#Duke University (2024-2025)
1 messages · Page 5 of 1
I visited swarthmore cause I was already in the area from penn and it seemed like a very calm oasis, but too calm like I need a big school
my mom still talks about how CMU used to be my dream school to point out how I used to make terrible decisions x_x
CMU professor ik looked me dead in the eye one time and was just like “never come to CMU the kids are so depressed” and she isn’t even a stem professor so ig the stress is everywhere 😭
my mind is going crazy
Sorry I may be slandering too much
I love swarthmore sm 😭
Jeezz
a guy from my school went to CMU for design
I heard even the design school is super stressful
Yeah the school just seems like
LOL me with matpat
even though my ap bio teacher made me depressed ill always appreciate her esp cause she died on sunday
High strung ig
rip queen
Also it's so sad how matpat sold his channels ;-;
the sad thing is everyone in my school knows that but I swear ik 5 ppl ed ing there
ouch
imagine they get burnt out from comp sci
and want to switch majors
✨ prestige ✨
Yeah that’s fair
I think some people feel they need that pressure to be productive
true like one of my friends thrives in that kind of competitive environment
like I remember specific a2cers being like I love competitive cutthroat environments when talking about berkeley
yeah fs
happy for them but I would never survive there :/
i cant imagine living like that for 4 years of my life
I love dukes environment sm
It definitely brings out the best and worst in people
like???
Yesss
I think also it depends on where you grew up
did u ed there too?
yesyes
Duke has very like work hard play hard vibes
YAYY
like bay kids would do chill at a school like berkeley or cmu
another duke ed
I love how active this channel is
against the rules 
these vibes are great but lowkey gives me fomo sometimes
Yeah it's the reason I fell in love with it
like I’m mostly a lurker
no astrology guys
in the clerb we all fam
but I love reading y’all’s chats
sorry 😦
I was in the washu channel earlier and it's the deadest thing in existence
Oh wow that's early
honestly so fair
where are you applying? did you ed?
damn yale has 6k more messages than us
cause they have more prestige
But duke is the best
totally not biased
i feel like duke ed was more pop this year tho
We’ve had…incidents
like what?
ed’d duke and then I’m applying to like 40 other schools 💀
yale had a 30% decrease in REA apps
bc usually comes early
Those 6k were rough
40?!?!
haha blair flashback
good luck omg
jeez lol
yeah I heard cause it's test flexible not optional
tbf that includes all uc’s
so like 30 without ucs?
The fact she might actually be on the same campus as me next year is scary
Dude what
Like actually
Why
only 1 person shared their decision on the BC chat
lol
who's that?
jeez that's dead lol
the caltech thread has messages?? who the hell applied there
alot of people apply caltch
when duke ed decisions come out this place is gonna be so active
dw about it
caltceh has 8 supplements or something crazy
why
apparently in the past 4 years someone at my school went to caltech x_x
its just that most of the kids they take are given a little boost by being recruited athletes
I guess they no longer exist LOL
but also theyre extremely cracked
all rea dont boost
jeez
My mom told me to apply to the art + design major at MIT cause that would be a unique major but my STEM grades would not cut it x_x
upenn special programs have a lot of supps too
plus I do NOT want to take those physics and chem reqs
it’s been my friends dream school since she was like 10
I think purdue honors had a lot of supps
Cause I remember complaining about it
I think it was purdue at least
i think theyre gonna take away our cheklist tommorow (I THINK)
that's the same idea w most rea and ed schools
I swear you know so much more about this stuff than me lol
is it coming out 12th or 15th?
i have no idea
I didn't even know it existed until A2C x_x
but they take away cheklists before decisions come out
and im thinking tommorow
as a guess
probably 12th, they usually do it a few days before
im guessing prob the 12th too
If decisions come out someone better SPAM ping me lol
I mean I'll be there probably but if it isn't the 12th I might not find out until a few hours later
i think youll know before us
LOL not necessarily
Cause it might be 7 pm EST or 4 pm
And 4 pm EST is 1 pm for me
Aka I'm still in class
I think they've done 2 pm too??
