Duke University (2024-2025)

[untold sequoia]

do u think itll be the same w duke

ybuhj034rucefijn

crashout crashout

[old spindle]

wait someone calculated this in the yale megathread

the AR with interview was like 25%, and the AR without interview was like 0.4%?

[untold sequoia]

w the colleges i had interviews i had a 50% acceptance rate tho

vassar (LAC#12) admit, rice wl, gtown reject

was lwk expecting a gtown reject tho bc they wanted all my previous SATs and i think they saw my 1300s shit from centuries ago

[untold sequoia]

omg thats soooo cool

right

its js yale caltech duke w prescreen

[old spindle]

ngl i didnt even know caltech interviewed

yeah allegedly so, apparently harvard does for international as well because pretty much all accepted international students have had an interview

[untold sequoia]

oh rlly

i thought harvard wasnt prescreening tho

[old spindle]

for internationals

anecdotally only intls with interviews have gotten in

[untold sequoia]

ohh

[old spindle]

honestly the acceptance rate for duke regardless is pretty cooked, but having an interview cannot hurt

bro i think they sent me a virtual interviewer from nyc cs i had no availability here 💔 if they do allthat just to reject me 💔

[untold sequoia]

oh yeah i got a virtual one too

everyone from my area got a virtual

ik 4 others who got a duke interview

😭

and they're too stacked

[old spindle]

what region are you from?

[untold sequoia]

im from the south

[old spindle]

i dont think anyone else i know who applied duke got an interview but then again my school only had 2 people apply 😭

wait where was your interviewer from?

[untold sequoia]

ohh half my schol applied to duke

she was from the same area too but i got a virtual interview

[old spindle]

i had a virtual stanford interview but she was also from my region, she just did virtual

ohhh yeah

no i mean like for me they sent one from nyc (im from suburban midwest) so i was shocked 😭

[untold sequoia]

LOLL

i mean my rice interview

[old spindle]

this is insanity

[cedar knoll]

DIHH

[untold sequoia]

was also from somewhere far away

DIHHH

[old spindle]

does rice prescreen

i heard princeton does something similar

if theres no availability

which is pretty interesting

[untold sequoia]

idt rice prescreened(?)

i wasnt too sure

i regret not ed1 or ed2ing rice tbh

[old spindle]

ahhh

[untold sequoia]

my grades are shit ass

[cedar knoll]

does duke prescreen

[untold sequoia]

my midyear transcript

yes

noooo😭

[old spindle]

its ok

my counselor

[untold sequoia]

help😭

[old spindle]

will call them back 💔 trust

[old spindle]

allegedly so

[untold sequoia]

HOPEFULLZYZY

YESSS

[old spindle]

duke take me 💔

[untold sequoia]

guys i got cmu and rice wl for data sci/stat and math with 1400s ; asian ; not first gen ; 21 Bs and 1 C

are yall proud of me

[old spindle]

this is aura

oh my gyatt

[untold sequoia]

lwk is

[old spindle]

oh i will say

interviews dont matter much

sometimes they do move a needle

[untold sequoia]

:((

[old spindle]

but usually they dont

but

[untold sequoia]

right :(((

[old spindle]

getting an interview when they dont try to offer interviews to everyone they can could be good

[untold sequoia]

hoppeefffulllylyyy

[old spindle]

i just mean the actual interview itself may not matter much

[untold sequoia]

[old spindle]

ngl i think i got waitlisted at princeton because of my interview

[untold sequoia]

oh no 😦

[old spindle]

like it was my best one by far even though my application for it was the worst (as in i had the most shit essays out of all my other applicantions)

duke was also one of my really shit applications but i had an amazing interview 💔 maybe this means something

[untold sequoia]

nooo

yeahh

hopefully we get in

😭

[old spindle]

duke pls 💔

[untold sequoia]

frl😭

[old spindle]

what are ur choices rn

[untold sequoia]

thinking of vassar lib arts #12

[old spindle]

ooooh!

