[manic willow]

of course you have to maintain everything youre already doing

[manic willow]

lets see

[eternal mauve]

lol

[weary yacht]

rahhhh me too

[rose frost]

i gave chatgpt my stats and asked it to recommend colleges and it told me that ut austin out of state was a safety

[manic willow]

Idk if this is great advice but try to apply to safeties with slightly less higher acceptance rates so you dont get yielded

[bronze quarry]

thats true

[fleet canopy]

why does duke have to be so selective like

[bronze quarry]

its hard for oos

[full tartan]

chatgpt is a bit too kind..

[fleet canopy]

chill down bro

[rose frost]

fr

[eternal mauve]

It’s a great school

[manic willow]

It is

[eternal mauve]

Why would it not be

[weary yacht]

have u tried the collegevine thing

[humble crest]

cornell did so good

[bronze quarry]

hike in oos apps this year + limited spots

[manic willow]

Almost as good as carolina

[fleet canopy]

it's my dream school i just wish i could fr get in

[humble crest]

rice ed did good too lowkey

[toxic ridge]

none of the numbers for me and the top ones are above 10%

[humble crest]

my friend w no ec's got into rice

[full tartan]

ok schizo

[rose frost]

I have but it kinda doesn't work because the stats don't really apply for engineering

there's too many confounding factors

[buoyant drum]

say ong

[eternal mauve]

Maybe you’ll be the one acceptance next year

[eternal mauve]

lol

[humble crest]

that ik of at least

[fleet canopy]

a girl can pray

[tall plaza]

icl if i get into stanford rd im going to burst into tears

[toxic ridge]

i did and its inaccurate (it doesnt include certain personal factors)

[humble crest]

[weary yacht]

ik its inaccurate but maybe works better than chatgpt

[toxic ridge]

uf

[humble crest]

[tall plaza]

[toxic ridge]

[fleet canopy]

the girl who was the first girl to get into cornell in like 5 years at my school didn't tell anyone and everyone found out bc her advisor acidentally told one of his classes 💀

[elder nacelle]

[eternal mauve]

If they do the number of applicants will fs go down

[quartz bridge]

[eternal mauve]

If they don’t the number of applicants will def get higher

[manic willow]

Test optional was only for covid because all the test centers were shut down, now theres no excuse 😈

[eternal mauve]

Idk

[eternal mauve]

It’s an equity issue

[weary yacht]

in fact screw digital SAT make all the seniors take the paper one

[quartz bridge]

a deferall feels like a soft rejection but in the letter it says they'll accept 5-10% of defered

[cyan flicker]

was there anyone who got deferred

[fleet canopy]

i think test flexible is the best policy

[quartz bridge]

i got deffered

[manic willow]

test blind schools above all tho

[void laurel]

this year they are picking names out of a hat

[drowsy bolt]

in competitiveness yeah p much

[quartz bridge]

[fleet canopy]

the admissions officer i talked to for duke says that they are really prioritizing LORS of this year since bc of AI they aren't "grading" the essays

[pallid fern]

[dapper willow]

Kindest Duke student

[trail bison]

[void laurel]

I swear its like 99% luck atp 😭

[pallid fern]

This year really was a bloodbath

[dapper willow]

I swear Duke actually produces some of the most annoying mfs I’ve met on this server

[weary yacht]

💀

[tall plaza]

💀

[fleet canopy]

a girl at my school got rejected from bama and is saying (dead serious) that she's def going to get in for duke RD

[cyan flicker]

thats what i saww

[manic willow]

What a nice thing to say

[trail bison]

How tf did u get rejected from bama

[quartz bridge]

honestly i feel like i should be proud of a derferall now 😭

cause how tf

[eternal mauve]

But yeah guys holistic review exists! You might have won the national science fair but a lot of people don’t even have the opportunity to do the science fair which is something colleges keep in mind

[eternal mauve]

LOL

[dapper willow]

It’s the truth I fear

[quartz bridge]

this still feels like a soft rejection i fear

[tall plaza]

i dont have alot of opps and i still got rejected :(

[trail bison]

LOCI dawg

lock in

[manic willow]

what about university of north carolina students 🥺

[tall plaza]

doesnt have engineering

[bright prawn]

I can’t even make jokes nowadays

😭

[eternal mauve]

Dw it’s also about fit, you’ll find your fit

[manic willow]

gender studies is more important

[dapper willow]

Maybe don’t make them an hour after decisions

[bright prawn]

Yep

[tall plaza]

duke legit told me i wouldve fit well...

im gonnan lose it

[eternal mauve]

?

