pallid fern

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

quartz bridge
#

caltech isnt real

#

tbh

pallid fern
#

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

crimson mortar
#

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 😭

quartz bridge
#

my mind is going crazy

crimson mortar
#

Sorry I may be slandering too much

crimson mortar
#

Is the really stupid reason because my favorite studytuber went there

Maybe

pallid fern

I heard even the design school is super stressful

crimson mortar

Prestige does crazy things

eternal mauve
#

i think it's also that some people like that environment

#

so it's good for them

crimson mortar
#

I think some people feel they need that pressure to be productive

pallid fern
eternal mauve
#

like I remember specific a2cers being like I love competitive cutthroat environments when talking about berkeley

quartz bridge
#

pallid fern
quartz bridge
#

the caltech thread has messages?? who the hell applied there

unreal summit
#

alot of people apply caltch

pallid fern
#

when duke ed decisions come out this place is gonna be so active

unreal summit
#

they dont get in but

#

people apply

unreal summit
#

caltceh has 8 supplements or something crazy

quartz bridge
#

such a dumb school to put REA IMO

#

NO OFFENSE

eternal mauve
pallid fern
#

apparently in the past 4 years someone at my school went to caltech x_x

quartz bridge
#

its just that most of the kids they take are given a little boost by being recruited athletes

pallid fern
#

I guess they no longer exist LOL

quartz bridge
#

but also theyre extremely cracked

unreal summit
#

all rea dont boost

pallid fern
#

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

quartz bridge
#

upenn special programs have a lot of supps too

pallid fern
#

plus I do NOT want to take those physics and chem reqs

vocal harness
pallid fern
#

I think purdue honors had a lot of supps

#

Cause I remember complaining about it

#

I think it was purdue at least

quartz bridge
#

i think theyre gonna take away our cheklist tommorow (I THINK)

eternal mauve
pallid fern
#

wait I think they had 2 500 word supps

#

For purdue

#

OR 600 words

#

idk

pallid fern
vocal harness
quartz bridge
#

i have no idea

pallid fern
quartz bridge
#

but they take away cheklists before decisions come out

#

and im thinking tommorow

#

as a guess

pallid fern
quartz bridge
#

im guessing prob the 12th too

pallid fern
#

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

quartz bridge
#

i think youll know before us

pallid fern
#

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??

quartz bridge
#

ohhhhh

#

dont they always email before decisions

pallid fern
#

no not always apparently

quartz bridge
#

its not gonna be surprise

#

they did last year

#

well know

#

prob 2-3 days in advance

pallid fern
#

apparently the email comes a tinyyy bit later

quartz bridge
#

no thats to say decisions are "out"

#

they also send a email before saying when theyll release

#

like days before

pallid fern
#

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

vocal harness

pallid fern

tall plaza
pallid fern

tall plaza
pallid fern
#

I heard that if you get semifinalist it's a good sign

quartz bridge
#

oh my income bracket it like 60-70k pretty sure

pallid fern
#

so either I get in Duke ED and whatever, or I get deferred or rejected then it's a good sign for UNC

quartz bridge
#

so i think ill get tuiton covered regardless if i get in

pallid fern
tall plaza
#

ew UNC

pallid fern
#

LOL I know I feel like if I go to unc I'll be so sad

unreal summit
#

400k?

tall plaza

pallid fern
pallid fern

unreal summit
#

i rmb someone told me they got like 1k

tall plaza
#

atleast we will have a new president when we leave college... we just gotta hope congress blocks all the anti DOE attempts

pallid fern
quartz bridge
#

pallid fern
#

unreal summit

pallid fern
tall plaza
#

pallid fern
quartz bridge
#

bruh my income bracket in the DMV is like crickets

#

most people think under 100k is low income LOL

unreal summit
#

I live where apple is like weather app default location

#

if u know

quartz bridge
#

the cost of living here is so high

unreal summit
#

ye

pallid fern
unreal summit

Seattle is so expensive nowadays too

tall plaza

shit was rough

unreal summit
#

cupertino california

quartz bridge
#

the value of my house has increased by 60% in the last 12 years

quartz bridge
#

yeah my mom is terminally ill rn

#

so she doesnt work

pallid fern
#

ouch I'm sorry

tall plaza
quartz bridge
#

and my father is out of the country trying to get some real estate for more money

