Duke University (2024-2025)

[quartz bridge]

im taking stats rn it's pretty free, albeit a lot different from what i expected

[pallid fern]

Yeah first semester stats was chill, but second semester I went to a different school where the stats curriculum was basically self studying, and even the self studying material is worse than literally reading a textbook mindlessly

So I just grinded for a few weeks and took the test

[narrow raft]

I meant that for sororities lol

[quartz bridge]

my stats teacher just missed 3 weeks of school cause his dog was ill

[pallid fern]

I have a feeling I'm gonna get a 3 or maybe even a 2 on my grades section on my application x_x

[pallid fern]

ouch

my calc bc teacher hasn't been at school for like 1.5 months cause she got a terrible concussion

[quartz bridge]

and the ap bio teacher at our school didn't miss any time after the other ap bio teacher passed away 1 week ago. and they were besties

[pallid fern]

jeez

that sucks

[quartz bridge]

i mean it depends on ur rigor

if ur challenging yourself it won't be that bad

[pallid fern]

They grade rigor and grades separately I believe

[narrow raft]

100%

[quartz bridge]

true

but i don't think you'll get a 2

[pallid fern]

hopefully, I took pretty much max rigor and I think my ecs are okay

[quartz bridge]

i'll probably get a 4- or something

[bright prawn]

Quick question to see if you get in or not

WNS or TND

[pallid fern]

That's pretty good

[pallid fern]

uhhhh

no idea LOL

[quartz bridge]

taco how much do they care about first quarter grades

[bright prawn]

Failed

[pallid fern]

RIP

!chance duke

[bright prawn]

Semester

A lot

[quartz bridge]

i got covid and the flu in the first quarter

[pallid fern]

hey not bad

[quartz bridge]

no for ed they ask for quarter

[pallid fern]

ouch

[bright prawn]

I didn’t ed

Idk

[quartz bridge]

i got a couple of A- in like stupid non major classes

[bright prawn]

They care about senior year grsdes

[golden herald]

shooters

[quartz bridge]

i am taking 7 AP's though

i was just so behind when i got better

[bright prawn]

Whether you can balance grades and applications

[bright prawn]

Wrong because it has been closed the last 5 weeks

And will be

[pallid fern]

wednesday night shooters, google has no answers to the second

[bright prawn]

For the foreseeable future

[quartz bridge]

i couldn't bring them all up sigh

[bright prawn]

Can’t be telling y’all about the life before you get in

[quartz bridge]

i already know like 10 Duke people in the class of 2028

[bright prawn]

Who

[quartz bridge]

bc of a summer program

[bright prawn]

I prob know them

[pallid fern]

they're reopening spring semester apparently

[bright prawn]

They are

[quartz bridge]

well i dont wanna say their names

[bright prawn]

But it gets old

[bright prawn]

Dm me

[quartz bridge]

but one girl was who sent me her admissions file

[narrow raft]

Yes it went up from 50 to 100 to around 113 this year. ED

[quartz bridge]

maybe if i get in

[pallid fern]

Eh either way I doubt I'll be going to shooters

[bright prawn]

It was in reference to the change arc

[quartz bridge]

i had 2 '28's help me with my duke app

[bright prawn]

Not qb

[quartz bridge]

and then my matriculate advisor

[bright prawn]

You should go once

[quartz bridge]

i hope my common app touched their hearts

[pallid fern]

maybe once if I have a good friend group willing to go with me but I've heard too many stories of people getting groped or drugged in bars 😭

[quartz bridge]

i acc cried writing that ngl

[narrow raft]

I need it nooooow ‘til Monday!

[quartz bridge]

you better feel touched duke AO's

[pallid fern]

plus the party scene isn't really for me

[pallid fern]

what was your topic?

[forest cradle]

yuh

[narrow raft]

That’s awesome to know

[bright prawn]

Shooters isn’t a bar

[pallid fern]

don't know if this is true but if it is then I am NOT going

[quartz bridge]

i don't wanna be cliche but I literally don't think anybody else wrote about this lol....

[forest cradle]

yo @pallid fern do you think if the vandy portal is still open rn for scholarships theyll still take one if i submit it? tbh i dont really know if they will lol

[bright prawn]

It’s a tiny cramped dance floor

[quartz bridge]

like most of u prob won't know what it even means

[pallid fern]

isn't the deadline dec 1? I doubt it

[forest cradle]

the portal is still open even now

[pallid fern]

I mean no harm in submitting if your app is ready but still

[bright prawn]

The owner is evil though

[forest cradle]

for the scholarships

[quartz bridge]

someone who got rejected emory ed today is doing vandy ed2

how interesting

[pallid fern]

oh wait nightclub right

[forest cradle]

i asked them before they said a couple days after deadline was ok if portal was still open for scholarships

[pallid fern]

close enough

[pallid fern]

then do it

[narrow raft]

Crap my q1 Calc BC grade is my first B+

[forest cradle]

and i sbumittied the one for cornelisu vandy on dec 5

deadline was dec 1 tho

so for that one i should be fine? but idk

but the othes ones i havent done yet

so idk waht to do what do u think

[quartz bridge]

girl i know who you are

[forest cradle]

asking bc i saw u applied for them a while back also

[bright prawn]

Yes

[narrow raft]

Yes, a little more strict but looks awesome.