no not always apparently
its not gonna be surprise
they did last year
well know
prob 2-3 days in advance
apparently the email comes a tinyyy bit later
no thats to say decisions are "out"
they also send a email before saying when theyll release
like days before
in some college decision reactions I saw some people say "so uh apparently this college decisions came out a few days ago" and I have no idea how they're so casual about that x_x
I love being pst lol
my idoc havent been submitted yet AHHHHHHH
less waiting for everything
ooh I didn't know that
ooppppp
mine updated all my forms on 12/02
its like 9 forms my god
technically the same waiting but yeah it feels like less waiting lol
so many checks
my fams stuffs been processed but i just submitted my personal stuff
If it comes out in class I'm just gonna straight up walk out to open my decisions lol
we submitted idoc like over a month ago though
hopefully itll be done by the 12th
And then come back either crying and screaming in joy
and ull get your aid package no matter what if u get accepted
even if it comes a little late
my dads doing his fafsa part tomorrow 🔥
true, im BARELY under free tuition so if i get in im gonna be saving SO much money
honestly ive been thinking about it and idt ill care that much if i get rejected
If it comes out 7 pm EST it'll be after school so I'm fine
4 pm EST I'll be at lunch so it's fine
2 pm EST I'll be in math x_x
usually they do 7 pm est
like ill probably be numb a little bit but get over it fast
i think
hopefully I really don't wanna start bawling in class x_x
yeah it was 7 last yr
my EFC is close to 0 too i getcha
yeah i cannot recall a college decision that came out in class
the aid needs to pull through PLSSS
i wont be super heartbroken but it also means time to stress out about all my other decisions, i get my UofSC HC decision AND my CofC + CofC HC decision around the same time as Duke too 
actually 2 pm EST it'll be the walking period between math and photography so I guess my photo teacher just gotta deal with me being late to class lol
ur getting into all of those trust
jeezzz all my EA decisions come out in jan
no like im from SC so they have a thingy majig where if ur undr 150k family income you get free tuition, under 65?k you get a full ride
for SC and NC residets
the MAIN reason Duke is my ED
honestly so real
south carolina is just like that yk
I applied robertson so fingers crossed, I think those decisions come out on the 15th
im under the 150k margin my less than 10k 😭
I heard that if you get semifinalist it's a good sign
you got ts dont worry
oh my income bracket it like 60-70k pretty sure
so either I get in Duke ED and whatever, or I get deferred or rejected then it's a good sign for UNC
so i think ill get tuiton covered regardless if i get in
oh 100%
hopefully fingers crossed
ew UNC
😭
real
im still debating on applying to UNC
i wanna live like im in hogwarts for 4 yrs please
REAL OMG
my harry potter phase comes back every december
but on winter break im going on a secret trip so i need to do a movie marathon before that
😭
secret?
SENIOR TRIP
SAME
i hate my keyboard
It's so funny cause when I was 11 I was so disappointed I didn't get a hogwarts letter
Or ilvermorny I guess for north america
i think my granpa wants to take me and my sis on a grad trip to europe
really? which names?
"Cho Chang"
we went 2 summers ago to germany/austria for a business trip of his and it was so awesome
My mom wants to take us on a trip to Brazil to celebrate getting into Duke and I keep telling her to chill x_x
Parvati and Padma Patil the last name and first names come from different regions of India
it doesnt even make snese
LOL yeah I'm chinese and I found that funny
i think this grad time he wants to go UK/France and im tryna persuade him for Amsterdam cuz OMG
theres so many more i cant think of rn
its just jk rowling
extended metaphor wise
I'm going to nepal on a school trip in late march and I'm so excited
omg i wish, we flew delta one to and from munich
I really want to visit every country
my mom used to work for delta before she was forced to retire
Including north korea but I know that's unrealistic but I feel like it would be so cool to see how north koreans live
same omg
it is possible
yeah but it's really hard
idk why but i really wanna visit like mongolia...