[untold sequoia]

barely anyone knows it tho 😦

[old spindle]

vassar is fire what

[untold sequoia]

a bunch of my friends dont even know bwodoin

😭

i always have to explain

that its not a CC

or some random ass school

[old spindle]

💔

bro LACs are elite

[untold sequoia]

thanksss😭

[old spindle]

i want a private university option 💔

[untold sequoia]

thanks dude😭😭😭

[old spindle]

cal cal cal 😭

are u in state

same

are you going to cal day?

omg!!!

ill see duke decisions first

omg if i cant go ... nab me an extra cal beanie

a need bro

why is it lowkey aura

ok hes scary looking in still photos

theres a vid of him twerking in a mosh pit though

[umbral dirge]

I feel uncomfortable

[old spindle]

bro wait

hes so cute though

why is everyone hating 💔

[umbral dirge]

blue devils sound cute

pls let me in

I oscillate between I need this so bad and there’s no hope I’ve already been cooked everywhere else

[old spindle]

duke pls

i need to get into duke so i can email my interviewer

shes like so successful bro

i need her internship connections

[umbral dirge]

My interviewer ghosted my thank you email

but also wtf was that

they did an weekend master’s program there

did not have answers to most of my questions

and quizzed me on the chairmen of the federal reserve

Idk if interview matters

they prescreen but idk if it’s to the same degree as yale

interestingly enough, more of my friends got yale interviews than duke interviews

[gritty palm]

According to duke's cds the interview is only "considered"

meaning it shouldn't make or break any application

[old spindle]

bro all of my interviewers did except for my duke one

[old spindle]

maybe more people applied to yale than duke?

[gritty palm]

No

It's about the same

[old spindle]

oh i meant out of @umbral dirge 's friends

[neon basalt]

So did all of mines (and I got into the colleges)

[final gazelle]

lowk i got rejected to all the schools i had interviews from 🤓

[old spindle]

😭

[neon basalt]

Kaci I am so jealous

[final gazelle]

thinh give me mit

can we trade

[old spindle]

tin did u get a duke interview and when was it

[umbral dirge]

man all y’all hypsm admits are keeping duke

whyuy

[neon basalt]

I’ll gladly trade mit for Stanford

[umbral dirge]

let us have one

[final gazelle]

can we do that

[neon basalt]

Yes I did

I had it like mid Feb

[old spindle]

oooh

[neon basalt]

Funny thing is that I wrote Dartmouth in my Duke essay lmao

[fleet bay]

are intls cooked if no interview

[neon basalt]

And I still got interview request

[umbral dirge]

pls don’t commit to princeton

[old spindle]

i had mine feb 23rd

[umbral dirge]

I need that WL

[old spindle]

they reached out like on the 18th i didnt think i was getting one

[final gazelle]

pls dont commit to mit either im waitlisted there

[gritty palm]

You don't wanna go to mit bro

[old spindle]

LMFAOOO bro im triple checking my locis rn to make sure i didnt do that

[neon basalt]

😁

[umbral dirge]

I still don’t understand how I got cooked this bad

[neon basalt]

If trading was a thing I’d literally give all 8 ivys and mit for Stanford

You can only go to one school anyway

[umbral dirge]

I’m meeting my school’s college counselor to find out what tf happened

[final gazelle]

girl if trading was a thing i would take that

[old spindle]

LMFAO

[umbral dirge]

I’ll give you 100k for princeton

[old spindle]

bro itll be okay

[neon basalt]

Bro withdrawing won’t do anything

They’re not changing decisions now

[old spindle]

they accept people with yield in mind

and plus they'll probably pull from the waitlist

[final gazelle]

love stanford tho they were my one ❤️

[gritty palm]

Nothing happened, UVA is a t20 school with a campus like princeton, it's not that deep

[old spindle]

did u not get ivys?

[umbral dirge]

I’ll add my pokemon tcg account to sweeten the deal

[neon basalt]

I got everything but my top choice

..

