[blissful gust]

wswspswpspwpsw

[modern thunder]

bro 😭 so then, what would you say JHU + WashU accept means for HYPS? i keep seeing you say JHU does yield while WashU doesn't or whatever

also sorry this was so far back i was scrolling from my last read in this channel lmao

[exotic leaf]

i mean u can obv make both and make a hypsm

u could get rejected both and make a hypsm

u could get wl both and make a hypsm

no1 can say

all i meant was that i noticed a lot of rlly cracked ppl get wl jhu but also make washu

a lot of these ppl already got in their rea school too

[modern thunder]

mhm i see i see

[exotic leaf]

there are just trends one could see but they shouldnt be taken too seriously

ik cracked ppl that made jhu too

for jhu yield i just mean to say that if they have some reason to believe u wouldnt go they wouldnt admit u

[modern thunder]

lmao

my close friend got in ED2 earlier from my school

and then i got in RD

and we had similar activities

we were on the same robotics team and stuff

[exotic leaf]

what school ed2

[modern thunder]

maybe they saw that 😂

[modern thunder]

JHU

[exotic leaf]

u prob were gonna get in eithe rway

did u make washu

[modern thunder]

yes

[exotic leaf]

thats good

u seem to be getting everything u should be fine

also 1 college cant predict if ull make another

they have seperate admissions

[modern thunder]

yeah

[exotic leaf]

but u can prob tell how strong ur app is at least

issue is if ur too cracked and get wl for example

or u just get wl/rejected cuz of fit

ull never know tho

[modern thunder]

idk my top school is still yale and i'm hoping that i can get in on thursday lol

[lucid sierra]

can’t afford 🥲

[modern thunder]

but i'm very happy with my options rn so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

it'll turn out fine whatever happens

[exotic leaf]

what u get so far

[modern thunder]

JHU + Hodson Trust Scholar
WashU
Grinnell
Carleton
GT + Stamps Finalist
UVA + Rodman Scholar

Rejected CMU, UFlorida, UCLA; WL UChicago

[lavish ruin]

Frick duke

Stupid poopoo school

[dreamy snow]

😭

[mellow shore]

vro

[dreamy snow]

I love Duke

Pls accept me

[mellow shore]

https://giphy.com/gifs/meme-nah-handshake-T6DELiWJGBihzOhfM1

[mellow shore]

the true question is, will you love them if they reject you?

[exotic leaf]

hodson and stamps damn

[modern thunder]

😂 maybe, they are not as generous with aid as some other T20s

[exotic leaf]

what did u have

[exotic leaf]

what were ur stats

[lavish ruin]

Bro when i did my interview ed my interviewer forgot to show up

Skibidi

[exotic leaf]

im assuming u had good community service

[lavish ruin]

What does florida even want bruh

I got rejected from there too

[modern thunder]

1550, 4.0UW I'm technically val but school doesn't let you report rank lol

[modern thunder]

yeah i did a lot of volunteering stuff and research

no ISEF tho

[exotic leaf]

why do u think u got ucla reject

or cmu

ull prob get an ivy

[modern thunder]

CMU I really have no clue. I thought my essays for CMU were among the best ones I wrote

[exotic leaf]

ucla?

ucla def has some stat filters

but u have a 4.0

[modern thunder]

if anything they might not have thought I was the right fit because I wasn't as technical with my awards or anything

for CMU

[exotic leaf]

yea but its not as hollistic

at my friends hs who is oos

[modern thunder]

UCLA was probably my essays

[lavish ruin]

I had no technical awards

[exotic leaf]

if u have a certain gpa

as long as ur ecs are solid

ull get into ucla

like they always take 10 ppl from his hs oos

[modern thunder]

interesting

[lavish ruin]

I had a few mun ones, some scholastic bowl ones, and a russian olympiad

[exotic leaf]

but its alwyas the 10 best apps

obv not 10 every year

what major did u do cmu

[modern thunder]

Comp Bio

[lavish ruin]

Thats why

[modern thunder]

still SCS so cooked 💀

[exotic leaf]

prob scs

[lavish ruin]

Scs

[exotic leaf]

what abt ucla

jhu and gtech

[lavish ruin]

How does one even niche in comp bio

[modern thunder]

I did CS at UCLA, JHU and GTech

[exotic leaf]

hmm

r u in a unique geography

[modern thunder]

iowa

[exotic leaf]

i think some schools with more hollistic

like tech or jhu

makes sense

ucla cs prob was just brutal

[lavish ruin]

What activities even make sense for that lwk

[modern thunder]

mainly research

[exotic leaf]

did u get a likely

[modern thunder]

nah

I know at least 4 people from my state got columbia likely tho

3 of which were from the same school

lmao

[exotic leaf]

ik columbia sent

a lot of likelys

to rural states

majority prob

[lavish ruin]