SAME
my flying benefits end at a certain age though
Ouch
really tempted to take a gap year and explore the world LOL
no same like legitimately after college I'm gonna do that
mongolia and siberia
And I wanna do a semester abroad in europe so on the weekends I can take a train and visit all the countries
i hope i can get a good study abroad 🙏
everyone think were so rich hehehehe
lol I've never been in first class but from youtube videos I really wanna do it at least once just for the vibes
my friends say im rich but i just say my rich grandpa spoils me ✨
cuz thats how it is
oh yeah my gradnma is rich AF
💔
but she doesnt give us any money
do u have to fill out fafsa
except to me on my bdays
that's my uncle, I'm not sure how rich but my mom says he's very well off
if ur not applying fin aid
ouch that sucks
my grandma lives solely off of stocks and she gave me 40 shares of disney when i was like 14...
might as well for some scholarships
if ur applying to those
wait
jeezz
until what income
lately I gave all my life savings to my dad and told him to put it in stock for me
do u get like aid
Index funds for the win
like fin aid
probably 400k i guess
oh
it also depends on siblings
i dont have sibblings
and other asset related stuff
rn im saving up cuz i wanna buy some more clothes 🤑
im really stuck between 2 sweaters
ok
but just fill it out cause duke has merit scholarships
over really 200k you dont get shit
BROTHER WHAT
anything
they'll tell you to fill it out if you end up getting merit right?
its not always for fin aid
jeez 7 figures x_x
true but better to do it now
You definitely won't get any lol
WHY ARE YOU WORRIED ABT AID WITH 7 FIGS
if u have the time
real...
brothas gonna be paying more...
im here freaking out abt fin aid and the department of education
I'm just curios if I would even get a few dollars
why couldnt have trump been elected 4 years later LMAO
yeah no kidding
i rmb someone told me they got like 1k
atleast we will have a new president when we leave college... we just gotta hope congress blocks all the anti DOE attempts
or like 600 dollars
what was their income?
nah i hate his orangey ass die BITCH (jk sorry if there are any trumpies here i promise im civil)
LOL
like 1m+?
😭
maybe it was from national merit or something tho
then maybe they had a lot of debt?
bro do you live in leichtenstein or sum wtf 😭
no duke doesn't give money for that
bruh my income bracket in the DMV is like crickets
most people think under 100k is low income LOL
cali? idk
the cost of living here is so high
ye
yeah I can imagine
cali
Seattle is so expensive nowadays too
bro im 140k and we sometimes cant even get food on the table, my mom was out of a job for half the damn year and i had to take over payments for groceries, medical, etc
shit was rough
cupertino california
the value of my house has increased by 60% in the last 12 years
you'll get aid
ouch I'm sorry
silicon valley... makes sense
and my father is out of the country trying to get some real estate for more money
Honestly I think the best part about college (especially high ranking ones) is that it's a great way to get people out of poverty without paying a dime (or at least paying very little)
Like I honestly respect low income kids who get into high ranking colleges so much
free tuition for duke, under 5k for stanford, under 10k for most if not all ivies, under 15k everywhere else but GT and UofSC (estimated)
Yeah that makes sense
i just didnt see the point cause i knew duke was my top choice and i didnt want to compete with all the other kids who ranked duke. Also my income was higher than avg questbridge (theyre like 30k)
and i got a twin going to college same time as me
they usualyl reject if ur income is not low low
makes sense
theres only 2 including me in my senior class applying duke ED
my bad I meant cant u questbridge than ed
yeah but thats higher than most kids who get accepted
maybe thats because were only like 55 people
cuz not matching in questbridge isnt a rejection
its usually under 40k for questbridge
oh
i also was not about to write all those supps i cant lie
plus i didnt even have my common app essay done until mid october
writing browns supps was hel
that QB deadline was NOT being met
i c
my advisor tried to convince me but i felt guilty
ngl my school had questbridge people but i think they all just abused it
how can you abuse it?
