duke was hard
wanton sun
acceptance rate is almost exactly the same as last year lol
they decided to accept more people ED and less people RD
cyan flicker
would they accept more RD this year then?
wanton sun
would they accept more RD this year then?
no
cyan flicker
damn
wanton sun
they accepted more ED, that means they have to accept less RD
they're pulling a UChicago/Brown
cyan flicker
oh? i thought there was less for ed
cyan flicker
they're pulling a UChicago/Brown
ohh
wanton sun
oh? i thought there was less for ed
no the ED acceptance rate is almost exactly the same, and there were more applicants ED. That means that they accepted more people ED
if a higher percentage of the class was filled ED that means there is less space for RD
cyan flicker
damn
wanton sun
oh so basically im cooked
no there's still plenty of space RD, just lock in
wanton sun
make your essays so good that they can't reject you
elder nacelle
i havent even started any duke essays 😎
cyan flicker
they said theyre considering the essays less for this year
cyan flicker
less no?
fleet canopy
but they aren't scoring based on "quality" so like grammar isn't accounted for anymore
and looking at them less
did anyone do glimpse for their duke application
wanton sun
didnt they say
they're not looking much at how well it's written now, they care mainly about content
cyan flicker

pallid fern
did anyone do glimpse for their duke application
I did
wanton sun
did anyone do glimpse for their duke application
I did glimpse when I applied, but my video was shit and done at 3am

I don't think it can hurt you as long as the content is ok, my shit video didn't get me rejected
fleet canopy

Confirmed that 1,000 were deferred. Assume others heard the same from their counselors
harsh heath
where did u see the confirmation?
pallid fern
@dapper willow can we have a thread for people who were rejected ED/REA? I need to cry with other people and also maybe hopefully give myself hope that all is not yet lost for us in the competitive RD pools 😭
tough reef
For the Dec 20 priority deadline, is that just when we need to get our commonapp in by?

where did u see the confirmation?
Duke did a webinar for school counselors & shared this info - supposedly yesterday

If you submit by Dec. 20th you can get an alumni interview

I’ve built a couple arduino and raspberry pi robots since then, and gotten a rec letter from my Boeing internship mentor

I would send one now, and then another one in Jan after school reopens
And then another one in like Feb or March
Then again don't trust me I don't know anything about locis

How important is the "glimpse" video?
This email for the applicant portal is the first time I've seen it mentioned
dusky orbit
How important is the "glimpse" video?
I go to a high school outside of the US, so I didn't have glimpse as an option. I also didn't do initialview (it was expensive), and they didn't give me an interview either. So it's probably not too important, but i guess if you can do it, you should.
regal lark
should I include that i got a 35 (from 34) in my loci
tame viper
should I include that i got a 35 (from 34) in my loci
yes
zealous solar
How important is the "glimpse" video?
if u have the time and money do it but it wont make a big impact
pallid fern
It's surprisingly not that expensive though
I mean obviously it can be a financial burden to some people but I thought it would cost more
pallid fern
if u have the time and money do it but it wont make a big impact
But yeah agreed with this
wind root
How important is the "glimpse" video?
I didn't do it and got in but if you think your profile isn't fully shown throughout the application I don't think it could hurt unless you're extraordinarily weird lol

It should be free what 😭
pallid fern
It should be free what 😭
I think it's free if you qualify for a fee waiver
Otherwise it's like $20 to send to an unlimited number of schools iirc
something like that
Just googled it, $22 for unlimited schools
So it's a lot better than like the ACT or SAT who are enjoying their monopoly
ember salmon
for the optional essays its fine to just do one right?
cloud crater
if you want to get in id assume you should do two
cuz im pretty sure theyre only optional for the recruited athletes
elder nacelle

Anyone down to look over my Duke supplements + Common App Personal Essay?
exotic kettle
ngl none of them really ask why major (i think)
UT Austin does

my why us essay talked a lot about my major lowk so

There should be a group chat just for Duke apps
So we can all send each other our essays to review and stuff

That's literally this thread lol
No topic

You just yap about anything you want
No editing but unlimited rerecords

That's literally this thread lol
Yeah is it possible to send Duke essay docs here though
tame viper
Yeah is it possible to send Duke essay docs here though
there’s 40k people in this server. i think that’s a bad idea lol
ellie how have things been going for you