[forest cradle]

what would you suggest imma jus do that cuz im indecisvie af

[pallid fern]

email them

[pallid fern]

I'm not even applying vandy, idk why you're asking me 😭

[forest cradle]

wait what

lol

[pallid fern]

yeah either way not my scene, I do not wanna get groped

[pallid fern]

LOL yeah that's why I was confused why you were asking me

[quartz bridge]

lowk i think grades are important but like everything they matter more in context

if u get a few B's it won't kill ur app

[unreal summit]

ngl thats cope grades are the most important thing in the process. idk about kill

[narrow raft]

I’m taking it now!

[quartz bridge]

i know a girl who got duke ed from my county last year (with the crazy low acceptance rate) with a lower GPA

[unreal summit]

but they are very very important

[bright prawn]

Apps are holistic

[bright prawn]

She may have had some extreme circumstance

[quartz bridge]

she didn't

her GPA was still good just below average what usually gets accepted from around here

[teal basalt]

kinda nervous i have a 4.6, and i had an a- on my quarterly.. i got it back up a day after my counselor submitted…

[narrow raft]

Me too and I’m Pratt. Wishing I applied Trinity for %

[quartz bridge]

she had very good ec's that showcased her passion

[quartz bridge]

lol ur scared about 1 A- i have 3 on my first Q report

[pallid fern]

what gpa?

[bright prawn]

Props to her then

[quartz bridge]

GPA isn't standardized

it's not really comparable unless ur from my county

[pallid fern]

ah true

My gpa on a 100 point scale is okay though

95/100

But it's cause I have a few grade inflating classes like art classes

STEM classes really screwed me over x_x

[quartz bridge]

and when i was looking at the naviance equivalent at my county people with lower GPA's have def gotten accepted. One was so much lower i couldn't even believe it lmao

and the 2 kids who got accepted from my school were both much lower comparatively (1 ED and 1 RD)

[pallid fern]

this is the data from my school

so my GPA is SLIGHTLY below average

but good enough I guess

[pallid fern]

average GPA + test scores

that got accepted to duke

from my school

[quartz bridge]

the naviance equivalent uses post senior year GPA's

so it isn't really usable at this moment

[pallid fern]

Ah

anyways I should go eat dinner

And finish my hw x_x

[quartz bridge]

ohhh pst kid

[pallid fern]

I have not started studying for my finals so I really need to start 😭

[quartz bridge]

its like 10 here lmao

[pallid fern]

yep lol

[quartz bridge]

we don't have finals!!

[pallid fern]

what lucky duck

[narrow raft]

U go to a hill school?

[quartz bridge]

actually for my ap chem class last year we did

[pallid fern]

anyways cya!

[quartz bridge]

nah im JK

LOL

[narrow raft]

Lol. Sooooo many people from my school applied ED to Duke.

[quartz bridge]

um i was referring to the time here

but rip

also why tf did IU invite me to a student groupchat, I haven't even gotten my decision back LOL

[narrow raft]

Maybe they really really want u

[quartz bridge]

yeah no

im just an above average kelley applicant

[narrow raft]

What’s Kelley

[quartz bridge]

their business school

its pretty good

[narrow raft]

Ahhhh I’m so stem

I don’t think I can make it til Monday

[quartz bridge]

omg why is the groupchat so active

this better means im getting accepted soon

[unreal summit]

everyone gets itt

[frail sluice]

Same

[quartz bridge]

i just joined a prospective duke students snap group??

why do they have a whole gc before getting accepted

😭

[harsh heath]

What were the highlights from the counselor meeting?

Anything surprising

[narrow raft]

Can’t do that yet. Superstitious this at least feels more chill

[short zenith]

!duke

[flat junco]

reminder

[willow gale]

im so cooked

[untold flume]

thats crazyy, it would suck to be in there and not get in 😭😭

[willow gale]

why is it only snapchat

instagram exists ffs

[unreal summit]

!duke

[tall plaza]

monday is just gonne be doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom

thank god i passed the first semester with all As and my lowest grade first quarter was a 95 in physics 😭

[quartz bridge]

doesn’t ur school not have any A-‘s though 😭

oh how i wish

[tall plaza]

i got a 87 in physics 1 last year im so cooked 💔

[tall plaza]

no we go by number grade

[quartz bridge]

oh then ur chillin

[tall plaza]

my lowest was a 91 this semester in physics

[quartz bridge]

all of my grades are gonna be fixed this semester though. i hope they don’t care about quarter grades THAT much

[tall plaza]

everyone got cooked on the circuits test cuz we werent even halfway through the unit but had to test bc the semester was ending and i got a 70

[tall plaza]

i mean.. they use first quarter not semester

for ED

[quartz bridge]

yeah but i’m guessing they care about the past 3 years more than 1/4 of a year 😭

[tall plaza]

maybee

[quartz bridge]

im taking 7 ap classes this year and once i got covid i literally could not keep up. So i had 3 A-‘s in ap lit, csp, and stats

the rest of my grades are fine though i guess

[tall plaza]

I COOKED

[quartz bridge]

duke is so nitpicky with grades i still might be cooked

[tall plaza]

ive got only 3 this year because non of the other ones looked interesting to me

couldve done ap bio instead of honors anatomy but i wanna go into prosthesis so i thought anatomy was more useful

[quartz bridge]

ap bio was my first ever ap class

the horror

my teacher just passed away last week too 😭

[tall plaza]

mine was ap human geo...

fucking hated that class, loved the teacher

[quartz bridge]

i still don’t know what they’re doing about test scores this year. like if u go test optional do they just care about the rest of ur app more?

who knows

we’ll find out monday 🙂

[tall plaza]

ive had 4 Bs since freshman year im so cooked

alg 2 h, apush, ap physics 1, and ap humangeo

[quartz bridge]

those are all hard classes mostly

[tall plaza]

i went test optional 😭

[quartz bridge]

i think dukes one of those schools where they really don’t care

[tall plaza]

85, 88, 87, 89 in that order

[quartz bridge]

they’ll just use the academics you gave to evaluate you

[tall plaza]

everything else is As

[quartz bridge]

OK GOOD LUCK

i’m going to sleep

[tall plaza]

😭 i should sleep soon too cuz i keep raging from fortnite..

