pre-screeneeD?

pretty sure its availability but idk

fuck

[grizzled steppe]

[scarlet quarry]

as did I

[wet forum]

i know lots of people get in without interviews

for harvard/yale no interview=cooked

but like half of duke gets in without interview

[scarlet quarry]

but I got one

[scarlet quarry]

this was a few years ago

[wet forum]

i literally did research at duke 😭

[scarlet quarry]

not as much the case anymore ngl

[wet forum]

what about last year?

[scarlet quarry]

because

they changed their shit

[scarlet quarry]

last year is when they changed it

[odd hollow]

This seems to indicate prescreen

[umbral dirge]

yay prescreening

[wet forum]

u think its a different type of pre screen

[umbral dirge]

i got duke but not yale

[wet forum]

like people who dontj do optional essays

or people with unique situations?

[odd hollow]

Nah

[wet forum]

fuck

[umbral dirge]

I did all 3 and still got an interview

[wet forum]

im cooked?

[quartz bridge]

i love that the umich confetti never stops

[wet forum]

no interview bay area

its joever

[odd hollow]

Everyone ik who got interview did both optional

[wet forum]

fuck

i literally did research AT DUKE

[odd hollow]

I did both optional and glimpse

And got an interview still

[wet forum]

??? /

[odd hollow]

But also

[scarlet quarry]

same

[wet forum]

WHAT

[umbral dirge]

yeah, but i feel like the interview is more common than yale

[scarlet quarry]

my glimpse vid

was fire

[dapper willow]

When there are less than 24 hours until decisions but I am an a2cer (I have no patience)

[scarlet quarry]

I really liked it

[wet forum]

is there any hope for no interview kids

[odd hollow]

Agreed

[quartz bridge]

yale interviews dont mean ur auto reject. i got accepted without an interview and so did everyone in my area.

[umbral dirge]

I didn’t do glimpse

[scarlet quarry]

my bad king

[odd hollow]

Yea I got all prescreen interviews

[grizzled steppe]

chat i had a 3.66 UW gpa and a 1480 and i got interview i dont think they are prescreening shit 😭 🙏

[scarlet quarry]

are you in NC?

[grizzled steppe]

no

[odd hollow]

Yeah there were a few yale kids who got in w/o interview

[regal lark]

did anyone who did duke ed get an interview late in november

[scarlet quarry]

all duke ed kids

[quartz bridge]

infact all the kids who ik got rejected from yale here had an interview 😭

[scarlet quarry]

get interviews

[odd hollow]

Duke ED isn’t orescreened

[quartz bridge]

me

I got an interview november 21st i think

[regal lark]

maybe thats a good sign idk

usually later interviewers mean they mess with u

[quartz bridge]

well i got deferred

[regal lark]

same

[umbral dirge]

yale clears

[quartz bridge]

i think prob yale, but duke is really good for my major

[heady bolt]

most rd applicants who get interviews get rejected interview doesnt mean anything about the strength of your application

[scarlet quarry]

\

[grizzled steppe]

yup

[quartz bridge]

DM Envi Sci and Econ

duke has such good resources for envi sci

plus duke forest >>>

[wet forum]

PLEASE GO TO YALE

I WANT DUKE

[quartz bridge]

my parents are prob going to make me go to yale though so it doesnt matter

[wet forum]

did u get yale or duke interview?

whats ur region too

[quartz bridge]

but i LOVE duke

[kindred tinsel]

then give me yale

[quartz bridge]

i got duke interview (but i think they interview everyone for ED, no yale interview)

[kindred tinsel]

🥀 🥀 🥀

[quartz bridge]

DC metro region

[regal lark]

yeah i got my interview on the 19th of november, the weird thing was that the interviewer did basically the exact same major i wanted to

and specialize in a very similar thing

[quartz bridge]

omg i remember talking to you about it

bc we were both scared about no interviews

[wet forum]

oh you got deferred?