[bright prawn]

I literally just said A2c 29 washed

😭

[drowsy bolt]

as a reject i found it funny

[bright prawn]

It’s not that deep

[manic willow]

This is true, 7 straight rejections

[dapper willow]

Add yourself to the leaderboard then

[manic willow]

When im done

[fleet canopy]

ppl can say whatever they want abt duke but nothing can top that dining hall

[dapper willow]

We add as you go

[drowsy bolt]

this is sadly true

[dapper willow]

If we’re gonna claim 29 is washed then I need more people on the rejects leaderboard

[manic willow]

its a joke, i do not actually have 7 college rejections.

[trail bison]

I have 2 accpetances and 0 rejects so far

[bright prawn]

Wu

😍

[drowsy bolt]

[manic willow]

great idea

[tall plaza]

i dont know if i can even ed2 anywhere 😭 i alr sent my rds in

[tall plaza]

[pallid fern]

But if I keep telling myself to do cornell I won't do something stupid like ed2 to a school I hate which I am so tempted to do

[tall plaza]

😭

[pallid fern]

Rice doesn't even have my major or classes in my major and I'm so tempted to ED2 them LOL

I love the school itself but no major

[tall plaza]

they have ee but idk abt tx 😭

[weary yacht]

i love jhu but baltimore is euhh and i know nothing about jhu cs

[tall plaza]

real

[drowsy bolt]

yeah

also stupidly cutthroat

[tall plaza]

jhu is also basically cmus twin as self suicide for any kind of engineering

[drowsy bolt]

i have a friend at jhu she apparently cried like every other day

[tall plaza]

yeah and their campus?! hell no

[fleet canopy]

JHU is no joke like everyone I know there either has no social life, is depressed, or is an English major

[weary yacht]

?

[weary yacht]

no social life and depressed and english major

[tall plaza]

TIPS

[tall plaza]

@pallid fern have you looked in any design schools in NYC?

[spark fjord]

interior?

or fashion

[craggy wren]

yea

[spark fjord]

UX

etc

[pallid fern]

Not interested in fine arts schools, not my vibe

[pallid fern]

UX design

[tall plaza]

fairs

[pallid fern]

But I'm thinking about shifting to more human centered and service design

[eternal mauve]

Why don’t you apply cogsci

[pallid fern]

I got accepted to SCAD which is nice so that's my safety

[spark fjord]

uhhh yeah thats not at rice

[tall plaza]

ooo lessgo

[spark fjord]

go for it tho

[tall plaza]

savannah campus?

[spark fjord]

what do u want in a college

[pallid fern]

yeah that's what I did I'm just worried it's not as fitting for human centered or ux design

[pallid fern]

yes

[tall plaza]

BIG W, savannah is gorg

[pallid fern]

Duke/Rice vibes, very happy and collaborative and interdisciplinary

and has my major obviously

[spark fjord]

what r duke/rice vibes

like architecture?

[pallid fern]

Or at least is very easy to create a major

"very happy and collaborative and interdisciplinary"

[tall plaza]

brown

lehigh

[pallid fern]

I don't think I would fit in there ngl

[tall plaza]

fair

[pallid fern]

I called my mom and she's getting me mochinut without me asking

[spark fjord]

you could ed2 but your criteria is broad enough that you'd probably find one with your major too

[pallid fern]

She texted me about mochinut and I ignored her and then she said she was at the store getting me some

[spark fjord]

cogsci is your closest bet at rice

[pallid fern]

yeah I already applied

[eternal mauve]

Ik a bunch of cogsci majors at my school doing uiux design

[spark fjord]

ed2?

[pallid fern]

no I applied rd

[pallid fern]

true

I'm considering rice ed2

[tall plaza]

@pallid fern should i apply to rice?

[pallid fern]

why not

go ahead

join me

[tall plaza]

theyre t20 so why not

[spark fjord]

i would tour rice before ed'ing if you havent already

[eternal mauve]

I like how this is your reasoning

[pallid fern]

hm totally great reasoning

[spark fjord]

don't let this be your reasoning 😭

[pallid fern]

good idea

[untold fossil]

t20 or bust!!!