[final gazelle]

i got columbia and cornell but like wasnt super excited abt either of them

rejected to the rest

[umbral dirge]

nuh uh, it’s significantly different

[final gazelle]

girl you can have my spot im probably committing to stanford

[old spindle]

thank u kaci

LMFAOOOOOOOO

[fleet bay]

northwestern waitlist please clutch up (or duke acceptance!!)

[umbral dirge]

I might not even stay with UVA cuz the prestige diff doesn’t warrant the cost difference with my state school

[quartz bridge]

so ready for my last decision

[final gazelle]

girl lets swap

[umbral dirge]

I also intend on transferring

[quartz bridge]

GIVE IT TO ME

[old spindle]

bro berks gonna be 85k/year for me

[neon basalt]

Yes

[final gazelle]

you got into my top i got into your top

this should be easy

[umbral dirge]

all the in-state students are gonna be laughing at me

[neon basalt]

Wait what major r u

[old spindle]

real bro 😭

[final gazelle]

erm im kinda having a quarter life crisis so idk

[umbral dirge]

“yale ‘29”

[neon basalt]

Well do u have a career in mind

Like pre med or cs engineering

[final gazelle]

probably cs engineering path

[gritty palm]

Don't be jealous of Yale either bro, UVA is way nicer

[neon basalt]

I see

[final gazelle]

imma be by silicon valley anyways

[old spindle]

is bro only living until 68 💔

[neon basalt]

I’m cs engineeeing too lol

[final gazelle]

or whatever cali geography is

[umbral dirge]

dawg it really aint

[gritty palm]

I was at Yale for 2 weeks this summer,it was lowkey not nice at all

[neon basalt]

I wanted Stanford bc grade inflation yet it’s the same cs strength as mit

[old spindle]

palo alto!

[neon basalt]

[umbral dirge]

UVA isn’t nice

[gritty palm]

Don't get blinded by prestige

Yale isn't in a nice area

[umbral dirge]

I am a prestige whoře

[gritty palm]

Alr

[final gazelle]

im just an east coast wh*re

and like mit is so much quirkier

[neon basalt]

true

[umbral dirge]

I crave an ivy league education to justify my elitism

[gritty palm]

You don't want an ivy league education rn bro

[final gazelle]

like mit and stanford are same strength but like i vibe heavy w mit

[gritty palm]

it's not what you think

[umbral dirge]

I can’t be posting on my class of ‘25 decisions page with uva up there

they’re all gonna think I’m a bum

[neon basalt]

Ill prob turn down the ivies for mit

Their cs just isn’t strong

[old spindle]

this is true

[final gazelle]

no bro i need the waitlist to move

🙏

[umbral dirge]

good, need as many ppl as possible to pass up on princeton

[neon basalt]

What even is the wl admit rate

For mit

[umbral dirge]

0

[final gazelle]

idk it changes every year

[old spindle]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[umbral dirge]

didn’t they take none last year

[final gazelle]

last year was like 9 people

[neon basalt]

Girl

[final gazelle]

no problem girl

erm

[neon basalt]

That’s sm fluctuation

[old spindle]

princeton core 😭

[gritty palm]

Berkely is also better than Columbia

Significantly

[final gazelle]

so yeah thinh can you contribute to uh waitlist movement

[umbral dirge]

Is anyone here actually needing a duke A

I swear y’all are all HYPSM admits

[neon basalt]

@old spindle when I get my Columbia T-shirt and acceptance package I’ll withdraw from Columbia

For you

💯

[umbral dirge]

these aren’t infinity stones y’all don’t need this

[gritty palm]

Private cost is valid yeah

[final gazelle]

at least mit doesnt wl like a thousand million people

[umbral dirge]

princeton had a 0 year

[neon basalt]

Rice is horrible

[umbral dirge]

normally at like 2%

has 15% a year too

[neon basalt]

Yes! After I visit their free trips and get free merch

[umbral dirge]

that was a good year to be on Princeton WL

[final gazelle]

ong

[umbral dirge]