They forgot to send me one

How unprofessional

[modern thunder]

ik one of them but they're not planning to go to columbia

they got GT full Stamps so

[exotic leaf]

damn

[modern thunder]

i didn't make it past finalist lol

[exotic leaf]

if u got gt full ride its safe to assume ur app is good enough for an ivy

[exotic leaf]

ur oos right

im assuming its just way harder oos

[modern thunder]

yeah

[exotic leaf]

top 25

[modern thunder]

yeah

[exotic leaf]

compared to in state

so ur competing with all sweats

[modern thunder]

yup

[plain plover]

u larp so much about what a hypsm app is omg 😭

[modern thunder]

but my harvard REA roommate didn't even get it either

[plain plover]

i dont think ive ever seen u not talking

[modern thunder]

😭

[plain plover]

about this

[exotic leaf]

jhu hodson is good

[exotic leaf]

when did i larp

whats ur problem 🤣

when did i even say the word hypsm rn

i said its safe to assume he's compettiive enough for an ivy

ur just instigating for no reason

not nice.

[exotic leaf]

whyd u do harvard rea

[lavish ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/net-epstein-gif-7773007491111019523

[modern thunder]

nah i didn't

i did Yale

[exotic leaf]

how much is jhu for u

[modern thunder]

i was saying my roommate at Stamps weekend lmao

[modern thunder]

$19k/yr still

[exotic leaf]

thats p cheap

idk if jhu cs is good tho

r u gonna go to jhu or tech

[modern thunder]

JHU > tech for me cuz financials

[exotic leaf]

how much is tech

[modern thunder]

Stamps finalist you get in state tuition waiver

[exotic leaf]

i think u were saying this yday in some other channel

[modern thunder]

so it's still about $30k

[exotic leaf]

but tech is prob better for ur major

[modern thunder]

$32 maybe

i forgot

[modern thunder]

yeah 😭

[exotic leaf]

idk if jhu cs is that good tbh

[lavish ruin]

32$ a year for georgia tech!!

Thats a steal

[exotic leaf]

also i heard jhu is rlly depressing

[modern thunder]

i mean USnews says it's 21 but CSrankings.org is like 40

[exotic leaf]

i think its a good school but ull have no life

but that might just be premed

[exotic leaf]

i mean i just dont know of any1 who went to jhu for cs

ik ppl who got in but didnt go tho

[modern thunder]

idk if yale is any better for CS 😂

[exotic leaf]

name recogntition

[modern thunder]

but i didn't like yale because of their CS programs, there were some other reasons i applied REA

[exotic leaf]

u should look at the alumini job

as best predictor

im sure yale is good on any resume

also a lot of ppl do end up switching majors

[modern thunder]

yeah true

[exotic leaf]

ik jhu is solid for econ

[modern thunder]

oh really interesting

i didn't know that

[sonic flint]

https://tenor.com/view/61-41-67-61-new-meme-61-meme-gif-4909211002993893210

[lavish ruin]

Bruh aint no update gonna do anything rn

[green oasis]

[dreamy snow]

Portal astrology on reddit for duke rn is insane

People have gone insane

[plain plover]

[dreamy snow]

Like we have lost it

LOST IT

Lowkey debating if this is one of my irl friends

Cause she's crazy about duke

[buoyant mural]

LMAO

White dot are we fr

[dusty axle]

White = waitlist

Same letter

[native steppe]

Duke actually won't release decisions at all

You'll just figure it out when the admitted students newsletter comes out

[mellow shore]

source?

[native steppe]

Was revealed to me in a dream

[mellow shore]

nvm I don't get jokes 😭

[violet jungle]

If we ignore portal Astro implications this is a semi normal thing to ask

Where is this ominous whit dot coming from

[dreamy snow]

Litterally

[dreamy snow]

Ngl I didnt understand either

[violet jungle]

What the hell

[dreamy snow]

The blue header above the banner

[violet jungle]

I could only guess the banner is for some reason a text box and they had to put. Something????

[dreamy snow]

Im thinking so too

This is computer science stuff

[native cave]

When is Duke coming out

[dreamy snow]

In order for the header to stay put they had to type something

[dreamy snow]

No one knows

Its speculated 31st

[native cave]

Is not getting a interview for Duke cooked?