[tall plaza]

its not entirely, ive had rice in my mind for some time

[bold heart]

pls see instructions in #💪-chad-rejects

[untold fossil]

Cornell + Rice > duke

[tall plaza]

😭

[mighty minnow]

[drowsy bolt]

its fine dw ty for the words of encouragement

im locked for ed2

also tbf i like every uni on my list a great deal

so im not devastated in the slightest

[pallid fern]

I wish I were like you 😭

I'm actually devastated

[drowsy bolt]

im honestly annoyed lol

[mighty minnow]

Did you get deferred?

[drowsy bolt]

my mom donated for years

[pallid fern]

rejected

[pallid fern]

jeez

[drowsy bolt]

which tbf this is some spoiled shit cope

but its a little annoying esp since they said like

I recognize the hope and commitment behind your Early Decision application to Duke, especially given your family ties to the University, and I am sorry we could not respond the way you had wished.

like thanks bro hope you spent that money on some nice stuff

[buoyant drum]

at least we know they're juding based on merit and not just donations yk

[pallid fern]

true

I'm completely unhooked

so RIP me

[buoyant drum]

ay we can cope together LOL

[pallid fern]

I'm seriously considering applying ED2 to rice

[drowsy bolt]

yeah

i mean im not like

[buoyant drum]

oh sheee i forgot about ed2

[frail sluice]

Also I have a feeling they admitted like half of their class from corlina and the other athletes and quest bridge

[frail sluice]

Same

[drowsy bolt]

qb was like 120 ppl or sm crazy

throw in athletes and carolinas and yeah

pretty much over

[frail sluice]

Real I'm kinda so sad 😭. I worked on my app for like 5 months

[tall plaza]

im from sc and i still got rejected

[drowsy bolt]

oh

yeah

[tame viper]

carolinas buff didn’t work for me:/

[drowsy bolt]

i mean it just seems like it was brutal this year

[frail sluice]

And only applied there early. Everyone at my school was so sure I'd get in too 😭😭

[drowsy bolt]

7k applicants

[pallid fern]

yeah

[drowsy bolt]

more qb acceptances

[drowsy bolt]

yeah same

[pallid fern]

[drowsy bolt]

[pallid fern]

My status is my way of telling everyone without having to individually message them

[tall plaza]

same

[frail sluice]

Ahhhhhhh idk I think I'll just do my undergrad from my own country

[buoyant drum]

[spark fjord]

[frail sluice]

Ahh I feel like I wasted my last 4 years guys I need motivation

[cyan flicker]

its okay

[buoyant drum]

what if it's always 100 degrees

[cyan flicker]

duke didnt deserve all of u

[spark fjord]

it's not

[tall plaza]

duke fumbled on us

[cyan flicker]

being honest they tripping

like who they think they r

duke LL

[pallid fern]

exactly duke sucks

[cyan flicker]

theyll see most of the ed people getting into ivys

idk what their standard was tbh

they didnt consider essay that much

nor stats of what i heard

so idk atp

their vibes must be tripping

[buoyant drum]

what did they consider then isnt that like 99% of the app 💀

[cyan flicker]

no FR

[pallid fern]

I thought my extracurriculars were strong too

[cyan flicker]

then

they dont care

they care about vibes?

[buoyant drum]

"hmmm, not feeling this one"

[cyan flicker]

idk its bc no one in my region got accepted

so i cant even judge

[cyan flicker]

fr

the crazy part

[buoyant drum]

[cyan flicker]

JAHSJJAHSJAJAJJAJA

duke tripped

[pallid fern]

https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2024/12/duke-university-early-decision-class-of-2029-12-8-percent-acceptance-rate-increased-applications-admitted-north-carolina-questbridge

12.8%

higher than I thought

[cyan flicker]

damn

[drowsy bolt]

its lower if you subtract QB

[cyan flicker]

yea

[drowsy bolt]

they accepted way more QB this year

[cyan flicker]

super low

[drowsy bolt]

yup

qb was like 120

[cyan flicker]

ik

QB was too high

[pallid fern]

true

[cyan flicker]

so ED prob dropped

which is unfair

[pallid fern]

It sucks for unhooked applicants

[cyan flicker]

its unfair tbh

[pallid fern]

life isn't fair

[cyan flicker]

yep

its okay!