Waitlist limbo feels as bad as 12 rejections tbh

[old spindle]

nah waitlist is much better imo

[umbral dirge]

why do i have to lock in again

[old spindle]

its limbo but theres a shot

a small shot but its there

[umbral dirge]

I felt free for once

[final gazelle]

this is so real

opening up 5 rejections and just seeing oh ok its over hurt

[umbral dirge]

yeahhh

[final gazelle]

like at least w mit i can cope by just drafting up a million loci

[umbral dirge]

5 Rs and 1 WL… a day to forget

[final gazelle]

and it lowk helps work through some emotions

[umbral dirge]

columbia will move A lot

No way any cross admits are going there

[final gazelle]

columbia lowk probably has a lot more waitlisted though

[old spindle]

it took like 5 minutes to open through them all LMAO it was kind of crazy

if i get into duke im gonna scream for five minutes

[final gazelle]

so percent might not change too much

[umbral dirge]

tbh everyone ik who got in is committing to columbia

i feel like they accounted for the yield decline

[final gazelle]

i mean like yeah

i was gonna commit to columbia probably before stanny came out

[old spindle]

iirc they accepted like 200 more?

[umbral dirge]

thus the increase in likelies too

[umbral dirge]

did you apply to duke

[final gazelle]

yeah

[old spindle]

duke duke duke

north carolina weather is amazing guys btw

its like mild year round

[untold sequoia]

bro ngl everyone ik got columbia wl

[umbral dirge]

I just need one but i got none

[untold sequoia]

shit is cooked

[old spindle]

at least compared to the fuckass place i live

[umbral dirge]

erm

I got straight rejected

[final gazelle]

yeah like thats what i was thinking

more movement but like more waitlisted

[untold sequoia]

notice that these ppl ik are like 1570+s w top10 n shit

[old spindle]

yeah this is true

[umbral dirge]

Screw cornell

[final gazelle]

so ultimately similar percent

[umbral dirge]

I thought I had a great shot

[old spindle]

well movement is movement! ill take it

[untold sequoia]

durham...

ok...

[umbral dirge]

I just like basketball 💔

[final gazelle]

[old spindle]

my parents dont get why im fighting the waitlist rn 💔 i just want a private school option since the costs will be the same

[umbral dirge]

it’s stupid expensive for such a mid school, I only considered it cuz I’m a stern waitlistee

[final gazelle]

if it helps i didnt get accepted to princeton so theres one less person preventing waitlist movement 😭

[final gazelle]

no campus either

[untold sequoia]

[grizzled steppe]

YASSS

[umbral dirge]

[untold sequoia]

[umbral dirge]

UVA is not T25 in my heart

[final gazelle]

[umbral dirge]

[severe badge]

tamu has a t20 eng program so im saying i go to a t20

[grizzled steppe]

[umbral dirge]

I only have a good track record with orange schools

[grizzled steppe]

[umbral dirge]

[old spindle]

💔

[final gazelle]

[umbral dirge]

ASU is #2 for innovation so I bagged a t2 school

[final gazelle]

this is also why i was confused why michigan was blue

[old spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/beat-stanford-uc-berkeley-cal-big-game-oski-gif-4438686

[final gazelle]

bc their logo is also yellow

[old spindle]

wtf is this gif

[final gazelle]

😦

[old spindle]

stanford had two massive BEAT CAL flags flying

[umbral dirge]

40 more hours

[final gazelle]

i need to get on my hating on berk game

i think thats like a prereq or smth

[old spindle]

OH.