unreal summit
#

elesa u mentioned u had matriculate

#

why didnt u do questbridge

pallid fern
#

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)

unreal summit
#

it was my understanding that if ur efc is 0 thats for questbridge

#

stuff

pallid fern
#

Like I honestly respect low income kids who get into high ranking colleges so much

tall plaza
# pallid fern you'll get aid

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)

quartz bridge
#

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)

tall plaza
#

and i got a twin going to college same time as me

quartz bridge
#

they usualyl reject if ur income is not low low

pallid fern
#

makes sense

unreal summit
#

cant u ed and then questbridge?

#

also isnt questbridge 65k lol

tall plaza
#

theres only 2 including me in my senior class applying duke ED

unreal summit
#

my bad I meant cant u questbridge than ed

quartz bridge
#

yeah but thats higher than most kids who get accepted

tall plaza
#

maybe thats because were only like 55 people

unreal summit
#

cuz not matching in questbridge isnt a rejection

quartz bridge
#

its usually under 40k for questbridge

unreal summit
#

oh

quartz bridge
#

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

tall plaza
#

writing browns supps was hel

quartz bridge
#

that QB deadline was NOT being met

unreal summit
#

i c

quartz bridge
#

my advisor tried to convince me but i felt guilty

unreal summit
#

ngl my school had questbridge people but i think they all just abused it

quartz bridge
#

cause i knew i had a clear number 1

#

and it jsut made more sense to ED

quartz bridge
#

are their parents doing tax fraud LMAO

unreal summit
#

some business loss shit

#

prolly

quartz bridge
#

makes sense

#

my parents own a small business too and some days are STRESSFUL

unreal summit
#

I dont think its fraud its just the line between loopholes

#

i dont think that inhernetly is bad using loopholes

pallid fern
#

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

unreal summit
#

but i think doing questbridge

#

is pretty fucked

quartz bridge
#

theres a lot of international kids who do tax fraud

pallid fern
quartz bridge
#

well idk if thats true

pallid fern
#

I feel bad enough applying to robertson cause I can afford college even though robertson isn't financial based x_x

quartz bridge
#

cause they get 100% fin aid anywhere need blind

pallid fern
#

And I'm doing it so I can save up for grad school

quartz bridge
#

but QB is special to them

pallid fern
#

Yeah def

unreal summit
#

i respect questbridge ppl hella

quartz bridge
#

there was this duke questie on my FYP and she was so cracked

#

1580 SAT, 15 APS, 4.0 ETC

pallid fern
#

I just respect low income kids who have the ambition and talent to apply to good colleges

quartz bridge
#

people who say questies dont deserve it are jealous

pallid fern
#

That's what my mom said and I had a full on argument with her

quartz bridge
pallid fern
#

She said a lot of questies fake it which yeah maybe some do but I think the vast majority deserve it

tall plaza
#

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 🙏

quartz bridge
#

but the fact that hes tryna learn makes me so happy

#

hes coming back in time for deciisons next week

quartz bridge
#

oh wait nvm

pallid fern
pallid fern
tall plaza
quartz bridge
#

I got a 1510 on my november sat as a last ditch shot so i submitted it

quartz bridge
tall plaza
#

i got a.... 1280... sadkek

tall plaza
pallid fern
#

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

quartz bridge
#

its okay youll still cook though

#

35% of the ED class last year was Test optional

pallid fern
#

Yep test scores aren't the be all end all

quartz bridge
#

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
pallid fern
#

It's still skewed, all test optional schools are skewed somewhat

quartz bridge
#

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

pallid fern
#

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 😭

quartz bridge
#

omg the other duke ed girl from my school started following the duke2029 page...