[quartz bridge]

i have a-‘s in ap bio, calc ab, apush, ap lang, and ap world

[tall plaza]

manifesting for you fr

[quartz bridge]

you too

[pallid fern]

I got that exact grade too last year lol

Except it was physics honors, not even AP ;-;

I'm on this server too much

I am literally addicted

[tall plaza]

may or may not have gotten a 63 on the midterm...

[pallid fern]

I need to touch grass 😭

[pallid fern]

LOL I've gotten grades like that on a few too many math tests

[tall plaza]

AHHHH

[pallid fern]

I'm not doing that badly in calc bc this year though surprisingly

I love my calc teacher

[tall plaza]

im dooming all weekend at work

[pallid fern]

Best math teacher I've had

[pallid fern]

I need something to keep me occupied 😭

[tall plaza]

my best math teacher was middle school and she still tutors my sister

[pallid fern]

I think I'm gonna go ice skating to keep my mind off stuff

[pallid fern]

ooh

[tall plaza]

i wishh

[pallid fern]

my mom said she'll pay me to teach my brother cause she's sick of teaching him herself LOL

[pallid fern]

I love ice skating

[tall plaza]

omg 😭

[pallid fern]

I kinda suck at it though

[tall plaza]

i do too but its rarely at our city center

[pallid fern]

I wanna invest in a proper pair of ice skates sometime

[pallid fern]

my city makes a temporary ice rink every year and it's finally up

[tall plaza]

WWW

i wish my city was that cool but ofc its not cuz nothing is cool in SC

[pallid fern]

I wanna learn how to figure skate so bad 😭

[tall plaza]

girl id bust my ass 😭

[pallid fern]

ouch

[pallid fern]

LOL you do not want to know how many times I've fallen

but I think I got addicted to watching olympic figure skating and now I wanna learn

It's so fun

[tall plaza]

😭 i love roller blading but i cant do inlines, only 2x2s

ice skating i gotta relearn every time i go 😭

[pallid fern]

Honestly I feel like it would be cool to learn how to roller blade too

[pallid fern]

same LOL but each time it's a bit faster

[tall plaza]

yess

[pallid fern]

Last year I was learning crossovers

[tall plaza]

i havent gone in like 5 years though...

[pallid fern]

Duke has a figure skating club

I'm gonna join if I get in

[tall plaza]

bro olympic skating is next level insane

[pallid fern]

I KNOW it's so cool to watch

[tall plaza]

like wtf.. how does your body do that

[pallid fern]

Like I'm not expecting myself to get to that level but I want to be good enough to feel like I'm flying

[tall plaza]

like i cant even touch my toes my fatass self

[pallid fern]

what I really wanna do is go to canada or somewhere else with a large frozen lake and fly over the ice

[tame viper]

does duke have a rink somewhere near campus?

[tall plaza]

how tf you doing that

[pallid fern]

like 30 min away

So not near but not far either

[tall plaza]

i wanna go snowboarding so bad, ive never been

30mins aint nun

[pallid fern]

I honestly hated exercising my entire life but ice skating is the only form of exercise that I not only don't dislike but actually love

[tall plaza]

😭

[pallid fern]

I've been skiing and it's kinda similar in a way to ice skating, but I prefer skating

[tame viper]

havent gone snowboarding before but skiiing is so fun

[tall plaza]

ye

[pallid fern]

Not really good at skiing though lol

I just hate the feeling of having to wait ages to ski down the slope once, whereas on skates I feel a lot more freedom

[tame viper]

i feel like i’d actually be habitually skiing as a sport if i wasn’t living in a state that gets zero snow

[tame viper]

trueee

[tall plaza]

i didnt start weightlifting until this semester cuz i had to take a weights class as a pe cred and found out im decently strong for never really working out besides cardio 😭

[pallid fern]

ouch I have to drive a couple of hours which isn't bad but it's annoying and I hate having to bundle up and waddle like a penguin and be both cold and sweaty at the same time

[tall plaza]

i havent seen snow in like 6 years..

[pallid fern]

I was at a family friend's house and they had this weight lifting setup thingy (dunno what it's called) and I learned that I can barely bench press anything

[pallid fern]

wait that actually sucks

Snow >>

[tall plaza]

😭

[pallid fern]

I think the best thing about going to Duke is that I get warm weather for fall + spring, and I get to go home in the winter to see snow and to escape the heat in the summer

[tall plaza]

my max bench is 195lbs and my leg is 750lbs 😭

[pallid fern]

yeah they kept insisting I try so I relented and whatever I lifted it was not a lot at all

[pallid fern]

my bench is probably like 30 or something LOL

Idk

[tall plaza]

duke weather is the same as my home cuz im only 3 hrs away 💔

[pallid fern]

It wasn't a lot though

[tall plaza]

thats not even the bar girl 😭

[pallid fern]

oh wow pretty close

[pallid fern]

okay so maybe more than that

I was like

idk

2 things down

however much that is

[tall plaza]

bars range from 35-45

[tame viper]

ive never used a bar that wasnt 45 interesting

[pallid fern]

yeah idk how much it was but they teased me for being weak

[tall plaza]

i think i used a 45 all semester

[pallid fern]

I am ridiculously weak 😭

That's why figure skating is the best form of exercise for me lol

[tall plaza]

gotta get those gains

im more built for a hockey goalie

or lacrosse goalie..