QB in the silicon valley???
are their parents doing tax fraud LMAO
I dont think its fraud its just the line between loopholes
i dont think that inhernetly is bad using loopholes
My mom's former classmate (I think) is paying this guy to fake high school transcripts and a complete art portfolio to get her daughter into an art school x_x
theres a lot of international kids who do tax fraud
Yeah
yeah there are kids who genuinely cant go to college w/o it
well idk if thats true
I feel bad enough applying to robertson cause I can afford college even though robertson isn't financial based x_x
cause they get 100% fin aid anywhere need blind
And I'm doing it so I can save up for grad school
but QB is special to them
Yeah def
i respect questbridge ppl hella
there was this duke questie on my FYP and she was so cracked
1580 SAT, 15 APS, 4.0 ETC
I just respect low income kids who have the ambition and talent to apply to good colleges
people who say questies dont deserve it are jealous
That's what my mom said and I had a full on argument with her
aw thanks 🙂 my dad is a college dropout so this process makes no sense for him
She said a lot of questies fake it which yeah maybe some do but I think the vast majority deserve it
i went test opt cuz i dont have enough money for sat and i dont quali for waivers 💔 i hope my 4.08 and 11 APs pulls through 🙏
but the fact that hes tryna learn makes me so happy
hes coming back in time for deciisons next week
dont they give 2 free?
oh wait nvm
And she said that some may not be as cracked as "normal" apps which again, may be true but that's cause they're low income and getting that far with low income is crazy good
aw that's super sweet
no
I got a 1510 on my november sat as a last ditch shot so i submitted it
yep thats for fee waivers
i got a.... 1280... 
i never got one...
My parents didn't go to college in the US but my mom lurks on every Chinese college social media forum lol and at this point she probably knows as much about college as most Americans, if not more
Yep test scores aren't the be all end all
even though itll probably be less this year thats still really good
- all recruited athletes usually submit test scores so the numbers arent really scewed either
It's still skewed, all test optional schools are skewed somewhat
i mean its not like all questies go TO and legacy kids are usually rich so they have the money to get high SAT/ACT
I'm trying to submit something for scholastic rn and I'm trying to find the images I used and it's such a pain 😭
I found 3 images
I have 2 more to go
And it is a PAIN
Wait scratch that I have like 5 more to go x_x
why didn't I save my sources when I made the image 😭
omg the other duke ed girl from my school started following the duke2029 page...
I have the images but not the links ;-;
there are like 10 duke 2029 pages lol
crazyyy
I've been counting down the days x_x
wait guys i have a random question im itching to ask. Do yt the kids who ranked duke on qb are counted in total ed apps? IK accepted ED counts questbridge so its been confusing me
ugh i need to go to sleep and not think about this
😭
i mean they still do all the supps like other applicants thats why its been confusing
OKAY IM GOING TO BED this is NOT healthy
Uhhh I'm not sure tbh
I have no idea
LOL yes
go to sleep
byeeeee goodnight
Any reason why the speculated date on the a2c changed from the 12th to the 21?
I don't think it should have
last year was on the 14th
which was a thursday
and then this year the 12 will be that thursday
So I thought maybe something was weird
where did you see it
On the decision calendar
dunno, maybe someone has insider information
all just speculation nothing is confirmed yet tho
but judging from last year techincally the likelihood of it being 12 should be higher? idk
honestly i personally think it'll be the 19th
cuz thats what mid december means to me
Yea 21 seems outrageous that’s not mid December at all
And a Sunday
I’m still hopefull for 12th but wouldn’t be surprised if it was later
yeah same
I dont think its usually on sunday
and I've seen everyoen perdict 12th since its the 2nd thursday of december
idk tho
No I read it
pretty sure it didnt
thats formal admissions packet stuff which they give to all applicants
who get accepted
if it comes out on the 21st im gonna be mad
rela
why tell us mid december its basically around the same apps last year
i dont think i could handle 17 more days of this
me too. It'll prob be btw. 12-15 with 12th the most likely
Imma just not check 👍
wait guys
the qb letter last year said the same thing
i checked
we're good
Oh wow u smart
yea hopefully someone who runs the a2c calendar just did a type or smth
Typed 21 instead of 12
Yea but the other deadlines got updated immediately after qb
Like Cornell and Columbia got their dates confirmed the day of
but even those could be wrong cuz it had Columbia Cornell and Yale all releasing different days
Which I feel like can’t be right
i mean duke didnt confirm it last year until 3 days before
we're okay
can someone @ a mod to fix the a2c calendar
That shouldn't be right, Duke said it'll release by the 15th so it's usually a day or two earlier
thats normal
ivies dont release on the same day for ED/SCEA
No it didn't, it said in the coming weeks
Oh my gosh same
I can barely take a week more, waiting over two weeks would literally kill me x_x
@eternal mauve
Can you change the Duke speculated decision date from 21 to 12?
