or just committed early
ew
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
L take
cyan is pretty but nothing beats purple and shades
give me anything cyan/blue
purple is weird
i would like it if nu took me <3
we'll find out on march 27th if i like purple
nice
Bros him
Do people get in duke without interview
reagan came out 🫣
did u get 😎
yea 🎉
idk why im getting excited, no point in being finalist if im not winning any of these things 💀
nah its good atleast u moved on
i wish i knew abt ge reagan
ge reagan is more $ 😎
congrats on the other thing tooo
deleted bc i realized i almost doxxed myself, but its some random state award lol
it was a subject line 💀
hehe thanks!!!
thanks luck!! <3
ofc just remember these and not the coke, presidential, cameron, morehead, jefferson that i failed
1580 and 36 not enough
damn
also i thought u were jefferson finalist
did u get ge finalist
lol no
wonder how much got finalist
semi,
like 20 I think
some sections don’t count towards qualification
and 36 comp is enough for all states I’m pretty sure
I think science doesn’t count
varies based on state
she got semi. robbed
mine was not perf 36
perhaps thats why
and my sat was 790 790, yes idk how i didnt get a 800 math dont bully
Any likelies recently?
yas
me sitting here with 780 math 
Me sitting here with a 500 math 💀
i got 35 reading with 36 english, math & science and didn't make it
tips on usamo?
ik u missed it this year
but j curious
yeah i'm on fraud watch lol
nah u got it 2x
fraud alert
in ur hs career
yeah thats what i thought so
imagine not making usamo 3x
i'd presume you're passing advice to someone else
smh
uhh nah
oh
usamo L
imagine taking usamo
is that too late?
what grade
7th
plural?
not too late imo
twins?
wdym
i think like
oh okay
lmao
hawk is gonna help me create a profile for my sister too 🙂
aops books are overrated
the pre-algebra book?
honestly
thats the one im using rn
i just did practice test after practice test
ah i see
there's a lot of obvious theorems in play if you just look a little harder
i remember one of them was literally a reformatted theorem which i'd learned the week before
i started at maybe 80 on the amc 10, but worked my way up to 130 on old tests when i first made aime in 8th grade; i found alcumus helpful at that stage
afterward, i used aops mock contests to practice for amcs, high score was 145.5
aime is the same story basically
yeah
yeah
i see
by a lot
yeha
yeah
mop kids are a whole diff playing field
hawk can i friend
for funsies
mop -> imo requires much much more talent than anything before it
60->6 people 
did u guys do any camp
in middle school
nah
nah
only online awesomemath
i did [insert big math camp] tho <3
oh nice
oh
i went to one of {sumac, ross, mathcamp} last year
usa canda 
omg cool!
tbh the camp gave me impostor syndrome xD
yeah makes sense
bro fr i was so dumb compared to everyone else
everyone there knew more higher math than me it felt like
well knowing pure math is diff then comp math
but ig those programs r more pure math based
not sure abt usa/canada
and the few who don't are better at contest math than me LOL
i would've formatted my statement like this but i think i alr said i did promys somewhere else in this server LMAO
yeah
i sucked
end of 7th grade

yeah i didnt even make mathcounts states so the ftw practice never got applied
omg same!!! twins
nah some insane people start in elementary school 
starting around 4th/5th grade is much more common nowadays among the "serious" grinders (around my level?)
there are a few moppers who have around my timeline tho
Crazy
thats fucked
Whattttt
ikr i would genuinely be traumatized if i did comp math for 8 continuous years of my life
wild
kids in competitive areas in general
i no like comp </3
i like collaboration <3
samesies
5 years alr feels like forever
wow
ikr
all i remember from middle school before aops was eating rocks, man
I mean people start sometimes on aops beast academy in like 2nd or 3rd grade, and comps like continental math league start in 3rd grade
thats why i gave up this sem 
yeah same
WAIT WTF I DID THAT TOO
WHY ARE WE THE SAME PERSON
rocks are tasty 😋
NONO BUT ROCKS ARE SO YUM
pumping out imo kids
my friend moment
beast academy to burnout during middle school pipeline
and even before that some people just have an inclination toward math
it’s a passion
yeah
the realest burnout pipeline is gifted and talented
also depends on ur resources
most insane higher math kids i know have parents who r highly educated too (phd in stem type beat)
I feel like in an alternate universe I could have been decent at comp math
(Totally not cope)
sure but tbh i know some goofy people majoring in applied math
not to downplay ur dad
but i just had to share that info
idrk what "comp math genes" are tbh
iit 
iit is crazyy 😭
i would kms if i had to take the jee
in another universe i'd be grinding gaokao chinese or chem rn 😭 instead i'm rotting from senioritis
yeah I took one look at the JEE and was like wtf
our final physics exam was harder than jee 💀
i meant this as a joke guys im sorry. i seriously dont remember what my math score was. all ik it was close to 730ish
reading i think was like 500 or 600
Same gang
not even nation feeds interesting
None of us got it
Lmao
Not even one of the Emory finalists
damn
nation only good for t10s then ig
not complaining
duke rejected my css waiver request
is that a negative sign or completely unrelated to the admission?