[tame viper]

pro figure skating competitions are so fun to watch

[tall plaza]

they hurt my head

[pallid fern]

yeah I love them

Honestly I'm seriously considering investing in a pair of skates but I'm so scared that I'm gonna waste like a few hundred dollars only to quit

But I can't properly skate with rental skates

[tame viper]

you see all these crazy jumps they do with names like a “triple axel into a quadruple lutz” or something and they do it like its the most natural thing in the world

[pallid fern]

I knowww

honestly I wanna do so many things at duke

I wanna learn to sing

Learn to skate

Learn to dance

[tame viper]

i think it’s a worthwhile investment if you wanna learn properly, no?

[tall plaza]

they speakin in code bro

[pallid fern]

And learn to draw

[pallid fern]

true true

[pallid fern]

LOL I may not understand it all but I've watched enough to know the basics of the secret figure skating code

[tall plaza]

i wanna learn how to crochet so i can crochet little teddy bears 😭

[tame viper]

omg me too i need to learn how to sing and draw fr

[pallid fern]

ooh that sounds cool

I've tried sewing and knitting before and I learned that I do NOT have the patience for it x_x

[tall plaza]

im not a super big arts guy tho so im kind of scared

[pallid fern]

hey if we both end up at duke we should sign up for classes together

[tame viper]

your rink near you prolly offers lessons for beginners and stuff so

[tall plaza]

im suprised i hate english class considering all i do in my free time is read novels and books 😭

[pallid fern]

I'm a design major that can't draw so you have less to be scared of than me lol

[tame viper]

we definitely should

[pallid fern]

Yeah I've mostly been learning off youtube

[tall plaza]

😭 well im a EE major who got a C on his circuits test...

oopss..

[pallid fern]

English class is very different from reading, like being forced to read a book that you aren't interested in and dissect what a sentence means is very different from reading for enjoyment

[tall plaza]

true..

[pallid fern]

we had to do a practice AP lit test and I learned that I am incapable of understanding poems lol

[tame viper]

you’ll get the content taught much better at duke i feel

[tall plaza]

i hope, ive heard APs are harder than most college classes

FUCK COLLEGEBOARD

[tame viper]

prolly not at duke for stem/pratt

[tall plaza]

yeah prolly not

[pallid fern]

yeah definitely, teachers matter a LOT, like in math class this year I feel like the content is so much easier because my teacher is great

[pallid fern]

not necessarily tbh

[tame viper]

at least according to the four ish people i know at duke rn

[tall plaza]

yeah im not expecting it to be any easier than now, most likely itll be harder but i think im ready for it

[tame viper]

true my calc teacher was such a goat and i love her for it

[tall plaza]

me with my CS teacher, hes the only reason I still took CS classes instead of the reqs

[pallid fern]

My school is known for having hard english classes so in english I'll probably be chillling, but STEM classes I will struggle in

[tame viper]

@tall plaza im assuming you applied pratt then?

[tall plaza]

he promised me an LOR freshman year 😭

[tall plaza]

yep, for EE

[tame viper]

what’re you thinking of majoring in?

[tall plaza]

i wanna go into medical robotics like prosthesis and artificial organs

[pallid fern]

program 2 -> design but computational media as a second choice

I'm assuming you're physics? lol

[tame viper]

ooh that’s actually so cool lol

[tall plaza]

ikrr, im really excited

[tame viper]

that sounds interesting wao

[tall plaza]

i hope everything works out in the end 😭

[tame viper]

yep yep, wanna do major/minor in CS and east asian studies too

[pallid fern]

why not biomedical engineering then?

[tame viper]

me too! monday looming over us

[pallid fern]

ooh nice

[tame viper]

!duke

[pallid fern]

yes 😭 I've been counting down the days

[tame viper]

aww

[pallid fern]

so many people have asked about my status lol

[tall plaza]

BME isnt very fit for a bachelors and im really interested in circuits and the insides of stuff

[pallid fern]

that makes sense, you can always double major though (but I heard that's hard in pratt)

[tall plaza]

yeah my dream setup was a EE/BME double major with a linguistics minor 😭

idk how that would work out tho

[pallid fern]

wait that sounds super cool

I think the coolest thing about duke is that everyone wants to double major or minor lol

[tall plaza]

ik 😭

i went from CS to MechE to CompE to EE to BME to EE/BME 😭

[pallid fern]

I ruled out schools like columbia cause the core makes it so hard to double major or just take random classes

[tame viper]

true! and how duke makes it so easy to pick up additional majors

[tall plaza]

i applied columbia mainly cuz its in nyc...