We think someone made a typo
Not necessary
We have a Modmail
@obsidian gyro
She also doesn’t have perms to do it
They’re not wrong
no panic anymore
So many of my friends are getting their decisions back on the 12th and 13th
They are exactly what the letters said
I'm so nervous for them
What major?
they usually take 50% of kids who apply with around my stats in my district
hoping one of them is me
envi sci and policy minors in gender studies and econ
Duke basically always releases Thursday
Oooh cool majors
i would be more nervous with the increased apps but even last year they took the same amount as years before
When I apply Duke I'll be applying ECE since I'm pretty stereotypical but we ball
its always been pretty stagnant
4/8 who had my at least my gpa + SAT last year got in
that's impressive
my friend got waitlisted with a 1570 and pretty strong ECs
but he got Penn so
Yeah got waitlisted by Cornell and Princeton too
pretty unfortunate he was actually super stacked
And Yale and Columbia basically always release Thursdays
Guess when they are this year
A Tuesday yes
he's the type of person where I wouldn't be surprised if he swept, pretty high impact crap
columbia come out on the 18th too which is p random
Yep
im kinda hooked? So i applied ED to give me a better chance
Point being I would not lock in the 12th
oh are u legacy?
no fgli status
Yeah but duke is not coming out on Sunday
Did u see that cracked guy on chanceme who applied Duke ED
I never said that
1600 USACO plat USAMO I think
It’s gonna be like Thursday Tuesday or Friday
I was just going off what calendar said
That was a Saturday
prob just tryna feel good abt themself
there are so many kids who lie there i dont look at that sub
I have a friend who posted on chanceme with super strong ECs like usaco camp but his GPA is pretty bad
like a 3.5 or 3.6
O
He was too locked in on olys so
I know a guy from my school applying Duke who I hope does not get in
cause he has connections with duke AOs
Don't want him to get in when he doesn't rlly deserve it
yeah thats annoying
but at the same time i dont think they would admit him if he wasnt qualified
yeah i dont think you would have to worry
they have legacy kids they would prioritize over him
im hella confused]
the speculated time is dec 12th?
?
sorry wait
yday it was 21st
but today its 12th again
I was confused bc it swapped between the two
i think its because i just asked them to change it on dm
it was 21st like 30 mins ago
okay
theres hella schools on dec 12th
it just feels right tbh
being right before friday the 13th
they still haven't removed our checklist tho
they did by this time last year
Only one is confirmed that day homeslice
hella schools speculated on 12th*
is harvard the one confirmed school?
its def coming out on the 12th for them based on the likely letter recruited athletes recieved
They’re not confirmed
Cornell is
Also I asked Harvard students they said the single tiktok out there abt the letters is suspicious
wait yea I saw the tiktok about he likely letter
no bro come back trust
yall do i get aespa tickets... this would be my view
not bad, how much for the tick
90 + fee so prolly like 110
90 is hella cheap
i checked carolina on ticketmaster and it was in the several hundreds iirc
yeah
its like 400 for lower level
but i feel like that stadium is a lot smaller than what i expected
so view n shi is prolly better
oh yeah 100%, i was there a couple years ago for a hornets/celtics game
YAS
floor is 500-2k 😭
yeah cuz aespa always has a stage extension
i saw aespa last yr its worth it
i wanna see twice but no concert tour in near future 😭
how much did u spend
$100
what level was urs? similar height?
shouldve went to their 2023 tour
well it was in a small theater
ahhh
ikkkkkkkkk (only recently became a ONCE 😦 )
why we talking abt kpop in a duke channel...