[drowsy bolt]

i was hooked lol hooked is still cooked

[cyan flicker]

damn

they didnt get the vibes ig

tripping

[buoyant drum]

COPE COPE COPIUM AHHHHHHHHHHH

[drowsy bolt]

SO REAL

[buoyant drum]

https://tenor.com/view/wolfie-wolfie-boi-wolfie-inhale-gif-4573890677202661696

[quartz bridge]

i saw a lot of private school acceptances

but life isn't fair unfortunately

[tough reef]

Congrats to all who got in/gl to all who got deferred, but anyone who’s done it this year/last year got any last min tips before robertson semis interview tmr morn

[untold flume]

i have a feeling a lot of the ed applicants here will end up getting into better schools (ivies)

we were unfortunately an unlucky class this year

[dapper solar]

I guess now im just aiming for one of the good aerospace unis

already ead to umich purdue uiuc gatech umd

[pallid fern]

I keep rereading my rejection letter like it's going to change 😭

[faint escarp]

You’re much better than me, I didn’t even finish reading the rejection letters before closing the tab, and unfollowing the megathreads (and then searching the terrible things about the school)

[pallid fern]

LOL I unfollowed every duke related instagram ASAP

[buoyant drum]

with enough alcohol it just may

[pallid fern]

😭

[buoyant drum]

i did that today, no confetti, instantly closed the tab

then i crawled back and read it

[pallid fern]

I read through like half the thing and then closed it

And I've reread it like 5 times

[buoyant drum]

imagine they track time spent on decision letter and they admit one person who was rejected based on how much time was spent on the letter page

[pallid fern]

that would actually be so cruel

[buoyant drum]

i think it'd be pretty funny

[pallid fern]

it kinda would be but I would hate to find out that actually happened and I got rejected cause I didn't read the letter enough x_x

I guess we're aiming for Yale and Cornell now lol

[haughty crane]

I’m sorry babe I was there last year :((

[buoyant drum]

you got this

[buoyant drum]

gt tho

[pallid fern]

I'm like cycling through the cycles of grief so much I keep fluctuating between denial and depression and acceptance lol

Rn I'm in my acceptance phase

[haughty crane]

Nah you’re real for that queen

[pallid fern]

Give it a few hours and I'll be crying myself to sleep again 😭

[untold flume]

SAME

[buoyant drum]

i started looking at a&m housing that's how hard i'm coping

[teal basalt]

think I’m content now, i was kinda unfazed opening it.. idk getting deferred from a t10 is something.. just taking it as a rejection

[buoyant drum]

yeah

[teal basalt]

really didnt see myself anywhere else besides upenn so i just need to lock in

[dapper solar]

Do we have to do something if we get deferred

[elder nacelle]

Naurrrr 😔

[pallid fern]

I was following like 5 accounts, like the chronicle, the discover duke account, the normal duke account, the duke students account, and the robertson scholars account

[dapper solar]

to tell them that we're interested in being re reviewed

or not

[pallid fern]

I mean I could still get robertson for unc but I doubt it

[weary yacht]

LOCI timeee

[pallid fern]

yes loci

[eternal mauve]

worth a shot!

[pallid fern]

LOL I did literally the exact same thing for Rice

[eternal mauve]

guys I know it hurts now but it does get better

[teal basalt]

my interview was kinda mid so im not shocked

[pallid fern]

I'm gonna be the first person to get accepted to yale from my school in years trust

[eternal mauve]

you can always try and transfer if you really really hate where you end up

[pallid fern]

nope duke is dead to me lol

no duke anymore

bad duke

rejection is redirection

and in this case

redirection away from duke

far far far away

[eternal mauve]

😭

[buoyant drum]

[eternal mauve]

well

[pallid fern]

I guess a2c isn't getting an animated version of the duke icon LOL

[eternal mauve]

duke thread still loves you!

[pallid fern]

duke thread > duke

[buoyant drum]

unc is within sneezing distance

one wrong turn and you're at duke

[pallid fern]

imagine I end up at unc x_x

right next to duke

[buoyant drum]

pray same

we can stand over the duke campus like we're looing at a grave

[eternal mauve]

you can stand there and yell "fluke, fluke, fluke!"