[tame viper]

need so little credits compared to other top schools

[pallid fern]

LOL in the past month I started migrating from UX design to more general human-centered design (so maybe I can get into service design in the future)

[tall plaza]

you got this

[pallid fern]

yeah definitely, kinda annoyed how the new curriculum makes us take extra foreign language classes but it's fine

[pallid fern]

makes sense lol

I wanna do a certificate in PPE and M&M

[tame viper]

i heard about that, didn’t look into it
what’s the deal around that

[pallid fern]

And base my program 2 major off a variety of subjects

[tall plaza]

where else did yall apply or plan to?

[pallid fern]

So I can hit everything I want to study

[tall plaza]

i love learnign languages so im fine with that

[pallid fern]

they just wanna make us suffer 😭

in all seriousness though it's overall not bad, they added constellation courses (basically 2-3 courses in a sequence iirc) for freshman year which is slightly annoying but fine, century courses (basically advertised as if a student were to only ever take 1 course in a certain subject, it should be that course) and more foreign language reqs

[tall plaza]

i wanna start learning german again and maybe korean... im not sure

[pallid fern]

I think those are the only changes

The others I don't really care about, but I am NOT a foreign language girlie

[pallid fern]

some of my other top choices are cornell, umich, yale, udub, and UNC

what about you?

[tame viper]

i have ap credits in both chinese and japanese so hopefully its not as painful for me lol

[pallid fern]

I honestly admire that so much, I wish I could do that

[pallid fern]

You still have to take 2 courses minimum

I'm planning on just doing chinese cause my chinese should be a lot better than it is and it's kinda embarrassing 😭

Plus I heard intro courses are a lot of work

[tall plaza]

brown, columbia, gt, stanford, upenn, olin, lehigh, and then my in states that i got into alr

[tame viper]

are you a heritage chinese speaker?

[pallid fern]

Yeah I'm chinese lol but I was born here so my chinese should not be this bad 😭

and after the ap test all the chinese zoomed out of my head

I can barely read or write now 😭

[tame viper]

cause ik duke has special classes for heritage speakers and it should be pretty tailored to your needs

[pallid fern]

ooh nice, gl for those!

[tall plaza]

im worried about wanting to learn korean cuz i dont wanna be seen as like a koreaboo or sumn..

[pallid fern]

Yeah I definitely want to get better

[pallid fern]

nah you'll be fine

Honestly it sounds so cool to learn different languages, my brain just refuses to learn and I'd rather take classes in other subjects

[tall plaza]

😭

[pallid fern]

I always thought it would be cool to learn italian

[tall plaza]

i like exploring new stuff, my music taste is all over the place in regards to languag

[pallid fern]

I took french in middle school but I forgot all of it by now

[pallid fern]

yeah that's why I hate schools with core curriculums lol, I wanna explore so many different classes

[tall plaza]

ive taken a year of german and spanish + french once a week in elementary school aswell as 3yrs of french in high schoo

[tall plaza]

'REAL

[tame viper]

mr worldwide

[pallid fern]

Oh wow that's crazy

[pallid fern]

yep lol

[tall plaza]

do i remember any spanish? absolutely not

dreaded that class

[pallid fern]

I took some spanish in elementary (more like a "let's sing songs together!" class), one year of latin in elementary (learned absolutely nothing), 3 years of French in middle school + 1.5 years of french tutoring outside of school in high school, and mandarin obviously

[tall plaza]

german was in 7th grade but i still remember a few things and french i only know vocab 😭 french was just french 1 + sprinkles of french 2 and 3 cuz i had 3 different teachers and we had to start from square 1 even in french 3

[tame viper]

damn yall cracked with it

donde esta la biblioteca?

[pallid fern]

Just because I took classes doesn't mean I remember any of it 😭

[tame viper]

(i took three years of german in hs)

[tall plaza]

TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES

[pallid fern]

after all those years in french my knowledge is now limited to basic phrases

[tall plaza]

yep...

[pallid fern]

omg that reminds me, when my brother found out about his death the first thing he said was "yayy that means dream is the best minecrafter now"

I was like "dude??" 😭

[tall plaza]

i dont know why but my brain refuses to remember the important stuff and just memorizes niche things i found from tiktok

[tall plaza]

JAIL

[soft trench]

someone had an interview with upenn?

[tall plaza]

NOT THAT CRESCENT MOON LOOKIN MF

[pallid fern]

LOL SAME like an important term for a test? Nope but here's a fact about germs that will permanently turn you into a germophobe!

[pallid fern]

Ask in the upenn thread lol

[tall plaza]

we love it ✨

[pallid fern]

My brain only remembers things I'm interested in 😭

no matter how much I studied for biochem I did NOT get any of those concepts

[tall plaza]

REAL OMG

[pallid fern]

RIP my biochem grade

[tall plaza]

im pulling shit out my ass during lit cuz i dont remember shit

[pallid fern]

whereas I can now remember a random type of plastic because of my engineering project

[tall plaza]

i dont even remember what i had for lunch yesterday

[pallid fern]

I can remember the exact dimensions for a C size battery 😭

[pallid fern]

LOL same

[tall plaza]

or the fact my brain goes on autopilot while driving to school and its like i teleported

[pallid fern]

I'm getting chipotle tomorrow

LOL that was random

[tall plaza]

i love the chili crisp chicken they added

i had moes today for dinner, motha spoiled me with her dabloons

[tame viper]

get this individual off the road
whattt

[pallid fern]

omg you know those sharp curves that aren't turns? sometimes when I go on autopilot I use the turn signal and then I'm like "what the hell am I doing"

[pallid fern]

I have no idea what a lot of those words are 😭

[pallid fern]