pallid fern
#

I have the images but not the links ;-;

pallid fern
quartz bridge
#

the main one

#

yk the one where the most peple post

pallid fern
#

#

A lot of them look like college services

quartz bridge
#

the one w like 2600 followers

#

thats the only one that isnt hacked ATP LMAO

pallid fern
#

And a lot of the others have posts from like 7 years ago

#

Is it @duke2029_?

quartz bridge
#

#

BYEEE

pallid fern
pallid fern
#

goodnight!!

unreal summit
#

good luck yall

#

ngl its ideal if u dont think about it but i get its hard

pallid fern
#

I've been counting down the days x_x

quartz bridge
#

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

tall plaza
#

😭

quartz bridge
#

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

pallid fern
#

I have no idea

pallid fern
#

go to sleep

#

byeeeee goodnight

harsh heath
#

Any reason why the speculated date on the a2c changed from the 12th to the 21?

buoyant drum
#

last year was on the 14th

#

which was a thursday

harsh heath
#

Yea it’s been 12 the whole time

#

But today it switched

buoyant drum
#

and then this year the 12 will be that thursday

harsh heath
#

So I thought maybe something was weird

buoyant drum
harsh heath
#

On the decision calendar

buoyant drum
#

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

harsh heath
#

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

buoyant drum
#

yeah same

unreal summit
#

I dont think its usually on sunday

#

and I've seen everyoen perdict 12th since its the 2nd thursday of december

#

idk tho

quartz bridge
#

its coming out before the 15th

#

unless they changed it

scarlet quarry
#

On the questbridge letter it said late december

#

did it not?

quartz bridge
#

No I read it

#

pretty sure it didnt

#

thats formal admissions packet stuff which they give to all applicants

#

who get accepted

scarlet quarry
#

Gotcha

#

Dec 12 good luck people

#

my friend applied I hope she gets in

quartz bridge
#

if it comes out on the 21st im gonna be mad

buoyant drum
#

rela

quartz bridge
#

why tell us mid december its basically around the same apps last yearmeltingsob

#

i dont think i could handle 17 more days of this

unreal summit
#

I do not think it will be dec 21st

#

I think 12th is very likely

quartz bridge
#

me too. It'll prob be btw. 12-15 with 12th the most likely

buoyant drum
#

Imma just not check 👍

quartz bridge
#

wait guys

#

the qb letter last year said the same thing

#

i checked

#

we're good

harsh heath
#

Oh wow u smart

#

yea hopefully someone who runs the a2c calendar just did a type or smth

#

Typed 21 instead of 12

quartz bridge
#

they prob saw that qb letter and got confused

#

it was the 12 before

harsh heath
#

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

quartz bridge
#

i mean duke didnt confirm it last year until 3 days before

#

we're okay

#

can someone @ a mod to fix the a2c calendar

pallid fern
quartz bridge
#

ivies dont release on the same day for ED/SCEA

pallid fern
pallid fern
#

I can barely take a week more, waiting over two weeks would literally kill me x_x

quartz bridge
#

wait

#

how do we summon a mod

#

to change the calendar

pallid fern
#

@eternal mauve

#

Can you change the Duke speculated decision date from 21 to 12?

#

We think someone made a typo

dapper willow
#

We have a Modmail

#

@obsidian gyro

#

She also doesn’t have perms to do it

quartz bridge
#

ok i dmed them

#

we should be good

quartz bridge
#

no panic anymore

scarlet quarry
dapper willow
#

They are exactly what the letters said

scarlet quarry
#

I'm so nervous for them

quartz bridge
#

im nervous for me

#

but excited

scarlet quarry
quartz bridge
#

they usually take 50% of kids who apply with around my stats in my district

#

hoping one of them is me

quartz bridge
lofty pelican
#

Duke basically always releases Thursday

scarlet quarry
quartz bridge
#

i would be more nervous with the increased apps but even last year they took the same amount as years before

scarlet quarry
#

When I apply Duke I'll be applying ECE since I'm pretty stereotypical but we ball

quartz bridge
#

its always been pretty stagnant

#

4/8 who had my at least my gpa + SAT last year got in

scarlet quarry
#

my friend got waitlisted with a 1570 and pretty strong ECs

#

but he got Penn so

quartz bridge
#

ahhhh

#

yeah RD is brutal

#

unpredicatble

scarlet quarry
#

Yeah got waitlisted by Cornell and Princeton too

#

pretty unfortunate he was actually super stacked

dapper willow
quartz bridge
#

one of the kids at my school got waitlisted everywhere last year

#

the 17th?