Like 2-3 minutes iirc
could I just do a short about me (that I did for my interviews)...
exotic kettle
there’s 40k people in this server. i think that’s a bad idea lol
I figured yea
Hence why I suggested a group chat
pallid fern
Yeah is it possible to send Duke essay docs here though
Is it possible? Yes, but like Shika said, not sure that's a good idea lol
I've only shared my essays cautiously on the Internet with people I trust
And I definitely wouldn't send it in a server like this
pallid fern
ellie how have things been going for you
Freaking out about RD 😭
I applied ED2 to Rice, but if I get in some of my EA schools I'll probably switch to RD Rice and go for Yale + Cornell
I love those two schools so much especially Yale
I'm pretty much over Duke though which is good lol
How's it going for you?
exotic kettle
Is it possible? Yes, but like Shika said, not sure that's a good idea lol
My essay’s more focused on Duke than anything so it doesn’t reveal much really
But yeah I get that
pallid fern
could I just do a short about me (that I did for my interviews)...
You could but I would suggest something maybe more unique if that makes sense, like I remember someone said they showed off their collection of something
I showed off my pet bunnies
Like show something you wouldn't be able to in an interview
exotic kettle
You just yap about anything you want
Is this only for transfer students?
I’m a first year so will I have to make a video
pallid fern
My essay’s more focused on Duke than anything so it doesn’t reveal much really

There’s nothing on the Duke website that says first years need to do a video

pallid fern
There’s nothing on the Duke website that says first years need to do a video
Yeah, it's something extra
Do it if you want
exotic kettle
Oh got it
sinful tide
i think a lot of ppl don't even know about it
exotic kettle
I’m doing the optional essays
pallid fern
I would recommend it though cause demonstrated interest (even though colleges don't say they care, they do care at least slightly)
pallid fern
I’m doing the optional essays
Yeah that is definitely not optional lol
sinful tide
I’m doing the optional essays
no essays arne't optional 😭
but like the videos aren't super mainstream
so i think theres a lot more leeway
pallid fern
Optional essays are never optional (unless it's something like explain extenuating circumstances or something)
sinful tide
yeah
pallid fern
so i think theres a lot more leeway
Yeah definitely
sinful tide
a lot of ppl prob dont even know abt the vids so
pallid fern
I kinda like my video so I'm probably going to send it to all my RD schools
sinful tide
ig its j smth nice
wait what schools need it
like t20 💀
duke brown and uchicago ik
pallid fern
Oh you also get 2 stars that you can send to your first and second choice colleges for more demonstrated interest
sinful tide
There are optional essays
yea but they're "optional"
exotic kettle
Oh got it
pallid fern
wait what schools need it
No schools "need" it but I think a good chunk accept it
I'm just gonna send it to whatever schools accept it
sinful tide
hmm
pallid fern
I already paid the $22 fee for ED/EA sooooo might as well use it
sinful tide
ig it can't really hurt

If I have a 4.5 GPA and a 1440 SAT (770 Math 670 RW) is that good for Duke?
SAT slightly on the lower end but I would still submit it
Your math is high enough
sinful tide
depends on ur school avg too
pallid fern
If you can retake that would be ideal
exotic kettle
School avg sat?
sinful tide
prob not
pallid fern
But idk if there are any more chances to retake
sinful tide
at this point is too late
exotic kettle
If you can retake that would be ideal
Kinda late for that
pallid fern
School avg sat?
Yeah
sinful tide
i mean id submit j bcuz they would prob assume the worst
exotic kettle
Let me check
pallid fern
Kinda late for that
If you take it in Jan then you should still be able to submit it slightly late
pallid fern
i mean id submit j bcuz they would prob assume the worst
Agreed
Especially as you're applying ECE and your math subscore is high
But again academics aren't everything
sinful tide
If you take it in Jan then you should still be able to submit it slightly late
isnt the next test date in like march

Duke’s essay prompts are so bad man
deft tangle
I don't think it's crazy off the charts, but it's not bad. I know a lot of people who were in it who weren't music majors
he did violin though so i can ask him questions about what he thought. what are you most curious about?
deft tangle
ok so he said math/stats would make more sense because the music dept at duke is so small. we have a larger focus on music extracurriculars though,music lessons opportunities and performance groups, but they're open to anybody and usually people from other majors participate in them.