I didn't even know they have that

I just got my classic burrito bowl

[tall plaza]

not literally but like its legit a straight line for 10 minutes and i just sit there and then i cant remember how i got to where i was

[pallid fern]

My homeroom has a yearly chipotle lunch and it's tomorrow and I'm legitimately so excited it's gonna be the highlight of my week

[tall plaza]

[pallid fern]

yep lol

[tame viper]

i wish i had a yearly chipotle lunch

[tall plaza]

ew

[tame viper]

and homeroom

[tall plaza]

kill it

[pallid fern]

LOL

[tall plaza]

my homeroom is hanging out in the senior lounge

[pallid fern]

my homeroom teacher kinda hates us though LOL

But the chipotle lunch is worth it

[pallid fern]

we used to have a great lounge but they got rid of it because they tore down a building to rebuild it and now that lounge is the new admin office ;-;

[tall plaza]

our lounge is a study desk, 3 couches, a microwave, coffe maker, and a fridge

[pallid fern]

jeez coffee makers fancy

[tall plaza]

and a photo of the like 2013 jv football teach magnetted to the fridge

[tame viper]

yall have lounges

[tall plaza]

its a bootleg one from tjmaxx...

[tall plaza]

ew

[pallid fern]

I have this one spot in the study area that I'm always in (sometimes people sit there to chat instead of do hw) and it's gotten to the point where people text me asking where I am if I'm not there during my free block or lunch LOL

Like this morning this girl I sometimes chill with during our free blocks texted me like "where are you??"

[tall plaza]

girl lemme have some luxury my schools a poor 400 student private school who puts all its funds in football 💔

AND THEYRE STILL ASS

[pallid fern]

That seat is my patented seat and no one takes it

[pallid fern]

LOL

[tame viper]

thats so cool having a signature spot LOL

[pallid fern]

all my school's money goes to admin ;-;

[pallid fern]

LOL yeah I get pissed if people take it but 99% of the time people know it's mine

[tall plaza]

i dont have a signature spot but i am known as the sleeper agent cuz i slept almost every morning in 10th and 11th grade...

[tame viper]

damn can’t imagine
1500 student public school that’s consistently in top 4 for football

[pallid fern]

back when I took the bus my bus driver called me sleeping beauty cause I always napped

[tall plaza]

woah there big shot

[pallid fern]

And she gave me special privileges like banning people from sitting next to me

I love her

[pallid fern]

my school doesn't even have a football team 😭

[tall plaza]

atleast my hometown has a famous football player

[pallid fern]

my school sports are mediocre

[tall plaza]

we're good at basketball

and golf

and tennis

[pallid fern]

Sooooo basically your school is good at a lot lol

[tall plaza]

😭

[tame viper]

idk anything about basketball but i feel like if i go to duke that’ll change

[tall plaza]

not academics tho..

[pallid fern]

I think it took me until like year to realize that homecoming is supposed to be after a football game

[tall plaza]

our avg sat is a 1100

[pallid fern]

Before that I thoguht it was just a normal dance

Cause how was I supposed to know if my school doesn't have a football team

[tall plaza]

😭

[pallid fern]

LOL same

Like I've never been a sports girl but I am definitely going tenting

[tall plaza]

i <3 sports

[pallid fern]

ouch

[tame viper]

i’ve never gone to homecoming imma be fr

[tall plaza]

its okay i got an 1280 😜

[pallid fern]

my school dance experiences have been sub par 😭

[tall plaza]

SAME

fuck school dances

[pallid fern]

Like it's gotten to the point where idk if I even want to go to my senior prom 😭

[tall plaza]

now you see why i went test opt

[pallid fern]

my mom will probably force me though

[tame viper]

have definitely opted to do math competition practice instead in the same timeframe

[tall plaza]

id rather stay home and playing fortnite

[pallid fern]

Yeah makes sense

[dapper solar]

Whats crackin folks

[tall plaza]

dooming

[dapper solar]

All of us getting edged by duke for the next 4 days

[pallid fern]

we're discussing how the illuminati is going to take over the world and how we're going to assassinate you to stop it

[tall plaza]

i still have work this weekend 💔

[dapper solar]

What a shame

[dapper solar]

We all do, nerd

[tall plaza]

brother is NOT amused..

[tame viper]

can’t be too bad now if your friends are there right
though i’ve heard the fun part about prom isnt the actual event but what you do with your friend group before and afterwarss

[tall plaza]

friends?

[tame viper]

LOL

[pallid fern]

true but I don't have a friend group that close, like I have friends I will talk to but the kind where they would rather hang out with others than me at a school prom ;-;

[dapper solar]

At my prom afterparty a friend tried to drop another friend into the pool and instead dropped him straight onto the concrete

[pallid fern]

I went to prom last year and it was a disaster 😭

[pallid fern]

Jeezz

[tall plaza]

i dont think ive hung out with anyone outside school since the 6th grade

[pallid fern]

I've barely hung out with friends outside of school too

[tame viper]

:( lowkey kinda same

[dapper solar]

Police were called after 3 hours (unrelated)

[pallid fern]

My school is tiny and I never really clicked with people here so I'm really hoping college is going to change that cause I really don't want to be a loner for another 4 years of my life

[tall plaza]

the one friend group i am/was in has stopped talking to me and made a seperate group chat + didnt invite me to halloween or thanksgiving

[pallid fern]