Unrelated
i applied here but im expecting anything im an intl asking for aid 😭
They give waivers out randomly
ohh. also i asked them late-feb, so maybe that's why
What’s reager?
When does this come out
probably march 31
I LOVE HER.
do they always release in ivy day?
Day after usually
What’s reager?
what does it mean if u get a call from duke
from an admission officer? does it mean anything?
i got a call but i was busy cooking and i asked if i could call back later
likely?
Oh it may have been some really good news like a likely, but I think they send those via emails
good news lmao
90% of the time they call to let u know that ur a likely acceptance
not just emails tho
broo no way
bro was cookin when the call came in too thats gotta be fate
ong
bro cooked irl and figuratively 🔥
wait bro i recognize ur name from somewhere
papawill..............................................
can't remember
erm what the flip
no one in my school ever got into duke 💀
duke gets about like ~5 at my school a yer
No one in my country got in 💀
No one in my continent (Antarctica) got in 
Biggest sign to gtfo
Or… just try your best and be the first one
U got it @open tendon
what hapepend
yea @static harbor
Dw
No one has gone to duke either
😭
idk why most prefer UNC-CH over Duke
cheaper maybe?
Yea prolly
They are almost all full rides
my school tends to be very low income
few very well off kids, but most make <100k household
and at least half makes <60k household
definitely a trend with in state kids preferring UNC even with finaid
at least from those I've met
yeah ig duke might be a much more different environment yknow
like a more rich pretentious money opens doors environment
Yea one thing I noticed at Duke it’s def like a bubble within Durham
U can see the difference
And duke tends to skew rich
Like many private schools
Duke Dennis 
LMAO
how do you know its a duke AO btw
because i got a call from illinois chicago in like october and i never called them back (bcuz intl)
Did u call again?
Ooo matching pfp 
wait
hehehhehe
how reliable is crimson education? they said duke results march 19th predicted but tbh i feel like they just made a typo and it should be march 29
sorry if this is a stupid q 😭
prob a typo
alrrr
Wouldn’t really trust them
okk 👍🏻
Prolly not going to DKU anw but got an interview 👁️👄👁️
My luck w/ alternate campuses: 💹↗️📈
Oh they’re rolling out now?
Seems like those in asia are getting interview invites first
Imma wait to see
yeah I’m domestic us but I got my dku int 2 days ago
Technically I'm SEAsian intl but a lot of schools consider me w/ their US pool.
Since I study here
Ah
It’s just most invites I’ve seen are from yhose in Asia sorry
Asians wanna go to asian uni 😭😭😭
What did you expect 
I’m also Asian lol
My mom wants me to go there
Lol idk I have reservations ab alternative campuses
go where?
DKU
ah ic
i was wondering
if alt campus wants u
does it mean the main one doesn't?
lol
well study in China but I didn’t apply to Chinese schools
I only applied to nyush and dku
I’ve been on Chinese study abroad tiktok I regret not doing it
i got an interview but it was zoom and the guy was kinda boring
What did they ask?
definitely should
they aren't as good as main ones
i honestly cant even tell you
i remember talking alot abt my extra curriculars, and i asked him alot abt how duke prepared him for his career and his friends
Ah ok
Do they have access to our application?
Or no?
no
Anyone else done with DKU interview tell what they asked and how it went for them
!duke
they'll ask basic questions like why dku, why china and all
When
duke fluke
They havent told us yet
Usually tho duke releases after Ivy Day
Like Mar 31
Duke merit scholarships are announced in mid-may this year… after ppl enroll ☹️
i didnt even know duke did merit scholarships
That takes away from the purpose of them but oh well
Dukie pookie
😭
I thought it was gonna be mid march like last yr.
whattt
what abt urm recruitment weekends
like bsai and the latino one
"Your application to Duke University is the basis on which eligibility for merit scholarships is determined. If you are selected as a finalist for a merit scholarship, you will be notified via email from this office in early May. Finalists will then interview with scholarship selection committees and merit scholarships will be awarded no later than mid June."