[buoyant drum]

it'll be so majestic

[elder nacelle]

WE CAN BE AT UNC TOGETHER 🙏🙏

[pallid fern]

yes UNC > duke

I want to end up at an HYPSM so bad just to rub it in duke's face 😭

But I don't like most of the HYPSM

Yale's okay though

So yale it is

look at me coping so hard 😭

[buoyant drum]

side chick vibes bruh

[tiny nymph]

congrats duke 29

[elder nacelle]

I only have 2 more life paths one is getting brown or Cornell or the other is getting a very large scholarship to CUB
Otherwise im COOKED

[dapper solar]

HYPSM's not all the best for aerospace, but damn do I want to just be able to say I went to one

[eternal mauve]

that's like 1 person here lol

[tiny nymph]

oh 😭😭

[pallid fern]

I heard Cornell accepted a huge number of ED kids this year so they'll probably accept less for RD

not sure if that's true though

[buoyant drum]

he shouted into the void of despair

[dapper solar]

*congrat, singular

[elder nacelle]

Me after my parents want me to do aero eng but also go to an ivy so i just end up doing astronomy like i wanted to instead 😍

[pallid fern]

lol

I want to say I go to yale just cause

[dapper solar]

more people should have appreciated this joke

[pallid fern]

The main thing I don't like about yale is that it's too cold and the mental health is bad and the major isn't that good for me

[quartz bridge]

this person on reddit that i was talking to was so mad they got deffered they starting calling low gpa kids who got in the N word.

[elder nacelle]

Unfortunately the one person from our school who goes to Yale makes it his entire personality now

[pallid fern]

😭

[quartz bridge]

idk if any of you have heard of them but its marilyn rogers on tiktok

[elder nacelle]

I appreciate it vro 😔 ✊

[quartz bridge]

disgusting

i blocked them right away

they were convinced their stats were going to get them in and in every godamn video i see their comments "i have a 1540"

this person kept telling me they were so confident they were getting in so it didn't matter

[elder nacelle]

😭

[quartz bridge]

and then get's rejected and it's a mess

[dapper solar]

they didnt even get above a 1550 ☠️

[quartz bridge]

like i blocked them rightt away

[slim mica]

anyone get in?

[dapper solar]

singular

[quartz bridge]

the sal at my neighboring school also got deffered

[elder nacelle]

One person not in this server at my school got in

[slim mica]

like single digits?

[quartz bridge]

and i wasn't even top 5% of my class HELP

[dapper solar]

singular as in one

[slim mica]

ohhhh wow

[buoyant drum]

itss a bit betet

[quartz bridge]

like i bet you they were pissed that i even got deffered because my SAT score was 30 points lower 💀

[slim mica]

no one in my school got into stanford

[quartz bridge]

but honestly people like that don't deserve to apply to college

[slim mica]

idk abt duke tho

[quartz bridge]

like take ur negative energy elsewhere

[dapper solar]

Man my school is kinda a stanford feeder ngl

[slim mica]

dang

[dapper solar]

out of 120 seniors, about 10 got accepted to stanford

[slim mica]

oh wow

are you in cali?

[dapper solar]

yeah

[sly stream]

i messed up this sem and got two Bs so i’m kinda screwed RD

[dapper solar]

unless the econ midterm rails me, then I should be fine with grades for RD

[dapper solar]

did you ea a bunch of other schools

[sly stream]

umich, gatech, and nc state

i have guaranteed admission to ncsu at least

[buoyant drum]

does any unc do auto admit for to 10

kinda curious

[sly stream]

no i don’t believe so

[dapper solar]

ngl the deferall has sown some seeds of discord in my brain
i briefly considered applying to one of the 40 automatic admits that common app shows me ☠️

[buoyant drum]

THAT IS SO TRUE

[sly stream]

ncssm kids get auto accepted to the unc schools (unc, ncsu, etc.) as long as their gpa is above like 3.5

[elder nacelle]

NCSSM

[dapper solar]

My safety is Prager university, my target is the Illuminati, and my reach is squidward community college

[elder nacelle]

My principal tried getting that perk put in place at our school because too many people are leaving to go to NCSSM instead 😭

[elder nacelle]

Damn I wanna go to SCC as well

[sly stream]

lmao

[buoyant drum]

where hustlers

[elder nacelle]

