What do the dots mean and where do I find them?
Nothing ppl thought they did but they dont
Oh alr
so excited for white dot university
Me!!
Oh my gosh
I think that’s a likely letter!!!
what did you guys apply for?
Shogunyan
I applied for trinity
I applied vis arts in trinity
Omg it’s called trinity because there’s three
Maybe review for scholarships 🥹
hope so
anyone going through a very Chinese time in their life (applied to DKU)
omg ur dku is tonight
yes #rejection
me
do you know what time they will release results?
9 pm est
like 22 pm estern time?
oh
Bruh during the interview I forgot what I was saying
And I started to say random stuff
And I had to correct what I saying so I wouldn’t embarrass myself by making no sense
😭
so like in 23 minutes?
ohh ok
It doesn’t mean rejection
it looks like we're basically the only people who applied 😭
I applied to dku
lol
how am i on the rankings
what's my rank
I swear I applied by mistake 🤦🏿
then it is an acceptance for both of us 😎 🥂
hi fellow dku applicant
we will get in
I mean its on the duke common app
that's prob true
Yeh that’s true
I mean I just discovered dku because of duke's common app
I also discovered dku on the duke common app
my interviewer is based in nc 💀
so basically we all discovered dku there
did you received an invitation for this interview or it was on their portal to ask for one?
i got an invitation
invitation via email
lol
I promise this is the first time I’m logging into the portal so I’ll just open the rejection and move on
I forgot I applied
lol
i sense an acceptance from you young padawan
did you submit the video clip as well
it seems everyone got the interview but me
nah a lot of people didn't
Nah I didn’t
how was fnaf 2 yall
I didn't also
they only had about 250 interview slots for like 6000 rd applicants
neither for duke 💀
duke interview doesn't matter low key
who said so
acceptance rate about the same
for interview and non interview
t-minus two minutes
is it bad luck that everytime i get a decision i need to pee
likely just nerves
I gotta pee too so Ionk
no shiz sherlock
should i go to the toilet before or after
should I submit a loci?
i already know my decision: waitlist
you should send them coffee
Mines says decided
i dont see that
I GOT IN
OH MY GOD I GOT IN
Omg congratulations
ME TOO
Wont ping cause I dont know how many DKU people applied, but polls up for DKU RD!
No status update 🤦🏿 😭😭

Yeooooo
😿
😭😭😭

SHIT
I mean
I LEFT MY FULL NAME THERE

:SKULL:
Nah I’m not even getting my hopes up

hey man, can you not go to DKU for oppening space for me on the waitlist?
lol
jk
sorry

Congrats!
YOO, as an international with aid I am impressed, I got waitlisted after idk 9 rejections? Guys do you have any clue what are the waitlist percentages?
CONGRATSSS

