yeah duke over cas for sure
What is cas
College of arts and sciences
unbiased
in terms of what tho
but tbh it doesnt rlly matter all are incredible schools
and duke is fire too
Duke only accepted 50 transfers ๐ญ๐ญ
Ehat if they donโt have a second wave ๐๐
WDYm
There will be!!
they probably will!
Everything subjective
Like Cornell is better for some Duke for others
No one school is the best for everything
yup yup
What Iโm saying is nobody should pick Cornell over Duke simply cuz itโs an Ivy
Or any ivy for that matter
The ivy name means nothing
im ngl (maybe this is the duke commit in me) but the ivy hype confuses me
its an athletics conference, no?
Yes
It just became associated with prestige
I feel like so many people think Duke is an Ivy ๐
Everyone I tell they ask me โthatโs an ivy rightโ
Same w like Stanford MIT I feel like
this is so real actually t-t
ivy+ things
no fr
literally my entire hometown thought i got into an ivy
I SWEAR i've even say people say things like "stanford is cool... but its not an ivy, right?"
HEY WE'RE NOT PRETENDERS
we released on march 28th last year as well
but ivy day was march 30th last year
yall just stole our day ๐โ
YES LMAOO
yall my admissions officer emailed me about something i wrote in loci ๐งโโ๏ธ do u think they are going thru things rn
Probably
Was it a query regarding what you wrote?
Canโt be a bad sign
it was more like a statement, which threw me off
it was so random
what they say
wait i got something like that
i got a generic-looking response to my loci though, nothing specific to what i wrote
i wrote about something personal, and they mentioned that specifically
but lowkey i feel like its not really a sign or anything
It means theyโre at least considering you I think
It might not mean anything, but like idt itโs bad at least
it's not bad, and it might be beneficial to actually respond to their response and express gratitude
at least, that's what i did
and maybe it played a role
@visual turret how long ago did you send your loci?
did u email ur loci to ur admissions officer
it was like end of april (after 20th)
not too sure exactly
oh ok
yes (i don't think i was supposed to but wtv)
i also uploaded thru portal though
i donโt think it matters if you email or upload tbh, most likely than not they will have the updates
Does anyone have the email addy for additional recommendation letters
i just sent my 2nd loci
i had someone write a rec letter before but i think they sent to the wrong addy
Was it brief
Itโs on the portal
i would give my left testicle
to get in
@heady urchin where are you committed for now
3/4 of a page
Real
UCLA
So not brief ๐ญ
wait not berk?
no she's waiting on wl
No
No my dad is ๐
Ucla is still insane tho
I really want to go to the east coast :/

Yeah
Why hasnโt Duke pulled after 5/one ๐คจ

ohh thank u
whats the point of the may 15 extension?
we could ask if we needed a fin aid offer or merit scholarship extension
@long pilot Hi, is there an awards section on amcas?
There's a spot for 15 things and you can put extracurriculars, work, publications, or awards there. It'll ask you which category each entry falls under
ok thanks is there any addtl info if u did extra stuff?