Hustlers is his dream

[dapper solar]

I was automatically admitted to hustlers university and mcdonalds university, I didnt even consider them

[elder nacelle]

I got full ride to hawk tuah uni 🙄

[pallid fern]

I am tempted to span apply to random unis + ED2 to rice (a uni that while I like, is not one of my top choices)

[buoyant drum]

did u have to spit on that thang

[elder nacelle]

It was an interview question but i didnt answer it

[buoyant drum]

cinema

[elder nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/absolute-cinema-absolute-cinema-meme-absolute-cinema-meme-gif-11615201256306424437

Freaky

[sly stream]

where do yall think should i apply rd for mech e (considering I now have 2 Bs)

[crystal nexus]

If you need help making a new list you can post in #954421825427865690

[dapper solar]

Where do I submit the letter of continued interest?

[dapper solar]

@pallid fern

[pallid fern]

I didn't even get deferred I was straight up rejected idk why you're asking me 😭

But I would say try to find your admissions counselor for your region and maybe send it to them

Idk google it

like I said I got straight up rejected so idk why you're asking me 😭

[dapper solar]

ok sry

[pallid fern]

I'm a cornell + yale simp now

[dapper solar]

cause you were to one who answered my question about if we needed to do anything about deferal about loci ☠️

[dapper solar]

gl

[crystal nexus]

I googled it, this is what came up

So @dapper solar what came up was that you should email your admissions officer or the general admissions office

It wasn't clear which was correct

At the very least, if you wish to send a loci but want to make sure its the correct one, email the general admissions office to seek clarification

[dapper solar]

ok

[tame viper]

i dunno how to feel about duke anymore hmph

[golden herald]

it is not just one person

[quartz bridge]

same girl

i have 2 weeks to do 11 applications it is sooo over

[regal lark]

is there any hope to have after deferral

[elder nacelle]

Huh

[tame viper]

same lmao

[quartz bridge]

i have no idea

[elder nacelle]

Also why are you stalking my messages

[quartz bridge]

they said 5-10 percent in the letter

[elder nacelle]

Fake

[golden herald]

we have more than one at yale

[quartz bridge]

i saw a lot of tiktok’s of duke deferred to accepted so ig there’s some hope

[elder nacelle]

Really who 😭😭😭

[quartz bridge]

but i’m not banking on anything and honestly duke sucks for taking so many private school kids but oh welllll

life isnt fair 🙂

[golden herald]

why is your uni hawk tuah

thats absurd

[elder nacelle]

Yes

[golden herald]

honestly that is abhorrent

i will never converse with you again

[elder nacelle]

Oh

I hope you get into hawk tuah university too

[golden herald]

[pallid fern]

At least I'm at the top of one college's list 🥲

[pallid fern]

Congrats!!

[pallid fern]

Idk why but it's so weird seeing you on this server for some reason lol

[willow gale]

did u get deferred

or rejected

[pallid fern]

Rejected lol

[untold flume]

so now that we are rejected where are u guys applying

[sly stream]

honestly would have rather been rejected than deferred

[willow gale]

yeah gives me false hope

[willow gale]

oh sad 😔

[willow gale]

im thinking rice

NU and jhu are too competitive

anyway

[untold flume]

is rice not as competitive? how does rice compare to duke?

[willow gale]

out of the current universities which offer ed2

[untold flume]

ahh

[willow gale]

i feel like jhu, nu or rice appeals me the most

and compared to rice, jhu and nu are competitive asf

and every single person would ed2 to jhu cuz its popular for ed2

[untold flume]

true

[quartz bridge]

getting deferred is worse than any other situationship

[willow gale]

its ok write that letter of interest

and forget abt it

[quartz bridge]

i want dartmouth now

let me in darty PLSSSSS

i shouldve ed there smh

[pallid fern]

I should've ED'd Cornell ;-;

[frail sluice]

ahhhhhh

i dont know what to do

guys does being first gen inl low income good for admissions asking for a friend

[dapper solar]

Other eas:
northeastern uwisc umd uiuc umich gatech purdue rpi usc
Rds:
udubb washu cmu Cornell mit stanford, all ucs except for riverside and merced

So I still got 22 chances to go to college

[regal lark]

i wish they told us why we got deferred

like it’s a shot in the dark as to why