idk xd
STAYC and aespa were my #1 and #2 on wrapped this year
cuz duke loves aespa ofc
lets move to gen
im so sad aespa isnt coming to atl again this yr
alr #🚀-general-chat
omg lowk i would go
but hella unfort
its on the same day as duke vs clemson
im taking road trip w my friends to clemson to watch game
wait do u know of any upcoming concerts
@tall plaza
any other
i bet tyler hella expensive tho
yeh same section is like 200-300
Exactly one week left that's crazy
I need to do my RD apps cause if I don't and I end up getting rejected I will NOT have the motivation to work
a good trick to write your essays is prolly to forget you EDed somewhere 😭.
Or think you would definitely get rejected.
That way you can write your essays
True true I'm convinced I'm gonna get deferred x_x
Cause acceptance is unlikely and I don't wanna even think about getting rejected x_x
So defer
I'm trying to convince myself to fall in love with UMich as much as I love Duke
you can't be too sure
I want to say my application is somewhat strong (but maybe that's just cause everyone's trying to hype me up and they're getting in my head x_x) but I'm definitely not confident enough to say I'll get accepted so I think deferred is the middle ground
same here actually 😭😭
i also think I have more chance of deferral than acceptance but we never can say tbh 😂.
Until decisions come out, everything is just our thoughts
tbh, I also hate deferrals. I think they suck 😭
ik someone who was deferred from Cornell and then wait-listed 🤧.
she almost died from false hope 😭
i wouldnt be able to handle that
i wonder why they havent removed our checklists yet
they did by the 4th last year
they should soon enough
Yeah deferrals are the worst
Jeez that sucks
That happened to my friend buy Stanford
it feels like the ed date is so fast
we only have Friday
then it's the weekend which passes quickly
Then 4 more days and then it's here
I have no motivation to study for finals I'm so screwed lol
In my math class we're going to be learning new concepts until the day before the final so RIP
they said by the 15th so at latest it'll be next sunday
Idk if this is even true but on my insta fyp some random college counselor came up and said duke was being released on the 12th
alot of people think 12th cuz thats the 2nd thursday of dececmber
and thats when duke usually releases
but no one knows if its rue
It’ll probably be then
true
okay so we're looking at the 9th for a potential email
Most of the schools I applied to last year the predictions were accurate except uw and UCI iirc
On one of the official duke websites, I forgot which one
so almost always thursday
its on the pamplet
i sent it a long time ago
2 years ago it was on a saturday tho so idk anymore

There are Duke ED likely letters apparently 😭
They are only for recruits who know they got in before they applied, mainly basketball and football players… My sister works for someone in the admissions office and thats all I’ve heard
Okay apparently it's just for athletes that makes me feel a lot better
Someone in the comments said they also got one
they're not giving likelies for normal ED applicants. They dont have to entice us to go because we're binded
it makes no sense
Yeah
yeah

That says the 12th
They're also speculating though but since they're a college admissions counseling service they might have some inside info
They don’t lol
They’d have as much info as counselors do
Which sometimes is more than I get but it’s usually not that much of a heads up and is also definitely not uniquely publicized by them
It’s possible
Idk, I work at a disadvantage compared to basically all the other calendars bc I don’t have counselor access
I leech off r/a2c seo
So I decided to actually click on this post
Zero effort mfs
They haven’t edited any of their dates
Yale is incorrect
Columbia is incorrect
A bunch are
😂😂
Is there any reason why schools withhold this kinda information?