dapper willow
#

A Tuesday yes

scarlet quarry
#

he's the type of person where I wouldn't be surprised if he swept, pretty high impact crap

quartz bridge
#

columbia come out on the 18th too which is p random

dapper willow
#

Yep

quartz bridge
dapper willow
#

Point being I would not lock in the 12th

scarlet quarry
quartz bridge
#

no fgli status

lofty pelican
scarlet quarry
#

Did u see that cracked guy on chanceme who applied Duke ED

dapper willow
scarlet quarry
#

1600 USACO plat USAMO I think

lofty pelican
#

It’s gonna be like Thursday Tuesday or Friday

scarlet quarry
#

I was shocked

#

Legacy too

prob just tryna feel good abt themself

#

there are so many kids who lie there i dont look at that sub

scarlet quarry
#

like a 3.5 or 3.6

lofty pelican
quartz bridge
#

that seems hella fabricated i cant lie

#

but even if it was real it's one person

scarlet quarry
#

He was too locked in on olys so

quartz bridge
#

and they cant take every legacy

#

the legacies are lowk in hunger games

scarlet quarry
#

I know a guy from my school applying Duke who I hope does not get in

quartz bridge
#

oh! a sweet girl from my ap french also applied ED

#

obv wish nothing bad for her

scarlet quarry
#

cause he has connections with duke AOs

#

Don't want him to get in when he doesn't rlly deserve it

quartz bridge
#

yeah thats annoying

#

but at the same time i dont think they would admit him if he wasnt qualified

scarlet quarry
#

Yeah and he prolly isn't

#

He's taking precalc in 12th grade

#

I'd be surprised

quartz bridge
#

yeah i dont think you would have to worry

#

they have legacy kids they would prioritize over him

unreal summit
#

im hella confused]

#

the speculated time is dec 12th?

eternal mauve
#

?

unreal summit
#

sorry wait

#

yday it was 21st

#

but today its 12th again

#

I was confused bc it swapped between the two

quartz bridge
#

i think its because i just asked them to change it on dm

#

it was 21st like 30 mins ago

unreal summit
#

okay

quartz bridge
#

they said we dont have sufficent evidence but theyll change it anyway

#

lol

unreal summit
#

theres hella schools on dec 12th

quartz bridge
#

#

#

they still haven't removed our checklist tho

unreal summit

unreal summit
quartz bridge
#

#

its def coming out on the 12th for them based on the likely letter recruited athletes recieved

dapper willow
#

Cornell is

#

Also I asked Harvard students they said the single tiktok out there abt the letters is suspicious

unreal summit
#

quartz bridge

weary yacht

tall plaza

#

207 is the best section in the higher level

weary yacht

tall plaza
#

weary yacht
#

harsh heath
#

omg im trying so hard to get a tyler ticket

#

prices just keep going up

pallid fern
#

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

merry harbor
pallid fern
#

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

merry harbor
pallid fern
#

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

merry harbor
quartz bridge
#

i hope i dont get deffered

#

i dont want to hold on to false hope

merry harbor
#

ik someone who was deferred from Cornell and then wait-listed 🤧.
she almost died from false hope 😭

quartz bridge
#

i wouldnt be able to handle that

#

i wonder why they havent removed our checklists yet

#

they did by the 4th last year

merry harbor
pallid fern
eternal mauve
pallid fern
#

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

quartz bridge
#

well its not confirmed yet

#

we could be very well waiting 2 more weeks

pallid fern
#

they said by the 15th so at latest it'll be next sunday

unreal summit
#

who said by the 15th lol

#

i havent seen that anywhere

eternal mauve
#

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

unreal summit
#

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

eternal mauve
#

It’ll probably be then

unreal summit
#

true

pallid fern
#

okay so we're looking at the 9th for a potential email

eternal mauve
#

Most of the schools I applied to last year the predictions were accurate except uw and UCI iirc

