I got cmu washu and gtech this week I ned them to pull through

swift needle
#

usually good friday is off so christians can observe the day

swift locust
#

they would prob rather release it late then

swift needle
#

good friday is when christians believe jesus died

dense kernel
#

yes exactly

vapid echo
#

Also they upload shit to the portal until the very last minute

swift locust
#

releasing it early with a 10% increase in applicant volume wouldn’t make much sense

fiery helm
dense kernel
#

I doubt Stanford would release that date either

fiery helm
#

it might be later

vapid echo
#

Like they are working up until the decision time

dense kernel
#

also this year was the interview change year

halcyon wharf
#

idk i dont get your point

dense kernel
#

things could be very diff

swift needle
#

maybe the interview change was in light of the applicant # increase?

halcyon wharf
#

i soubt its coming out this early

swift needle
#

idk its all so confusing lol

halcyon wharf
#

but i dont see how a holiday changes anything

fiery helm
#

all we can do is wait i fear

halcyon wharf
#

especiallt because systems are automated

dense kernel
#

phone lines r always open decision day

swift needle
#

i thought aos work on the day of decisions to make sure everything goes smoothly

vapid echo
dense kernel
#

yes exactly

halcyon wharf
silver wraith
#

halcyon wharf

silver wraith
#

My counselor was like why not try it

halcyon wharf

vapid echo
#

Also the tech side people work all day of the decision to ensure the servers work and all decisions are release

out of curiosity, why did y'all apply to duke?

silver wraith

duke has a divinity school so I rlly can’t see them doing it

silver wraith
silver wraith
halcyon wharf

fiery helm
#

yeah it's amazing research and very nice campus

swift needle
silver wraith
# fiery helm ahhh

dense kernel
#

I’m probably not getting in to

#

tho

swift needle
#

ya same..

fiery helm
#

i live in NC and i've always visited for the gardens or science fairs and stuff LOL so it was a natural apply

halcyon wharf
silver wraith
#

Duke has the coolest name among the unis

#

Literally duke has such a vibe to it

#

The name

vapid echo
swift needle
#

i really like the collaborative atmosphere too

silver wraith
#

And the superhero mascot is just

#

Damn

halcyon wharf
#

oh and 2 kids got in last yr

fiery helm
swift needle
#

like most far reaches seem so competitive and i hate that

halcyon wharf
#

so rhey know mt school

fiery helm
#

i don't necessarily like legacy as a system but if u have it then use it i suppose

vapid echo
#

Yeah the dynamic collaborative inter-disciplinary research community or something

fiery helm
vapid echo
#

Out of all my schools I had my best interview for this

silver wraith
vapid echo
#

Which is the one I think matters the most

fiery helm
vapid echo
dense kernel
swift needle
vapid echo
#

I interview best on virtual because I have my notes on a second monitor so I can remember specific programs and what not

fiery helm
#

my interview did go really well tho

swift needle
#

my interviewer was rlly nice and she turned out to be a dancer too which was rlly cool

silver wraith
vapid echo
silver wraith
#

And I came by that quora post by pure mistake it was a good response to the Why dartmouth question but then again I hate glazing

halcyon wharf
#

i cant believe i made it thru the pre read

silver wraith
vapid echo
#

Have duke likelies all come out already? I’ve only seen one on here an Reddit

vapid echo
silver wraith
#

What so I'm supposed to say darty is need blind and is most likely to pay for my tuition?

silver wraith
dense kernel
vapid echo
#

The only school I applied too that felt truly unique was Georgia tech because of their special cs threads program

vapid echo
swift needle
dense kernel
#

iirc they came out 3/24 last year

swift needle
#

i say that as if im gonna get one 💀

silver wraith
#

I wrote my essays like I was on crack too my drexel/purdue supp was literally about how I HATED school

silver wraith
halcyon wharf
#

duke likelies this yr r gonna be so diff

swift locust
#

likelies prob won’t come out as prolifically as last year

halcyon wharf
#

no bsai or latino recruitment and no merit scholarships

swift locust
vapid echo
verbal helm
#

!duke

swift needle
#

like i think schools ask "why college" bc whatever aspects u mention kind of reflect on ur personality

verbal helm
#

still no date damn

swift needle
vapid echo
#

Like duke is so huge on collaborative research, like any other university, but you just gotta emphasize that in your essays