I feel like waiting till the last second to tell people makes it more annoying for them
Cuz surely tons of people spam them with messages asking when
Honestly idk
Maybe to give them more flexibility
In case something comes up and they gotta delay it
yeah famu has delayed before
!cornell
The decision date is <t:1734048000:F> in your local time
6 days, 2 hours and 47 minutes until the decision date
they have the same decision date (and probably time) as us
the tineo college prep guy is saying december 12
he might know an AO or something because he didnt have a question mark next to it like he did with princeton, and he didnt even list upenn
He’s already not right on some of them lol
Well
It’s more he’s being a bit lazy
He’s rounding them
Caltech is not at 6pm, it’s 5:38pm
MIT could be around 12pm ET but knowing them it won’t be on the dot 12pm
Last 12pm instance was 12:12
Notre dame is also 6:42pm not 6
I went through some others and he’s at least giving me more credibility vibes than crimson education
But most his guesswork seems about as good as mine
Like I noticed we both had the same notre dame guess which was off by one
I would not be surprised if there are a few he has ao connections to but he isn’t making it super clear which
Where u seeing tineo college prep guy’s predictions?
He spreads them across multiple TikToks
I see the vision but it’s not a great format imo bc you can’t control how an outdated version may come up on someone’s feed at any time
And he keeps updating a few of them
Also there’s such a limited amount of space on TikTok bc you can only fit so much text compared to a website or a spreadsheet
But yeah his guesses all seem logical the issue is said logic follows similar to my logic which had repeatedly been wrong this year for some reason despite it working other years
someoen I know whos getting accpeted this year said its like some time that is also the day
But the other times I’ve seen are 1:59, 3:14, and 6:28
oh ya
Duke still Dec 12 then.. pins and needles! Argh
prolly dec 12th 7 pm est
best perdict rn
duke releases their shit like 3 days before the date
so idk
yeah
6:28 is common
double pi
guys I'm delulu
also
if we all get in do y'all want sweatshirts like this
except with duke lol
I run my school's merch shop so I make stuff like that and I can make them for all of us if we all get in
yes I'm delulu
I'm gonna do this for whatever school I commit to though
the cost's pretty low so if you guys cover the costs we can roll up at duke next fall together wearing the coolest (and cheapest) college merch ever
okay yeah I'm thinking too much about college someone stop me 😭
this is really niceee
that's gonna be cool
what if we aren't living in the US though?
Could you still do it for intl students
guys did anyone recieve this
idoc thing
for css profile apparently?
people who got these are speculating duke is finalizing on financial aid which means they basically got accepted
i didnt recieve a single document related to this
am i cooked
i fw charlie brown heavy
it means nothing. i got it like 2 weeks ago they couldn’t have finalized my decision then
it just means they need more info for fin aid. admissions works separately
what abt interviews
i didnt get a single interview
and ik people from my country who got interviews for duke
i got an interview
but it’s based on availability
although most internationals usually get idic requests so it’s weird u haven’t gotten one
i got my idoc request on like 11/27 which was only 2 days after my interview report was due. I don't even think they finished the first reads were finished by then. Nothing is related to admissions the only thing "definite" is the letter. If u go to last year's thread, plenty of kids who received idoc requests got rejected. Obviously i would work on other applications but don't doubt yourself
Uh I guess I could ship it to you but it would be more expensive plus I'm only gonna do it for whatever school I get into + a few other people who also get into it cause I don't wanna have a billion people asking me for it
There are people who didn't get interviews who still got accepted
Dw you're okay
ohhhh, that makes sense 😂.
Shipping cost is something else tbh 😕
although I could just get it when I come over or something
Yeah but don't put all your eggs in one basket lol, one or both of us could get rejected
ohhh, I didn't apply to Duke lol.
Yo those sweaters are so sick I love snoopy
If I get in I’d love to buy one off u
How much would one cost?
Uh ask me in a few weeks lol
It was just an idea I had
Cause a long time ago I was looking at college merch and I decided I was NOT gonna pay $60 for something I could print at school myself with a cuter design
School merch shop for the win lol
I'm gonna miss that thing after I graduate
But yeah I refuse to look at all the details until I get accepted 😭
Or more likely, rejected ;-;
Oh damn
That improved my copium
Fingers crossed 🤞
Oh lol alright
I’d love to get a custom piece that seems sick
Yep
Duke this is why you should accept me so I can make custom sweatshirts
Orrrr they'll reject me for copyright infringement lol
I mean I'm not selling them just making them for myself and like a few friends
So honestly I feel like duke wouldn't care especially since I'm promoting them by wearing the sweatshirts lol
Plus they got better things to do than go around suing one kid for being a fan of duke
duke please accept me I love you 💙
according to chatgpt if I don't use their font and add creative stuff to it so it's obvious I'm not trying to imitate them then it's not copyrighted lol let's gooooo
kinda cool tbh
guys i havent started
are the Duke supps hard
relatively, nope
but they obviously aren't baby's work
They're pretty easy
ah ok
The Why Duke is chill cause a lot of colleges have that prompt so you can copy paste
ok im going to do them in a day
And then there were a few supps
bruh what
LOL so fair
like optional supps
isnt the exact point of why us is you cant copy paste??