I have no idea how the interview process works for Duke

[dreamy snow]

No

Honestly I wouldn't sweat it

Interview no interview

Ppl years ago have gotten in without one

[maiden apex]

No out of three of my friends only one got the interview, he was rejected

[ashen spruce]

hey so my dot is like blue not white

[plain plover]

gtfo. we are not starting this shit 😭

[ashen spruce]

my bad gang 💔

[plain plover]

ur gonna send someone into dukepsychosis

😭 😭

[ashen spruce]

i actually thought this was a whole another speculation thing but there’s like nothing about it

i guess i’m the one in a dukepsychosis

[native steppe]

I don't have a dot I have a comma

[dreamy snow]

LMFAOO

[dreamy snow]

I thought it was fake cause I legit couldn't do it at first

[dreamy snow]

Full ride scholarship at duke

I actually need a full ride at Duke tho

I will stay instate if I get that at duke

[native cave]

Lmao okay bet

[native cave]

Sounds good, lol I be seeing u in every chat😂

[dreamy snow]

LMAOO

[native cave]

We applied to a lot of the same

[lucid sierra]

I GOT IN OMGGMGMMGMGMGGMMGMGMGMGM

I GOT THE WHITE DOT TOO

YESSS

[bleak oasis]

LMAO wtf

[lucid sierra]

michigan

[dreamy snow]

LMFAO

[plain plover]

good choice

ion think duke has it in them this year

[bleak oasis]

yaxel landebourg

[bleak oasis]

yeah cuz everyone is 18 years old

[lavish hatch]

accepted + 100k stipend

• full ride

• everything

[plain plover]

100k research stipend 😍

[lavish hatch]

• a nobel prize

• next in chair to become duke pruzz (president huzz)

[lofty charm]

Duke🙏🏾

[bleak oasis]

same but they might be cooked

[lofty charm]

Nah, I trust, they got till Friday to reset and lock in

[bleak oasis]

they better accept me tho 🙏

i glaze them in march madness so hard

LOL

[lofty charm]

Lowk, Duke is the reason I started following basketball, I’ve only been into it since last year, so 🤞🏾, my fandom ends up well

[bleak oasis]

thats firee theyre definitely one of the most well known programs

especially for developing nba talent

only problem in march madness is lack of experience

but i believe in them

[lofty charm]

Yeah, 🤞🏾

🤞🏾 Duke wins, and we all get in

[maiden apex]

I just got a letter that they are PAYING ME to attend duke

[lavish hatch]

Instead of March madness we should js have Astro madness: which a2c member will go to extreme lengths to find ‘signs’ within their portal. Cuz highkey people go crazy with sloppy Astro

Winner gets to ‘find’ their decision early

Or winner gets a Duke interview

with a current student in a2c

[prisma quail]

that UCB guy would win

[lavish hatch]

LMAOO

[lavish hatch]

Wait who is he

[neon peak]

Low-key me, been down some bad rabbit holes this weekend 😭

[lavish hatch]

Son

bro

Like on a real note don’t stress

Whatever happens will be ok

I promise

Last year I was rejected from every internship/program I applied to, but one

[neon peak]

Ya ik, I weirdly channel stress into trying to know everything in advance

[lavish hatch]

and initially I was upset and hated that i had no options and all my friends had internships while I had some college prep program offer

I ended up accepting it, and loved the entire thing

it really takes one offer

you’ll end up finding joy wherever you commit

[neon peak]

I agree, it's just nerve wracking rn

I got some good options but the only things I have left are better ones

[lavish hatch]

What do you have

[neon peak]

I'll dm

[prisma quail]

check r/ucadmissions

There's a guy that posted an entire report

[fallow bronze]

ME TOO

MY DOT IS INVISIBLE SND BLUE BUT WHEN I HIGHLIGHT IT SHOWS UP BLUE

[native steppe]

No way yall are frl getting duke portal psychosis

[novel zodiac]

when is duke releasing

[maiden apex]

Next year

[opaque aspen]

is duke coming out after the ivy day

[fallow bronze]

people suspect the monday after

[buoyant mural]

you can do that for some unis before results even come out

umich does the same

[fresh turtle]

ah okay

[dusty axle]

About what

[fresh turtle]

this

any portal astro rule breaks

does this count

[dusty axle]

If people panic then no

If it’s normal then it’s fine

[fresh turtle]

ill just take it down then

[dusty axle]

Expect an email from Duke today

Announcing Monday

7pm et

Hope they listened

[green oasis]

[near dune]

why is it called white dots

is there any myth

[violet jungle]

If you go to your Duke portal

Highlight the blue banner

There’s a white dot

But for some people

It’s blue

We are having an intellectual convo about whether this means you’re accepted

[lucid sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/gg-gif-7705755201202252655

[dusty axle]

No we’re not

We all know it’s stupid

[dusty axle]

“Myth”

What’s next

“Guys is there any portal folklore”

[violet jungle]

...................................like i said....................... we are having an indepth intelectual conversation about which color dot means youre accepted.......................

