Duke University (2024-2025)

[mortal pulsar]

Should we expect rejection if we didn’t get interview

[severe badge]

i heard duke prescreens

so

[mortal pulsar]

Cooked

Also parent tax form was waived

So

I’m so done for

[wanton ivy]

im expecting rejection

cause i applied by priority deadline lol

and still didnt get it

[umbral dirge]

how is that possible

i feel like they didn’t use alumni well in my area

i got one after the priority deadline but a bunch of ppl didnt???

[wanton ivy]

idk

[old spindle]

aren’t they not doing priority deadline this year

[pliant yacht]

where was the withdraw button? I never noticed a withdraw button

[wanton ivy]

im positive they are

[old spindle]

i remember someone saying that it got taken off the website

[umbral dirge]

huh

it was there in january

[wanton ivy]

huh

[umbral dirge]

I got an interview but I know I’m cooked

[old spindle]

also i applied literally 3 hours before the deadline and got an interview idk if that matters that much 😭

[umbral dirge]

only 1 waitlists and 11 rejections from t20s

[wanton ivy]

@old spindle it's still here
https://undergraduate.bulletins.duke.edu/policies/admissions

[wanton ivy]

are duke interviews prescreened

[mossy juniper]

does no interview mean cooked

i cant remember if i requested one or not but never got one so 😭

ok yay

[old spindle]

allegedly yeah

like they interview a small percentage

[regal lark]

on the right section

i was deferred ed and i think the deferred people get their withdraw button removed initially or something

based on what others have said

[wanton ivy]

i see

[rose cosmos]

i don’t think priority deadline exists anymore

i applied an hour b4 it was due and i got one

i think they scrapped it this year

that’s in the past i think

[wanton ivy]

You can still get an interview after the priority deadline I think

Just not as likely

[rose cosmos]

oh

[wanton ivy]

@rose cosmos I found it mentioned in this document from this application cycle
https://undergraduate.bulletins.duke.edu/policies/admissions

It isn't in dates and deadlines though

[rose cosmos]

it doesn’t matter anymore anyways

i’m getting destroyed by RDs 😭

[wanton ivy]

same

[rose cosmos]

shouldn’t have bothered regular cycle lowk

💀💀💀last hope ahh school

isn’t cal berkeley 😭

[wanton ivy]

are you on god rn

[rose cosmos]

fraudulent ahhh

one of us are not like the others 💀

[wanton ivy]

this is like the time someone got into yale and someone in this server said he got "rejected from hpsm"

[rose cosmos]

💀rds giving me trauma idek where it went so wrong 💔

[safe field]

When is Duke out?

[rose cosmos]

monday 7pm

😭oh well

[safe field]

Oh, interesting.

[wanton ivy]

7pm edt on 31st march

[rose cosmos]

i’m emotionally dead

[old spindle]

sigh

[safe field]

Good luck!!

[pliant yacht]

Oh I see, thanks. RD here and no withdraw button

[scarlet quarry]

Same pal it’s wraps

[steel bloom]

[old spindle]

LMAOOOOOOO

wdym

yeah i submitted 3 hours before the deadline and i got an interview

when was your guys interviews

[forest rivet]

February

[old spindle]

mine was like mid february

i need to get duke so i can thank my interviewer and network with her she’s the former cfo of a huge bank 💔💔

ooh i was contacted on the 18th and had it on the 23rd

thank u!!!!

[old spindle]

she was the only one that responded to my thank you email 💔 is it a sign

LMAOOOOO

bro your name is so real

i guess those arent the most cooked waitlists to be on but still

omg 😭😭

i got waitlisted vandy and ucla too

ngl i thought vandy and ucla would be straight rejections so LMAOOO

:(

[bright trench]

ucla waitlist feels like hell

[old spindle]

i’m taking my ass off the waitlist 💔

[umbral dirge]

got the worst one too lmao

princeton takes nobody off

I don’t see myself getting into Duke

interview was useless

[untold sequoia]

no way duke rejects me after seeing my facecard

ive gotten 1 acceptance 1 wl(🍚) and 1 rejection(fuck georgetown) from the colleges i had interviews

surely duke wants abgs

[twilit meteor]

duke never even interviewed me

it is so over i fear

that or i'm an auto admit

[scarlet quarry]

I had an interview but after getting cooked so hard I’m not expecting anything

[quartz bridge]

i was deferred and mine is gone

[severe badge]

defurred

[old spindle]

duke hasnt taken anyone from my school according to naviance history am i cooked

2 applied this year

[old spindle]

princeton flipflops between taking nobody or taking 15% 😭

[umbral dirge]

15%????

source

?

[umbral dirge]

take me back to class of ‘26

did they waitlist more ppl this year?