Big reason why I chose duke, the people are so friendly

[quartz bridge]

i cant sleep

[pallid fern]

ouch I'm sorry

[pallid fern]

jeez

[pallid fern]

welcome to the party

we're better than sleep anyways

[quartz bridge]

my friends and i are going on a senior trip for Christmas break

[pallid fern]

I'm currently procrastinating on feeding my bunnies cause I'm lazy as heck

[quartz bridge]

it will be so depressing if i get rejected LOL

[pallid fern]

ooh that sounds fun

[tall plaza]

i dont have anymore school till 2025 anyways so idc

[pallid fern]

[quartz bridge]

[tall plaza]

[quartz bridge]

[tame viper]

omg bunnies are they cute

[pallid fern]

obviously all animals are cute

[tall plaza]

i used to have 2 bunnies, so messy 😭

[quartz bridge]

i have a dog with IVDD

lol

[pallid fern]

yeahhhh... you don't want to know

my mom insisted on buying a male and a female when I wanted two males

You can guess what happened

[quartz bridge]

oh nah

[pallid fern]

And what I'm dealing with now

[tall plaza]

i currently have 12 cats and 2 dogs aswell as a beard dragon and gecko in my house + 100+ snakes in a shed outside

[quartz bridge]

the bunny lore goes crazy

[pallid fern]

My dad just helped me take pictures of them earlier today to sell them

[quartz bridge]

damn do u own a petting zoo??

[pallid fern]

jeez what

How the heck do you have that many animals

[quartz bridge]

my dog is like paralyzed

[pallid fern]

And I thought 9 bunnies was a lot 😭

I have so much bunny lore you do not want to know

[quartz bridge]

hes kinda a crackpot though

so it makes it funnier

[pallid fern]

I love dogs

I've always loved animals

[dapper solar]

Any other homosexuals in this thread
Boutta join the duke lgbt network and get lit 🍻

[pallid fern]

And fun fact about me I have this thing about petting animals that I probably should not 😭

[tame viper]

dogs scare me
prefer cats

[quartz bridge]

no, unfortunately i am straight. my gay bestie applied ED to columbia though

[tall plaza]

😭 ive fostered kittens for 5 years ands rn i have a elderly special guy + a female i saved bc my neighbors moved and abandoned her and another cat who i also saved before hurriance helene hit us in august and those 2 got frisky and so i now have 4 blood + 1 adopted kittens running around my sisters room

[quartz bridge]

manifesting for him

[pallid fern]

Like some of the wild animals that I've petted:

Squirrels (duh)
Cats
Iguana
this monkey lemur thingy

[dapper solar]

pets scare me
prefer succulents

[tall plaza]

• 5 cats which 1 used to be a foster of mine but we eventually kept her

[pallid fern]

last semester I had a teacher who fostered kittens and one weekend she was out for a trip so she gave me the keys to her house and told me to have at it (boarding school)

I spent like all day at her house lol

[tall plaza]

ive had my fair share of kitten death experiences, my personal statement was on one of those experiences

[tall plaza]

😭

i also used to have 2 bunnies and 3 guinea pigs

[pallid fern]

ouch I talked about my bunny death experiences through my glimpse video

[quartz bridge]

[quartz bridge]

[pallid fern]

my mom and I were talking about it yesterday and she kept saying I should be a lawyer cause I was discussing how to implement a law to stop exploitation of people and I'm like "okay just cause I think this is interesting doesn't mean I want to be a lawyer"

[quartz bridge]

when's he coming to NYCCCCCC

[pallid fern]

she desperately wants me to be a lawyer 😭

[tall plaza]

my dad bought me another gallon of diet green tea tonight 😈

[tall plaza]

GIMME EM NEOWW

[pallid fern]

[tall plaza]

[quartz bridge]

my mom was getting scanned at the hospital today ahhhh

[tall plaza]

whats wrong with arizona diet green tea :(

[quartz bridge]

i tried arizona i didn't really like it

i havent tried red bull

[pallid fern]

Okay first of all

1. you can make your own green tea that's so much cheaper and it'll be fresher
2. who buys a gallon at a time 😭
3. sweet tea sucks

[tall plaza]

green tea is NOT sweet tea

[pallid fern]

#3 is from my experience working at a fast food restaurant and making the sweet tea and lemonade

[quartz bridge]

im a cola girl for caffeine

[tame viper]

sweet tea is a hallmark of the american south though

[quartz bridge]

its so bad

[pallid fern]

then if it's not sweet tea then all green tea is diet if you don't add sugar

[pallid fern]

it traumatized me the amount of sugar is in them 😭

[quartz bridge]

guys should i paint my nails blue

[tall plaza]

i love me some southern sweet tea but i like arizonas green tea but im tryna lose weight and not have 30g of sugar per can so i get diet

tastes the exact same to me

[pallid fern]

nope I can't every time I think of sweet tea I think about how many shovels of sugar I dumped into that machine to make it

[pallid fern]

sure why not

[tame viper]

like blue devil blue? go for it

[quartz bridge]

wait what should i wear when i open my decision

[dapper solar]

What shade

[tall plaza]

[quartz bridge]

I'm opening it alone whether my parents like it or not

[quartz bridge]

i feel like my app is really centered about family sacrifices

so i def want to open it with them

[tall plaza]

i just wanna get accepted man...