#

Idk tho I’m just a yapper

halcyon wharf
halcyon wharf
vapid echo
silver wraith
# dense kernel that sounds cool

Yeah the method I had with supps is something like the first sentence being a super out of touch statement such as (I used these):

  • I hate school
  • I hate being associated to my country
  • I hate being lonely
    etc.

I did this cus after reading the first sentence 90% of people would be like ok what the fuck is this freak on about and they would continue reading

halcyon wharf
#

they alrd know rhat

dense kernel
vapid echo
#

Turn a why us into why you

halcyon wharf
#

^

dense kernel
swift needle
#

i didnt talk abt bass connections 😭

#

i talked more abt like sustainabiltiy research

#

sustainability*

halcyon wharf
#

i talked abt voting

swift locust
halcyon wharf
silver wraith
vapid echo
#

I talked about bass connections cuz my app is focused on interdisciplinary cs work

fiery helm
#

i talked about:

  • dewitt wallace center for journalism
  • sustainability courses
  • dukeengage
  • environmental research abroad

and then for the "perspective response" essay

  • being korean and how i can involve that at duke
swift locust
#

my strat for all of my why us essays is:
personal anecdote -> core value -> how the school aligns w that value

vapid echo
dense kernel
#

I talked abt sustainability a bunch

#

i mentioned something that idt a single other person would’ve mentioned

swift locust
silver wraith
swift locust

silver wraith
halcyon wharf
#

ive never talked abt school soirit

swift needle
halcyon wharf
#

only in my inteeviews

silver wraith
#

Oh and my duke supplemental for why duke was so shit

swift locust
silver wraith
#

I really couldnt bother so I wrote something so fucking generic I dont even remember what it is

vapid echo
ivory flame
#

wait duke doesn’t have instate vs out of state acceptance rate like unc right?

swift needle
#

naur

silver wraith
#

Looking back now I shouldve written about how I got that blue devil inside of me

dull plank
#

anyone who got an interview, did u get told it was selective?

dense kernel
swift needle
#

private schools dont need to worry abt instate/out of state ratio

swift locust
vapid echo
#

Y’all did the optional essays right?

fiery helm
#

my interviewer just said "think of this as less of an interview and more of a conversation for me to get to know a little more about you, and you to get to know a little more about duke"

fiery helm
swift needle
#

yas i did perspective and intellectual experience

vapid echo
#

I just submitted some from other schools and tweaked them a bit

swift needle
silver wraith
dense kernel
#

MU INTELLECTUAL EXPERIENCE ONE SLAPS

fiery helm
#

i didn't have much to talk about for the other topics so i didn't bother

#

dense kernel
#

I j copied it from Stanford

#

But still

swift needle
fiery helm
#

silver wraith
#

I did everything but video

#

Videos suck ass

swift locust
swift needle
#

swift locust
#

I copied way too much

dense kernel
#

"hey ugly,

fiery helm
#

swift needle
#

vapid echo

After reviewing your video, we have decided there is no room in our class for a ugly person like you,

We don’t wish you luck in the future,
Duke

Duke is one of the few schools that places more emphasis on interviews but it rlly is just a way to keep alumni engaged

Nothing more than that

edgy token

I have act though but i didnt submit that

silver wraith

I submitted my 34 ACT, but not my SAT

silver wraith

we had a really bad case of grade deflation in my school so i dropped from a 3.9 to a 3.6

edgy token
#

Oh damn

silver wraith

There’s not really grade inflation at my school

silver wraith
edgy token

Ok i have no class ranking

silver wraith

i can have a 1200 sat but it doesnt matter shit when my parents are rich arabs who can send oil to duke