[old spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/berkeley-gif-16935520278449654750

[final gazelle]

[old spindle]

[final gazelle]

i get so many "going to the no 1 public uni" reels

[old spindle]

[old spindle]

[final gazelle]

idk i feel like compared to stannys campus

[old spindle]

i just had my stanfordglazer goggles on

[final gazelle]

stanford looks so empty in all the pics

[old spindle]

LMFAO BRO its so spread out

[final gazelle]

berk looks so cool and rizzy

this image looks so cool bro

you can also just have my columbia for free

[old spindle]

wait what i do not remember it being this nice

this is true though there are some parts that are reallyyyy nice

[old spindle]

oh wonderous!

i legit thought i had no chance at it so i forgot about it

[final gazelle]

i felt that way w columbia a little bit lowk

like i romanticized it so much it felt weird to just like stop

[old spindle]

declining admissions just sucks in general

uci gave me a fat scholarship so im gonna feel really bad to decline it 😭

[final gazelle]

also i did not think i was getting into stanny so like i was locked in on columbia in my mind

[old spindle]

manifesting me with duke 😺

[final gazelle]

bro cwru's little notes at the end of the admissions letters got me sad

they also sent such a loaded acceptance package

[old spindle]

like they liked you so much to admit you but you dont want them

thats sad bro

YEAHHHHHH the notes

[final gazelle]

IKR

😭

like getting the invites to visiting days and stuff

[old spindle]

omg yeah 😭

[final gazelle]

oski is so cute for being so ugly

[old spindle]

oh 💔

[final gazelle]

although ngl the first time i saw it was like on a reel where he was twerking or smth

[final gazelle]

[old spindle]

WAS HE TWERKING IN A MOSHPIT

[final gazelle]

nonono just like on the ground

[old spindle]

[final gazelle]

[old spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/stanford-fear-the-tree-gif-3579890

[final gazelle]

THAT IS NOT A REDWOOD

[old spindle]

LMFAOOOOOOOO

[final gazelle]

[old spindle]

if you wear red pants it would work

[final gazelle]

not lore accurate

[final gazelle]

[old spindle]

i cant believe they made their mascot an inanimate object

[final gazelle]

[final gazelle]

i can envision you with a weirdly long face and covered in brown hair

[old spindle]

hey ive been told im pretty hairless

baldieeeeees

[final gazelle]

being bald at berk might be tough you might get sunburnt

and then you'll be red and look like a cardinal

[old spindle]

why is this lowkey aura

[final gazelle]

bro cal has so much unironic aura im telling you

too bad it costs like a million dollars an hour

[old spindle]

its ok i have the berkeley beanie to protect me

[final gazelle]

[old spindle]

[elder nacelle]

Yo what does it mean if I had five separate dreams in one night of opening the Duke portal and there was a different result each time

[bright trench]

Talk to a Pastor idk

[elder nacelle]

Oh

🗿

[limpid dew]

im curious how can there be 5 different results

[chilly hull]

Holy water and sage

[elder nacelle]

No I mean like it was a different result every time and it switched between accept waitlist and reject

Don’t ask me how my brain works 😭

[weary yacht]

I just woke up from a dream of seeing a rejection letter that said "congratulations you..." Then "PSYCH YOU THOUGHT"

[wanton ivy]

bro there are only three possible results

four maybe, idk if duke does guaranteed transfer programs

what were the other outcomes

[wanton ivy]

oh lol

[fleet bay]

duke comes out on april fools 7am for me

that'll leave me second guessing my decision lol

[elder nacelle]

😭😭😭

Rip

[regal lark]

does duke consider ed deferrals in the same rd pool

with like a small boost, or is it just them against each other

[limpid dew]

wait same

[elder nacelle]

Guys i got a duke instagram reel its a sign

[limpid dew]

omg god's giving you a sign

via reels

you getting in fs

[elder nacelle]

Dude i keep flipping between “im obv getting in” and “i only did 1 ‘optional’ prompt therefore theyre rejecting me” 😭

[limpid dew]

i forgot about the prompts tbh

FUCK

[elder nacelle]

Lmao

[limpid dew]

I DID NONE OF THE OPTIONALS

💔

[elder nacelle]

I mean i only wrote one optional bc the other 4 prompts didnt really apply to me 😭

[limpid dew]

[limpid dew]

[umbral dirge]

nah sometimes it’s just like ticking random critereon

[fleet bay]

good luck on duke!!! hope to see you at iso 🙂

[limpid dew]

same goes to you!!!!