[dusty axle]

We should have white dot vs blue dot invite contest

[dreamy snow]

61k apps

My gosh

[native steppe]

Where are u seeing this

[dreamy snow]

On thecollegenavigayor

Navigator ig

Idk where she got the info from but im assuming its posted somewhere on dukes website

[maiden apex]

Why are they saying ed deferred aren’t getting waitlisted at all

[dreamy snow]

They made up there minds ig

[maiden apex]

Well the rejected 85% deferred probably includes people who didnt even submit their LOCI right? Since deferred applicants are automatically moved to rd without a specific form

[hushed plume]

Blue dot = accepted

[fading bone]

what dots where do u see dots

😭

[lavish hatch]

Are you a blue dot

[fading bone]

my banner is grey

[lavish hatch]

1 million research grant

[native steppe]

i dont have a dot i have a square

what does that eman

[prisma quail]

I have an octagon what does this mean

[hoary karma]

8 is lucky in china this means you got in on full-ride scholarship

cgs

[prisma quail]

i didn’t even apply financial aid but yes yes duke gave me money to attend

[exotic leaf]

is duke interview needed to get in

[plain plover]

duke has said it isnt needed and that ur app is complete without it, however, i would imagine its like yale where a majority if not close to everybody admitted during this rd cycle will have had one

[exotic leaf]

app 1/3 of ppl get in without

[modern thunder]

My interviewer told me tomorrow

😭🙏

[exotic leaf]

apparnetly if u got an interview

[modern thunder]

@dusty axle

[exotic leaf]

u have a 0.8% chance of getting in

[exotic leaf]

official insta says march 31

[modern thunder]

This is DKU

Not Duke

[exotic leaf]

o

[dusty axle]

I will add but we won’t be pinging the thread

[exotic leaf]

Duke

76.8% not interviewed & not accepted
19.2% interviewed & not accepted
3.2% not interviewed & accepted
.8% interviewed & accepted
=100%

[plain plover]

where do u find these numbers 😭

where do u find the time to find these numbers

[exotic leaf]

from an alumini interviewer who made a post on reddit

not sure if its true but every1 from my school didnt get a duke interview last year adn we had 4 ppl admitted

[plain plover]

i think ur reading too much into things and finding stats off reddit that are not reliable

[exotic leaf]

no i dmd the guy as well

a long time ago

but it doesnt seem to be that make or break like for yale ig

i think ppl still get in without one from yale just not as much

its prob more than 10% that ppl say online tho since that was a random sample of 24% of a yale recent undergrad class

[dry magnet]

What are you talking about 😭

[exotic leaf]

idk thats what i saw on reddit

that some interviewer posted

[dry magnet]

You mean Duke in NC?

😭

[exotic leaf]

yea

[dry magnet]

OH LMAO

[exotic leaf]

idk what the duke in china is

i neve rheard abt it

i assuming its like NYU?

[dry magnet]

I applied to both

[exotic leaf]

gl

[dry magnet]

I got an interview for DKU

[dry magnet]

Yeah like NYU Shanghai

[exotic leaf]

can u transfer to duek main campus

[dry magnet]

I think you can do study abroad at Duke main campus

But idk about transfer

[plain plover]

yeah i think its a northeastern type thing

[lavish hatch]

Abba

[plain plover]

[lavish hatch]

What does it mean if my dot is blue and white

[plain plover]

mine is rainbow so i think they are calling me gay ☹️

[lavish hatch]

wow

[native steppe]

source ?

[modern thunder]

My dot is both blue and white

[exotic leaf]

what i found on reddit

i logged out

but i mssgd the guy a long time ago

its some duke interviewer and some CC

i mean i have no clue if these numbers r true but

20% of ppl getting an interview get accepted doesnt seem that far fetched

i also heard that duke interviews ppl who are r more borderline

[native steppe]

if only u took stats so u would know its not 0.8% 🙏

[exotic leaf]

yea ur right

i did

💀

[native steppe]

either way we all find out in a week

[native steppe]

bayes ref

[exotic leaf]

4% of ppl with an interview were accepted

based on this

same with ppl w/o an interview

[native steppe]

whats teh chance given ur dot was white

[exotic leaf]

infinite

[crystal flower]

blue dot represent ✊

[fleet scroll]

no way people are believing this

[flint pivot]

i have white dot

does this mean i am getting personally escorted to the university through a helicopter?

[maiden apex]

It means they are fining you for the amount of mental damage your application caused to the readers

[flint pivot]

well then they should pay me too for the mental damage it cause me to write their why us essay

[flint pivot]