#

life is unfair like that but u gotta face it and deal with it

edgy token

alpine cargo
#

Did you guys see the cmt on Duke thread in reddit that sb said decisions out on march 20 according to a counselor?

alpine cargo
#

Idk they just said a counselor

rough elm
#

can you send the reddit post

alpine cargo
rough elm
#

theres just no way its the 19

Really can you send that crimson post

rough elm

alpine cargo
# rough elm

I think maybe theres a typo there in the article, should be 29th March but they messed up and type 19th 😂

waxen dragon
#

A lot of those are made up

rocky granite
#

^^ yeah i think they just assume based on previous trends

blazing obsidian
#

when duke RD come out?

#

Did everyone do the Glimpse video?

forest iron
#

on this thread lol

#

everytime i open it, there's a 'when does duke come out?'

blazing obsidian
#

someone email them

dense kernel
#

or call them

forest iron
#

perfect

#

so who's doing it?

blazing obsidian
#

not me 🙂

dense kernel
#

you!

forest iron
#

so he'll do it

#

thanks.

dense kernel
#

okay I’ll do it monday

forest iron
#

perfect

#

we wait then

vocal umbra
#

Highly doubt it comes on the 19th

#

I don’t think they’ve ever done it that early

dense kernel
#

They’ve also never made interviews pre-screened

vocal umbra
#

True

#

And they’ve also never done glimpse

vocal umbra
#

But the release date was still late

dense kernel
#

I’d go to Duke over any UC

vocal umbra
#

Depends on major and stuff

#

I wouldn’t go ucla over Duke for anything

#

I would go Berkeley over Duke

#

Maybe

#

For CS

forest iron
#

Berkeley > Duke > UCLA

#

for me

vocal umbra
#

but Duke still better in terms of vibe and chillness

dense kernel
#

Duke connections go crazy

#

Duke alumni network like a family

#

Berkeley is too big for me

forest iron
#

kirk focuses on college fit

#

which is great

#

many ppl ignore that somehow

#

(like me)

dense kernel
forest iron
#

but i think if it's cs then berkeley wins right?

#

wait what is major is duke known for?

dense kernel
#

duke is good at everything

rustic cove
#

when this come out

alpine cargo
forest iron
#

this is hilarious

#

lmao

rustic cove
#

what

#

?

forest iron
blazing obsidian
vocal umbra
#

Yes I heard Berkeley hyper competitive

#

But it’s in the big 4

#

It’s a hard decision

#

Would have to visit to see

rustic cove
#

I’m gonna get rejected by both so no point comparing for me

vocal umbra
#

Yea same lol

#

Didn’t even apply to Berkeley

forest iron
#

i didn't do berkeley anyway so yaay

forest iron

long time no see

well with this year we don’t really know but

Alr

#

In hopes that my app was good enough imma pray they just didn’t want an interview

#

Or prob just I didn’t make it 😔

steady fern

And I’m like tf when our school averages 1180

mossy sedge

#

ngl i haven't gotten duke interview which is def making me feel uneasy

mossy sedge
small grove
#

my buddies got interviews tho

steady fern
#

Although I wouldn’t mind there being a correlation between interview and acceptances lollll

#

Weighs a little more for Duke compared to other schools

#

Interviews I mean

#

But still don’t weight too heavily

#

Just a way to keep alumni engaged

small grove
#

i'm not really worried about it weighing but moreso how much duke values my applications since they have a selective interview process

steady fern
#

Wdym

#

Yeah

and ik they do say its for applicants they need more info on but i've seen yale use the same language

mossy sedge
#

Didn’t someone get to read their duke admission and find out that they spent until the last day and their application was read on the last day