[fleet bay]

also just to lyk, upenn isnt on the punching list

i sent some punches by editing the post request tho

[limpid dew]

[limpid dew]

https://tenor.com/view/duke-dennis-amp-dennis-duke-durag-duke-gif-4720620908800581196

[limpid dew]

i fear its too late ngl

[weary yacht]

prolly too late

[limpid dew]

hmm

[weary yacht]

u can crash out though

[limpid dew]

yeah i think i will

[weary yacht]

same here

[limpid dew]

hey at least you remember to write the optional essays

my dumb ass procrastinated the main one until december 31st

no time for the optionals

[weary yacht]

😭 i know im gonna get rejected in favor of some sweaty isef usaco kid

[umbral dirge]

wait how many essays were there

i feel like 80% of this thread got interviews

[weary yacht]

1 req (why duke) and 2 optional

[fleet bay]

@dire oracle just to lyk i sent 5k punches to upenn even tho its not on the list lol

[limpid dew]

well i didnt

[limpid dew]

idk how you did that tbh

but nice

[gritty palm]

3

[fleet bay]

i just manually sent the post request lol

[limpid dew]

yeah but i track by ID

penn doesnt have an ID

lmao

[fleet bay]

huh strange

maybe it's just not on the list?

[limpid dew]

yeah its not so none of your punches count

[fleet bay]

but it's on the list of punches?

[fleet bay]

it's on the leaderboard

[limpid dew]

ok what the heck

[fleet bay]

check the site lol

there's only stuff like kutztown university of pennsylvania etc

but not the actual penn

[limpid dew]

strangely enough

penn is in the database

so it does have an ID

just not sure why tf it didnt show up in search lmao

[fleet bay]

huh maybe there's too many "<buttfucknowheretown> university of pennsylvania"

[limpid dew]

true

sth is broken here & i'm too lazy to fix

[fleet bay]

justifiable

maybe we can fix it together at duke

[limpid dew]

AMAZING IDEA

duke istg you gotta let me in now

1 essay only no interviews

[gritty palm]

https://www.reddit.com/r/collegeresults/s/jqV9PupKkk

This guy gives me hope

We have like identical stats and results lmao

[limpid dew]

uh

also its 3 years ago

covid admits

[umbral dirge]

foes interview even matter

[umbral dirge]

he got jnto UCLA, Duke, Dartmouth and Stern

[gritty palm]

Ye im full pay too

[limpid dew]

the guy in reddit post above got a waitlist and a reject from 2 of his "very good interviews"

so i'd say hell no

[gritty palm]

he got WL Jhu and accepted dart

Other way around for me

so idk

🙏

[calm oasis]

Rejected from all ivys and i think i got ucla cuz they don’t consider 9th grades (mine were horrible)

Am i cooked for duke?

[limpid dew]

you will cook

and so will all of us here

[calm oasis]

Lol

[limpid dew]

this is basically a co29 group chat for duke

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[calm oasis]

Lmao

[dire oracle]

wait huh 😭

did u mean to tag me or the other guy

[fleet bay]

oops i meant the other guy

mb

[craggy wren]

wait that’s tuff

i used to resell too

i put it as one of my ecs but apparently they don’t like resellers 😭

[cedar knoll]

Shit it was also one of my ECs

How u know they don’t like resellers

[gritty palm]

Because it’s kind of a weird ec bro

Sitting on your computer scalping

[heady bolt]

I think i put reselling as my 8th EC

I kinda regret including it

[cedar knoll]

Dang bro

My essay was about how I made money different ways

[heady bolt]

It probably made me look like a greedy capitalist

[gritty palm]

Ye

[cedar knoll]

Reselling was like on my essay too and on my EC list

😭

Nobody told me that shit was bad

[gritty palm]