Its on their webpage😵

Finalists will then interview with scholarship selection committees and merit scholarships will be awarded no later than mid-April."
This is wht i found on the web archive.
So they did change it.
also after decisions
but that’s due to the scotus ruling
WHAAAAT
that affected that?
yes; for example, vandy’s mosaic is 4/12-14 now
Not jux after decision
But after "enrollment"
ooh i didnt know thats why they pushed it back
interesting
I was considering Duke but now not so much ☹️
Wht abt Karsh? It's need-based as much as merit-based.
I don't knw how they could even decide who the scholars are after enrollment esp for Karsh.
Falls under merit so it will also be after enrollment
So lets say i get in
But didnt win Karsh
They will hav to meet my full needs anyway
When is this coming
But again all Karsh scholarship finalists last yr probably got in anyway. So mayb they want to see commitment this year.
I really thought i wuld knw ahead. 😔
!duke
after enrollment?
lol so duke is js flexing that they got money
is there any incentive for duke to do that
why not just not have scholarships atp
fr
Hoping they backroll & contact finalists on 15th anyway😵
https://news.dukekunshan.edu.cn/campus-news/nearly-10000-apply-for-place-in-dkus-class-of-2028/
dku is 1.15% for intls guys
Chinese applications surge to 5,213 as the Duke Kunshan undergraduate model proves hugely popular at home and abroad.

Did anyone get a likely
i think still only @tough raptor
There are two others who claim they have in this discord
idk their tags
ok
u smell like updog KVD
Whats up dawggg
what does that mean?
Like a likely letter
you lived a peaceful life that means
good for u
This question gets asked every 2 business days lmao you'll see it in their admissions insta page if there's any news
anybody apply to DKU?
yup
a few others and me
or me and a few others
can't remember the grammar rule
would you consider going
i got a likely letter back in jan and yeah the interview too
tbh i will make it an option if i get a full ride
as of now i havn't got any of my us uni decisions so it's all really ambiguous
but a full aid can bring dku into the picture fs fs
wby??
AaaaaAAAaaa
this is Not real it feels like its still january
"Your checklist will not be available as we finalize our admission decisions. "
OUCH.
scary asf
omg thats great lol
basically had an interview yesterday which was really late and then they requested some css documents this morning and my interviewer said that i should seriously consider attending but i really didn't think i had a chance because i checked off the box that said I can not attend unless I get a full ride and then didn't apply for that scholarship 💀💀
oh so basically
the scholarship covers full tuition + other expenses right?
id assume that if u can manage just the additional expenses they might give u a good financial aid
not sure though
the css profile will make it clear though
gl!!
something like that
i don't really want to live in china for 4 years tho 😬
haha most say the same
29th
I heard tht checklist disappeared on march 20th last yr.
So this is early. Decisions might come out earlier
jux a guess tho
They changed their interview policy this yr. & they also changed their merit scholarship finalist annoucement policy.
They be changing everything. Mayb earlier decisions too
maybe a week earlier
why only us?
are we the only animal testers?
is that a thing? idk what i just said
Really??
Yea...based on last yr reddit thread
Thanks for checking
No prob!
Possibly decision release on 3/22??
not sure tho given they have never released decisions tht early (not in many years at least)
but they do say they are already 'finalizing decisions' so anything is possible i guess.
guys this is getting too real
does no interview this year mean ur cooked?
no they only gave interviews to ppl they needed more info on
So cooked if app isn’t super amazing?
i mean not necessarily
I haven’t really seen duke admits without an interview in the past just based off of collegeresults
well that’s a super amazing app then
no interview since they already knew they’re amazing
it makes more sense that a likely would be provided without an interview
because if theyre that impressive from the getgo then no more information is needed
Someone did from my school last year
So chill :))
this year they changed their interview policy tho
so historical evidence is irrelevant
Hmm true that
what is the difference now?
interviews r for ppl they need additional info from, similar to Yale’s policy
aka competitive applicants
No way I'm competitive 😭
Harvard doesn't think so
😭😭
& they are assigned by admissions...not by regional chairs like last years
i still cant believe duke thinks this abt me
I lvoe you duke
We are!
Duke thinks so.
then again a majority of those interviewed will be rejected
just some positivity for ur day
M curious abt the breakdown tho
Intl n domestic
It's safe to assume they interviewed a lot more domestic applicants
Me too
just excited i had an interview tbh i really liked it
Rt?
whatever happens next ill be proud of myself 😭😭
I don’t think I’m a competitive applicant 😭 ik im getting rejected after that interview
yes but there r also much more domestic applicants than intl
yeahh 😭
idt im making it in