wait

[quartz bridge]

yes, I ED to duke

😭

i only had 2 total interviews the entire college app process

duke and rice

see thats actually why I LOVE duke

huge huge huge sports fan

[dapper willow]

cal also has sports tbf

isnt football decent there

fair

[quartz bridge]

honestly yale prob has the best sports out of any ivy

so im okay

also harvard v yale seems so fun

[dapper willow]

duke is very into their sports

[quartz bridge]

my boss goes to harvard so im glad ill get to see her again

[dapper willow]

theyre doing decent for march madness although i think their womens team just got knocked out

[odd hollow]

Yea

[quartz bridge]

the women cant play offense

its acc so bad

[regal lark]

ur getting cooked in that confidential chat

[umbral dirge]

I love duke basketball

[quartz bridge]

duke men look unbeatable though

[umbral dirge]

but duke football is ass

and uva baseball is goated

[dapper willow]

duke students are either chill or absolutely insufferable ime

[odd hollow]

It’s chill bro I’m just saying what I heard from him

Idc

[regal lark]

yeah ur chillin

[umbral dirge]

i wish uva basketball makes that 2019 run again

[dapper willow]

ive never met a duke student who i had a neutral opinion of

[umbral dirge]

I don’t like any of them that I know

[regal lark]

every duke student in my area feels the need to repost every single basketball game post

[umbral dirge]

the most conservative lad from my school goes there

[quartz bridge]

uva quickly became my least favorite choice bc of mcintire admissions and how bad their sports have been lately LMAO

[dapper willow]

thats so real ngl

[umbral dirge]

also a predator

[quartz bridge]

i would too ngl

im a uconn wbb fan

i repost all their stuff

[umbral dirge]

yeahhh i really need to land mcintire and hopefully reapply for echols

[regal lark]

half of them have never even touched a basketball

[humble crest]

i got an interview

[quartz bridge]

i got echols but idk how usefull it is

[humble crest]

but so did everyone ik

[humble crest]

dang i need echols

and mcinitre

[umbral dirge]

Interviews are rarer in my area

[humble crest]

@umbral dirge u finna go to uva?

[umbral dirge]

no money tho

[humble crest]

i got in too but i dont wanna risk it

[umbral dirge]

I just hare doreign language

[quartz bridge]

my interviewer was a huge coach K fan

talked abt meeting him during tenting for 10 mins

[umbral dirge]

my parents are pushing me towards it and to not save money

[quartz bridge]

and i acc vibed with him bc of that

[humble crest]

mine talked aobut how he was friends w the founder of some billion dollar company that everyone from my state knows

[umbral dirge]

so probably sticking to uva

[humble crest]

r u oos or instate

[quartz bridge]

uva is such a great school though why does ur display name say loser 😭

i wouldve picked it over cornell

[umbral dirge]

UVA vs Rutgers vs BU (but kinda out of the picture ngl)

[humble crest]

bc u didnt apply dyson

[dapper willow]

most dukies love him

[humble crest]

or nolan

[umbral dirge]

I’m paying 320 k 😭

[humble crest]

total?

[odd hollow]

A2C header just changed 😫

[dapper willow]

youll bond with alums if you learn abt coach k

[humble crest]

thats what ill be paying too

[lyric quarry]

19 hours left

[quartz bridge]

true, but theres a lot of things i dislike abt cornell

[umbral dirge]

I think the ILR AOs knew I was going to try to transfer out of it to Dyson or CAS

[quartz bridge]

isolation, grade deflation, weather, student ratings, etc

[umbral dirge]

I only applied to ILR cuz of the admissions boost

[dapper willow]

go thank the people mentioned in #🖋-changelog

[umbral dirge]

Mcintire has insane placement for some reason

makes me feel less terrible

[quartz bridge]

i unexpectedly got umich too yesterday but i still wouldve chosen uva i think

[umbral dirge]

Mine was harvard

I applied to all but harv

hey hey cal is the same price

[quartz bridge]

i dont like harvard campus

yale has a great campus

along with princeton

[umbral dirge]

Harvard is pretty but boston is cold and it lowkey doesn’t match up with brown, yale or princeton campus wise

columbia is by far the worst of the ivy campuses

[quartz bridge]

i think i need to watch gilmore girls

all i remember about yale is yygs 2 years ago

[umbral dirge]

it’s so small and locked down

[humble crest]

guys

[quartz bridge]

columbias campus is just gating in the white people from the POC crowd in nyc

sad truth

[wet forum]

did u get into rice

[humble crest]

if everyone says d!h 7 times you'll get in

[quartz bridge]

waiting list, but tbf my interview was terrible

[wet forum]