#

Might be that they haven’t gotten to our application

steady fern

#

I legit submitted mine at 11 pm

#

Same with legit all my common app schools cuz I genuinely wanted to make sure everything was right

small grove
#

i heard somewhere they changed it up this year onwards

#

but availiability is def a factor

steady fern
#

I submitted mine Jan 3

probably has nothing to do with when you submitted

mossy sedge
#

Btw were we suppose to expand upon ecs on additional info

steady fern
#

No, don’t do that

mossy sedge
#

Cuz I don’t get why people are doing it despite all the warnings

steady fern
#

If they wanted you to expand on it, they would’ve given you more space to do so

small grove
mossy sedge
steady fern
maiden bridge
#

there's no expectation for additional info

steady fern
#

Yale AO podcast said not to do it

small grove
mossy sedge
#

Like I remember hearing Stanford applicants expand on the research and wrote see additional info or something

maiden bridge
mossy sedge
#

Like I wonder if I should have done that

maiden bridge
#

dont overthink your apps

mossy sedge
#

Lots of regrets are filling inside me

maiden bridge

my safeties and targets

small grove
#

in the end this is a subjective process

steady fern

^

small grove
#

damn what

mossy sedge
#

Why bruh?

steady fern
#

Oh so they give you fake chances 😂

small grove
#

im ngl hyperfixating on admissions will make you empty after its done

#

whether you get in or dont

#

i felt that way once i submitted all apps

steady fern
#

Yeah don’t even worry abt your app at this point

small grove
#

honestly it is what it is whatever grind i put in developed me and im thankful for that

steady fern
#

Can’t change it anymore, no point worrying about about it, just accept what happens

#

Whatever happens, happens

#

Kinda annoying I’ve gotten accepted to a few places but can’t afford it

small grove
#

same

steady fern
#

Makes me feel like all the work I put into apps going to waste unless I get a good scholarship from outside organization

What is this marching thing.?

i think 2024 is a year where stats don't mean much anymore

steady fern
#

All these test blind and test optional admissions

#

😭

small grove
#

its those essays and ecs

#

and award

steady fern
#

Did you get in?

small grove
#

ucla lower than cal is crazy

steady fern
#

This website is wack

visual turret
steady fern
#

But need blind won’t give you an advantage

small grove
#

it depends per school ik yale and darthmouth prefer kids with scores

visual turret
#

oh

small grove
#

that is interesting

visual turret
#

i hoped they looked at scores more rip

#

since ppl send hours studying for that thing

midnight schooner
#

not for CS 😭

small grove
#

like georgia tech

mossy sedge
#

Is duke cs impossible to get into

visual turret
#

didnt apply 😭

steady fern
#

I got into ucla, hoping for berk too

mossy sedge
#

I did cs for all I wish I did stats instead so I can do ML or AI

midnight schooner
#

but me being a CS applicant I think its very unlikely

steady fern
mossy sedge
midnight schooner
#

berk EECS I think is significantly harder than UCLA CS

me and the guys gotta buzz cut if we get into our dream school

Def not march 19

#

They would have sent an email by now

jade estuary
#

actually no matter what website it is, its probs not true

#

duke stanford almost always after ivy day

foggy mulch
#

take the date as either 28th or 29th, on or after ivyday

NYU was after ivyday too last year but for some reason, they decided to rename ivyday to deathday this year

jade estuary
#

we already have ivies, nyu, and berkeley on ivy day

#

people were speculating georgetown comes out on that day as well

#

if duke also comes its gonna be a bloodbath 💀

foggy mulch
#

imagine if UMich also plans to join the bandwagon

#

i have Northwestern coming out on 27th, ivies + NYU + berkeley on 28th, speculating Duke and UMich on 29th

jade estuary
#

it was a bit earlier last year

jade estuary

and georgetown somewhere

"by" March 29th. many schools release earlier than the target. Unless there is an announcement saying it will be released "on" March 29th. the decision might come out earlier.