Bro ur trying to go to China

They don’t like capitalism there

smh

[cedar knoll]

Nah

[heady bolt]

Oh imagine the AO had to buy a scalped console for their kid

😭

[cedar knoll]

Blame the game not the player

[lofty pelican]

I phrased it as online arbitrage and how I am making markets more efficient 😭

Cuz I mean it’s the same as Mev and stuff

[odd hollow]

Ok I saw a Reddit post abt this and I’m wondering

Does Robertson semifinalist help with Duke

[limpid dew]

i think somewhat yes

[umbral dirge]

idts, ik one who got rejected from unc

[fleet bay]

100% agree lol i was only there because tox gave me a free membership for making nft bots lmao

[umbral dirge]

but if you are a scholar you’re obviously in

[fleet bay]

hidden too

[odd hollow]

Yea I’m not

[odd hollow]

Ugh

Did they let the admissions office know that or

[limpid dew]

probably not

[odd hollow]

I updated Duke admissions in early Feb with that

[umbral dirge]

they did not

[limpid dew]

then yes they do

if you explicitly told them

[regal lark]

is it bad that i sent an update in early march after my loci in early feb, it was way shorter and just elaborated on one ec and a short like thing after -- i was deferred ed

[umbral dirge]

Should I just send my princeton LOCI to them rn

I lowkey need this A

[old spindle]

LMAO

[lofty pelican]

Yeah ik a ton of ppl got banned from my group for leaking did you make like airdrop farmers?

[old spindle]

control c control v

[lofty pelican]

or like the murakami seed thing

[regal lark]

🥲 ?

[old spindle]

it’s not bad

there’s just no guarantee they will see it

[regal lark]

ok then thats fine idt it was that big of an update but if they do cool

[scarlet quarry]

Chatgpt

☠️

Jk

[regal lark]

i hope they take like 5 people from my school this year

[scarlet quarry]

Bro they take like

2% off the WL

It’s wraps

[spark vigil]

d!h

[old spindle]

bro duke hasn’t taken anyone from my school

at least since 2017

is this ggs wraps or no

i was the first berk admit since 2018 though 💔

[quartz bridge]

they havent taken anyone from my school since 2021

[limpid dew]

duke is rare from my school & we're the top hs in vietnam

so it is wraps for me 💔

[gritty palm]

Lol

I was staff there

Damn I did so much in 8th grade

Interesting times

[regal lark]

u got yale tho thats tough

my school we had 3 ed admits and 4 deferrals

and a bunch of rejections

[quartz bridge]

we had 2 ed to duke from my school. 1 defer (me) and 1 reject

[regal lark]

we range from like 5-6 admits to a little less little more

[quartz bridge]

yeahhh super greatful

they havent taken anyone from my school ever i think (yale)

[regal lark]

i just hope duke works out

[old spindle]

bro this is giving me hope for duke 💔

[quartz bridge]

portal astrology will make you go crazy its not worth it

like i didnt do any of the cornell astrology

cant believe this is going to be my last decision'

why did they decide to be so different too

[regal lark]

theres like some alumni weekend going on this weekend

[old spindle]

would you take duke over yale

[odd hollow]

Duke took 1 RD last year

And my legacy friend ED this year

[regal lark]

does duke compare people across trinity and pratt

and do the ed defers get compared to rd

[old spindle]

is it different committees per school

[regal lark]

my counselor said 10% acceptance rate from deferral pool this year

[old spindle]

didn’t someone say the ed defer rate was 10%

yeah it’s kind of insane

do they defer very little?

[quartz bridge]

I feel like it should be an obious no, but I ED to duke it was my top choice

[regal lark]

yeah its like 15% prob

[quartz bridge]

and I just really love d the culture

the bball and the vibes

[regal lark]

but some are probably just legacy ones that are courtesey

[quartz bridge]

are unmatchable

and the collaborative community all stuck out to me

[quartz bridge]

yes around 15% this year

apparently