[old spindle]

[glossy wharf]

[devout sigil]

[wanton ivy]

everyone on the east coast does it idk

[devout sigil]

even gt and stanford release hat time

ughhhh

[steel bloom]

7 PM is after people eat dinner so they can puke out all their food when they are rejected

they want to be different

[devout sigil]

the one in co2024☠️

dayum

imagine being that special person

[steel bloom]

or maybe they are trying to give people who had a bad ivy day a little more hope before they destroy it

[devout sigil]

IM CRYING

[devout sigil]

^^^^

[old spindle]

duke pls bless up ❤️

[devout sigil]

[old spindle]

wait does duke consider demonstrated interest 😰

[fossil urchin]

why do i have to wait till monday to either go to duke or uva

[weary yacht]

im in the exact same situation as you brother

[old spindle]

like on the common data set it says considered but on the website they say they don’t track it

[umbral dirge]

Idk how they would

I doubt it would be the deciding factor

[old spindle]

like some schools track visits, attending info events, etc

[mossy juniper]

did anyone else's parent tax return say waived..

i feel like its over for me

[tender bough]

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

(prob not happening)

[umbral dirge]

[sinful tide]

💀

[umbral dirge]

interview -> reject is so brutal

[sinful tide]

dyk how many ppl they interview

[umbral dirge]

too many

there’s no published count

[old spindle]

apparently not a huge percentage

probably similar to yales %

[umbral dirge]

I’d say more tbh

[brittle quartz]

no i went on a tour and they said they didnt

[umbral dirge]

tho I’ve seen less Duke interviews in my area in specific but i think that’s cuz duke alumni dobro settle here as much

[old spindle]

ooh okok good

[old spindle]

lmao dude they sent me a virtual interviewer from nyc for this reason i bet

nobody in my area got an interview except me 😭 i mean not like many apply in the first place but

[umbral dirge]

ok so if you get into duke can i get off the pton waitlist 👉👈

highkey need one of these two to hit

[sinful tide]

hmm idk if i should even be hopeful atp

#willtryagainin4years

or 2 idk

[weary yacht]

graduate school my beloved

[bright trench]

Maybe Duke waited so long to give out acceptances to cure us from waitlist and rejections

[weary yacht]

[old spindle]

[wet forum]

i got in haas early

so 3% acc rate is crazy wtf

[old spindle]

tineocollegeprep video look at it

[old spindle]

yeah ikr LMFAO

im genuinely shocked i got in because it was the one school i thought i had absolutely 0 chance at

[wet forum]

real

[wet forum]

thanks

[wet forum]

did u apply umich ross?

i got waitlisted

f

[old spindle]

nooo i didnt

i wanted to get out of the midwest

[mossy juniper]

[wet forum]

college

[old spindle]

trinity take me

[humble crest]

pls

take me

☹️

[old spindle]

dook

dook

dook

[regal lark]

apparently deferral to accepted rate is 10% year

this year

according to counselor

[forest rivet]

Are interviews prescreened

[old spindle]

perhaps

allegedly so

[forest rivet]

No shot I get in

[broken dome]

duke is my last decision

a shot at the dark :(

[glossy wharf]

wait so if i didnt get offered an interview am i cooked

[forest rivet]

No

[forest rivet]

Did u opt in for one

[fleet bay]

is d!h and northwestern similar? do they look for the same type of students?

[umbral dirge]

No

[fleet bay]

in which regard are the differences?

ive always been under the impression that northwestern is more interdisciplinary

and that for electrical engineering they're similar in most regards

[glossy wharf]

wdym

Oh on the commonapp

Yeah

[old spindle]

duke duke duke

[fossil urchin]

please duke

so i dont have to choose uva or rice

give me a solidified yes

i interviewed with you

[forest rivet]

Pleaseeee

[umbral dirge]

I mean duke is more sports oriented and overall far more happy while northwestern is depressing, cold and not as grade inflated

[old spindle]

dook dook

[umbral dirge]

as for the students they look for… I mean they’re both incredibly selective but duke even more so (HYPSM level) and they probably look for more chilled out ppl than nerdcore at nu and other t10s

[gritty palm]

is jhu admit a good sign for duke ☠️

since theyre tied in ranking ☠️ ☠️

holy cope

[agile ferry]

Yeah ts cope

🙏

[ancient garden]

d!h pls

[kindred tinsel]

duke dennis

[fleet bay]

duke's like the work hard play hard type?

[old spindle]

many schools are like that 😭

[fleet bay]

fair, honestly i fit both nerdcore and chilled out so

[fleet bay]

all of them are but some are more prevalent

like penn is defo work hard play hard

[old spindle]

honestly most top schools are big enough where its difficult to pinpoint a specific type of student that will get in

[fleet bay]

caltech is just work hard

[fleet bay]

yeah but imo there are trends

like for example dartmouth vs mit

there's a clear distinction

caltech vs usc

[old spindle]

fair enough hmm

well in the circles im in people call it the harvard of the south

so take that as you will

[wanton ivy]

d!h please let me in you're my last hope

[devout mango]

Does no Duke Intervew mean Im cooked?

[wanton ivy]

[gritty palm]

Prolly flipped a coin between us who knows lol

[lofty pelican]

UF like t50

[gritty palm]

Oh Cs right

[lofty pelican]

[crisp grove]

is d!h but with an i still banned

[elder nacelle]

I think

[forest rivet]

No

[umbral dirge]

We don’t know tbh

maybe? maybe not?

we should have a poll for acceptances with and without interview to figure it out tbh

[untold sequoia]

guys

[old spindle]

oh this would be interesting for sure

i fear response bias though

[untold sequoia]

yk that 90%+ of yale's incoming freshmen had an interview

[old spindle]

yes

[untold sequoia]

is this the case for duke too

or are they less selective w interviews

i have 2 friends who got a yale interview and they got rejected&wl'd

[old spindle]

lmao i got yale interview and rejected too

[untold sequoia]

how cooked am i even tho i got an interview js

kms

[old spindle]

1/4 of kids who got yale interviews got in

so theres still a large majority of people who didnt get in

even with an interview

[untold sequoia]

oh rlly

[untold sequoia]

wait whered u get this statistics