[tame viper]

i think imma open it in private but also record

[pallid fern]

I just don't wanna record myself crying 😭

[quartz bridge]

[tall plaza]

my senior class is only 50 people

[dapper solar]

I genuinely don’t know how to feel about my chances
On one hand, I think I’m a really strong applicant and the interviewer really liked me
On the other hand, I’m usually wrong

[quartz bridge]

i found the other girl who applied ED from my school on the ZeeMee

[pallid fern]

[pallid fern]

LOL so fair

[tall plaza]

400 students 6-12

[quartz bridge]

this seems like a bad idea but idk that's just me😭

the duke ed girl from my school thinks i eded to cornell

[tall plaza]

i dont have to worry abt scholarships much cuz if i get it i get free tuition

[quartz bridge]

and i feel bad because when i told her i genuinely was going to ed to cornell

[tall plaza]

we love carolina initiative

[quartz bridge]

bc of my SAT

[pallid fern]

LOL my brother told everyone that I got accepted to duke and harvard for some reason 😭

[quartz bridge]

but then i got it up

[dapper solar]

I’ve already invited like thirteen people to be on the video call as I open my decision
I will make it as awkward for myself as possible ☠️

[quartz bridge]

what if one of you guys gets accepted and the others don't

jealousy jealousy

[tall plaza]

[pallid fern]

pretty reasonable IMO

[tall plaza]

if i get in my entire neighborhood is being woken up

[quartz bridge]

i will be pretty surprised if no one gets in

[dapper solar]

My interviewer spent like 50 minutes of our 60 minute interview talking about one of my ecs
Literally couldn’t get past it lmao

[quartz bridge]

if i get rejected i prob won't go to school the next day LOL

[pallid fern]

[dapper solar]

Imagine doing sports/sports-adjacent

Couldn’t be me

[quartz bridge]

[pallid fern]

Next week every day after finals I'm planning on going ice skating

[quartz bridge]

im a sporty person, but unfortunately im short

[pallid fern]

Technically under 5'3

[tall plaza]

[quartz bridge]

i love college bball/football

[pallid fern]

[pallid fern]

[pallid fern]

Basically I run this graphic design discord server (kinda dead now though x_x) and we connect clients to designers and this one client tried to scam one of my designers and refused to pay so I got so pissed at him, he said he would pay him after he gets his next paycheck in a few days and then he asked me out LOL

Then he kept trying to say things like "ily" and stuff so I decided to go along with it for like 3 days (I found out that the best way to get rid of him was by sending him essays and asking him to be a good boyfriend and help me edit it after which he mysteriously disappeared) and I also managed to get his driver's license

Then after 3 days and he got paid he refused to pay my designer AGAIN so I threatened to call the cops on him with his driver's license

He blocked me, I used an alt account to contact him and threatened to call the cops again

He paid up

Then he asked me out again

I told him that I was gonna move to north korea with my baby daddy and blocked him

[pallid fern]

what 😭

[quartz bridge]

yeah after this guy told me he got a 2 on the APWH history exam i was like immediately no

[pallid fern]

SAME I deluded myself into dating someone stupid and it was miserable

[tame viper]

[quartz bridge]

except all the cheaters skipped that day 😭

[tame viper]

?? what’d they do

[quartz bridge]

so A day kids walked out with the mcq and started giving them to B day kids

[tame viper]

ah
classic

[pallid fern]

another time this weird creepy dude tried to date me so I told him the only way I would agree to date him is if he:

1. turn to satanism (he was christian)
2. eat dog food
3. respect my dead fly collecting hobby

and a few other things

Then he kept agreeing and I kept making things crazier and crazier until I gave up and blocked him x_x

[quartz bridge]

cause my teacher expects that kids recycle the mcqs when theyre done because he uses the bubbly answer sheets

[tall plaza]

all the girls ive ever liked friendzone me without me doing anything because they categorize me as the sassy straight dude... no jokes

[quartz bridge]

but some kids took them home

[quartz bridge]

[pallid fern]

I'm on a no dating ban cause of how bad my previous relationships were 😭

I wish I were friendzoned more ;-;

[pallid fern]

[pallid fern]

[quartz bridge]

[tall plaza]

my dad was with me on the nc/sc open house in september and he looked like he almost fainted cuz he didnt think duke was so inclusive

[pallid fern]

My friends say that I always like red flag guys x_x

[dapper solar]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[quartz bridge]

but if u cite financial reasons as why u need to back out from ur ED agreement is the school going to revoke ur offer

[pallid fern]

nah duke is great

[quartz bridge]

or just take away ur bind

[tame viper]

LOL i was there too we prolly passed by each other at some point without realizing

[quartz bridge]

THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME BTW

[tall plaza]

If the EFC is very different

[tame viper]

i forgor💀

[pallid fern]

SAME my friend has the worst taste in guys 😭

[tall plaza]

[dapper solar]

I remember seeing that you need to show that it will literally be financially unsustainable for you to be there

[tall plaza]

do you remember anything 😭

[pallid fern]

My mom said that she likes duke because the people are all attractive x_x

[tall plaza]

my guide was a trinity girl who also spoke at the trinity like student q&a thingy

freckles, curly hair

[sly stream]

i contacted the fin aid office with that exact question and they said you can back out and ultimately it’s up to you and your family what “not enough” looks like

[tall plaza]

😭

[pallid fern]

how do you remember things like that from months ago x_x

I barely remember what I hate for breakfast

[tall plaza]

i told you i remember the most random things

[quartz bridge]

my guide was from a neighboring high school

[pallid fern]

[dapper solar]

I like southern guys, so that’ll be a plus

[tall plaza]