pallid fern
#

so almost always thursday

quartz bridge
#

i sent it a long time ago

#

2 years ago it was on a saturday tho so idk anymore

pallid fern
#

There are Duke ED likely letters apparently 😭

unreal summit
#

ya i've seen it

#

before

#

the acutal letter idk if its that post or another

pallid fern
#

Okay apparently it's just for athletes that makes me feel a lot better

quartz bridge
#

that kid is lying he never gave anyone proof

#

those "likelies" are for athletes

pallid fern
pallid fern
#

That makes sense

quartz bridge
#

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

pallid fern
#

Yeah

thorn sinew

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

dapper willow
#

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

pallid fern
#

RIP nvm then

#

But the 12th is probably still the most likely

dapper willow
#

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

dapper willow
#

Zero effort mfs

#

They haven’t edited any of their dates

#

Yale is incorrect

#

Columbia is incorrect

#

A bunch are

harsh heath
#

😂😂

#

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

pallid fern
#

A2C > random college counseling service

pallid fern
#

Maybe to give them more flexibility

#

In case something comes up and they gotta delay it

dapper willow
#

yeah famu has delayed before

Cornell ED Decision Date

The decision date is <t:1734048000:F> in your local time
6 days, 2 hours and 47 minutes until the decision date

pallid fern
#

they have the same decision date (and probably time) as us

quartz bridge
#

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

dapper willow
#

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

cursive ferry
#

Where u seeing tineo college prep guy’s predictions?

dapper willow
#

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

unreal summit
#

isnt hte mit time having something to do with math

#

or is that for rd

dapper willow
#

Yes

#

Usually

#

12:12 I think they only did bc they released on December 12th

unreal summit
#

someoen I know whos getting accpeted this year said its like some time that is also the day

dapper willow
#

But the other times I’ve seen are 1:59, 3:14, and 6:28

unreal summit
#

oh ya

cursive ferry
#

Duke still Dec 12 then.. pins and needles! Argh

unreal summit
#

prolly dec 12th 7 pm est

#

best perdict rn

#

duke releases their shit like 3 days before the date

#

so idk

pallid fern
#

6:28 is common

#

double pi

pallid fern
#

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 😭

merry harbor

willow gale
#

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

weary yacht
#

i fw charlie brown heavy

quartz bridge
#

it just means they need more info for fin aid. admissions works separately

willow gale
#

i didnt get a single interview

#

and ik people from my country who got interviews for duke

quartz bridge
#

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

willow gale
#

yep

#

im cooked

#

then

quartz bridge
#

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

pallid fern
pallid fern
#

Dw you're okay

merry harbor
#

Shipping cost is something else tbh 😕
although I could just get it when I come over or something

pallid fern
merry harbor
harsh heath
#

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?

pallid fern
#

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 ;-;

willow gale
harsh heath
#

I’d love to get a custom piece that seems sick

pallid fern
#

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

kindred sparrow
#

guys i havent started

#

are the Duke supps hard

merry harbor
pallid fern
kindred sparrow
#

ah ok

pallid fern
#

The Why Duke is chill cause a lot of colleges have that prompt so you can copy paste

kindred sparrow
#

ok im going to do them in a day

pallid fern
#

And then there were a few supps

kindred sparrow
#

bruh what

pallid fern
pallid fern
kindred sparrow
#

isnt the exact point of why us is you cant copy paste??

pallid fern
#

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

kindred sparrow
#

ah ok i was gonna say

pallid fern
#

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

pallid fern
#

I just added 3 colleges to my list so yippee

#

more supps

deft cloud
#

I figured it out maybe but

quartz bridge
#

"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...

#

tame viper
#

ok thanks sm!

willow gale
pallid fern
#

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

eternal mauve
#

if you get deferred you can mention it

pallid fern

willow gale