Yes and no, yes as in you can copy paste the format
Like the introduction, middle section, conclusion
But you have the change it to fit the college
ah ok i was gonna say
But overall once you have one written you can copy paste the format for other colleges
After I wrote my duke one I copy pasted it for like 3 other colleges and just changed it up a bit
yeah as long as the other colleges can't tell you wrote it for another college then it's fine lol
I just added 3 colleges to my list so yippee
more supps
They kind of all seemed like the same question to me
I figured it out maybe but
"My daughter’s guidance counselor said [Duke]invited them to a webinar this upcoming week. I am not sure which day though. I am wondering if this is something they do every year and if that means decisions are coming the following week"
from college confidential
duke held a similar webinar last year around a week before ED came out
so now I don't know if it will even come out this week lol...
are you international?
no domestic
ur prob fine then. they only ask for idoc if they need it to make ur financial aid package
ur css was prob sufficent for them
ok thanks sm!
u chicago...
Lol
I got another award but it's a really useless one (like third time I've gotten it) is it worth sending to Duke
Especially when the thing is so close
Oh screw it I'm gonna update them there's no harm in it
prob not
if you get deferred you can mention it
if i get into duke i wanna get one of those gothic print sweatshirts
i got one when i went for the carolina open housr but my sis stole it 💔
? what do they look like
Guys they want me fr
rahhhhh 🔥
Lucky Duke's never sent me anything ;-;
The decision date is <t:1734048000:F> in your local time
4 days, 6 hours and 13 minutes until the decision date
Crazy 4 days
Today's gonna go fast cause I got a birthday party
Tomorrow I have to grind on an essay for school and my homeroom is throwing a chipotle lunch so it's also gonna go fairly fast
Tuesday will go slow so RIP
Wednesday will go fast hopefully cause I got chill classes
And then decision day (with mostly chill classes that day)
i got it from mail 😎
It should
At the very least it'll come before the 15th
I'm still willing to bet on Thursday
Lucky duck they ignore me ;-;
I bet they've decided on all of us, these last few days are just for admin stuff
hope they do it next week instead ngl
my heart is not prepared for a decision this week to be completely honest
Honestly so fair
Do what I'm doing and try and fall in love with another school lol
I'm doing that with Cornell + UMich rn
umich is nice, i applied there ea🥰
They should announce the decision date soon
this is so awk why can’t they let us know…😭😭
when did u send it in
no, get it in asap tho
the priority deadline was nov 4th i think
throwing up right now, im gonna be dying from anxiety on decision day
but they’ll still give u aid if they get ur css after
correct
but it prob won’t be w the decision letter
even if u sent it in later than then they should’ve recieved it by now
i talked to an aid officer and its okay if its a bit late, i had emailed bc i thought my CSS would be late a day but they said its fine
yeah but i wonder how late this person completed it
i sent at nov 4th itself
idk why its still showing awaiting
it should have been received by now
i would contact the admissions office if i was you
they arent answering 😭
i thought its gonna take insanely amount of time so i didnt bother asking them
yes, do contact them
ok yall i think its pretty obv decisions aren’t coming out this week😭
why?
why
princeton is on the 12th.. its soon
theres been times where its announced just been 1 day before decisions
they haven’t even removed our checklists
and the webinar thingy for counselors isn’t till wednesday
all of this happened 7-10 before decisions last year
wdym removed out checklists
What’s it mean when it says parent federal tax return was waived
they remove our checklists before decisions