[quartz bridge]

[wet forum]

[quartz bridge]

LMAO

[humble crest]

stern might be harder

[quartz bridge]

the only hint i had about yale was the sid email

[umbral dirge]

I got a stern WL

[ancient garden]

you've got to say it 31 times

[quartz bridge]

yale rd this year was 3.6 percent

rea was 10 something percent

[humble crest]

they put me in shanghai instead of waitlist

[umbral dirge]

hush yale admits

there’s too many od you

I feel envious

[ancient garden]

LMFAO

[humble crest]

rea without legacy or athlete is lower than rd

[ancient garden]

i lowk like duke more

[humble crest]

real

but yale is aura

[ancient garden]

not to be ungrateful

[humble crest]

imagine how much aura you have

when u say

[umbral dirge]

they’re trying to deport me to london to go to stern

[humble crest]

yale

[quartz bridge]

omg you were the yale audit person OMG

[umbral dirge]

I’d rather go to uva than nyu tbh

[ancient garden]

audit person :0

[umbral dirge]

lame school

[ancient garden]

i wasn't audited

idt so

[untold sequoia]

guys am i cooked if i have legacy for duke but didnt ed and rd instead

[ancient garden]

i got a senior interview and they asked me for forms tho

[humble crest]

stern > uva > nyu (non stern)

[quartz bridge]

wait you said something abt ur reccomenders being verified right?

[humble crest]

what does audit mean

[ancient garden]

oh no 😭

[humble crest]

like in what way

[quartz bridge]

oh maybe that was someone else

[humble crest]

whats ur act

[umbral dirge]

fair, but mcintire places the same as stern

[ancient garden]

mayhaps

[untold sequoia]

doeslegacy even help for rd

[umbral dirge]

110k median salary is solid

[quartz bridge]

i think you have the same chance as every other applicant, which means ur most likely cooked

[untold sequoia]

670 800 bc im a immigrant

[humble crest]

stern has more connections tho plus guranteed business school + location

[humble crest]

[humble crest]

[untold sequoia]

[quartz bridge]

like i somehow clutched

[untold sequoia]

but prob bc of legacy

[umbral dirge]

[humble crest]

doesnt matter if u dont have a 69 act or 69420 sat ur cooked

[humble crest]

[untold sequoia]

tbh

[humble crest]

ssp

[umbral dirge]

3 T20s cap

[humble crest]

[quartz bridge]

but i do think it helped me show demonstrated interest (first person ever from my hs to get admitted to yale)

[umbral dirge]

ssp is mid

[humble crest]

real

[umbral dirge]

they rejected me

[quartz bridge]

and weve had a chess grandmaster graduate 💀

[steel bloom]

i got rejected off ssp wl

[quartz bridge]

[humble crest]

[umbral dirge]

college admissions has been insane

[humble crest]

[humble crest]

[quartz bridge]

i mean its mit, thats gonna get you anything

[umbral dirge]

[humble crest]

like if u wanna break into finance, its extremely difficult

[steel bloom]

roblox is such a stagnant company tho

[humble crest]

if u dont go to target

[steel bloom]

how they pay that much

[umbral dirge]

my friend at cornell is not getting paid this summer

[quartz bridge]

idk if i wanna do IB it sounds very gruelsome

[gritty palm]

iu kelley is too high, dukeis too low, georgetown is also too low

[humble crest]

i agree for the most part

[umbral dirge]

[wet forum]

dartmouth is S+

[umbral dirge]

[wet forum]

dartmouth is good for 2 things

[scarlet quarry]

I’m going to give her pepper spray as well

[wet forum]

government and finance

[umbral dirge]

honestly probably closer to S- than S

like being in the middle of nowhere is a huge disadvantage

[humble crest]

[umbral dirge]

Duke should be higher

[umbral dirge]

USC doesn’t place all that crazy