OH MY GOD??
DUKE HAS OUR BABI 🥹 🥹
health insurancew
Could someone pls tell me how in the world I could bring the cost down ?
if you get hit in may..... ur fcked!
WDU (duke) in 6 days!!! wooo
Got accepted into CS and apparently campus job only gives approximately 2,500 USD a year.
try appealing, its always worth a shot imo
Yeah I'll try.
Also is it possible to get summer internships there ?
I've heard that the top US schools offer this but idk about DKU...
wow man
Absolute cashcow
was that need based or merit based
CONGRATSS
idk honestly
Is dku tuff
why is it called duke white dots
white dot on banner that's blue
so funny story
duke’s portal has a singular period u can copy in its banner
thats left over from the design of the website
and people on reddit found it and have been going insane
because half of people see a white dot and the other a blue dot
and its only because of the os (apple vs windows etc) that causes it
😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
ts only could happen on a2c
LMFAOOO
Rejected
Does Duke ever admit low stats kids
If they have a blue dot then yes
blue mean they got in?
😭😭😭
Purple dot is for athletes
waitlisted DKU
Secret gray color prob does
did you apply to white dot?
yea
good luck!
Any deferred people here 😢
how are you even deferred now?
im asking if anyone who was deferred ed is waiting for rd rn
How high was your CSS profile if I could ask?
380,000 Moroccan Dirhams which is probably equivalent to 41,000 USD
So yeah
definitely my fault here
I did it mostly for the US colleges. I couldn't change the value for each college
That's your contribution which you inputed or what css calculated? Becouse if you intentionally put that I think it might be hard for them to make higher aid /:
Intentionally...
So yeah
I can only blame myself.
Now I gotta work my ass off and find a way to afford the school or lower the price tag
I hope you will succeed
whens duke releasing
At this point, I’m just opening rejections
Fr
But duke is still my top choice
I was lowk fine getting rejected from ivies, but I’m gonna lose myself if I don’t get Duke
I’ve been hyping up this place way too long
Waiting on duke!
waiting on my rejection letter
Friend said I seem like a duke person
💔
good luck man
My only hope
gl blue dots and white dots
Thanks 🙏🏾 js praying
not tryna be miss portal astrology here but was there actually a reason for this
whats the reason
people were getting diff colors on mac vs windows so
likely just placeholder for when they say decisions are available on the day
eyy
Duke University (2025-2026)
Does anyone else have under review on their slate for Duke?
Some people are saying that it means u went to final round but with decisions in like 4 days why am I still under review lol
while everyone else is complete
I do
but uh,,, I was thinking that meant a rejection 💔
Have there been any intl students asking for aid that have gotten in without an idoc? Had an interview early March but wasn’t asked for tax returns or anything
One thing I can infer from this is each school has their own classification
decided complete awaiting all can mean numerous things
but under review seems like we might’ve made it into later rounds
or like atleast someone in the committee is fighting for us lol idk
I’m hoping
cause I see much more decided complete etc then I do under review
That's ok guys
If you got rejected from all Ivies - there's always a slim chance for yall. Mb it's not that big, but only 31st of March will show it. College admissions are just a lottery, where you need a good ticket
I think everyone here is qualified enough for all of this, it just breaks down to luck
my status in slate changed
to Application Decided: Decision Pending/Released
omg duke pls come in clutch
yeah
im rd applicant so it was under review and changed to Application Decided: Decision Pending/Released like today
1520 sat, ib 44 pred
intl ecs
awards
all physics phys major intended
no luck from ivies
so hoping duke goes well
wbu? @mossy pier
IB 44 predicted sat optional no awards 7 figure start up, successful food joint first dish kind in my country, orthodontic mouthguard with patent filing, managed and grew a political account to 650,000 followers
I think under review is iffy people
but better chances imo then rejects
Why would they take so long to just reject us
I got into CMU and UNC OOS so it’s definitely not impossible
im also ib 44 pred, sat optional 2 intl academic awards 1 intl sport award, 1 research paper, raised 25k for sports training and equipment for underprivileged department of our school as sports captain of my school, marketing head for a tech symposium with 1500+ participants, intership at indias 2nd ranked telecom company. am i cooked?
where to check?
forgot ts counted as astro nvm
if youre comfortable sharing, could you dm me then?
discord restricted my dms lmfao
so i cant even if I wanted to for a week
😭
what was this bruh
the wind
mine is still under review
Mine changed to decisions releasing something
I got absolutely destroyed by college apps
When is duke coming out
next tuesday
Where r u seeing this
Wat mean
i think this is a good sign
If it changed several days ago it's a good sign
I don't know, someone made a comparison for when your Slate status changes, and cracked people changed first
wait my gtech one says decision released
idk if that’s good I mean I got deferred ea
Mines is still Application Complete & Under Review
Rip for me 😭
oh no 😭😭😭😭
Same @bleak oasis
any waitlist?
Only JHU, washu, rice, and Vanderbilt
Ivies full wipe
Stanford and Duke my last hope
where do yall check this
how did you see ur status
Please think logically rather then using causation = correlation
I made a good post explaining my thoughts on it
slate CAN never accurately depict a accept reject or waitlist this isn’t Astro in any means,
But with info that your decision is still being made thinking logically you can assume auto admits and auto rejects are gone, this is so late in the cycle and so close to the deadline they’re most likely building class body and seeing what borderline admits fit into accepts and what fit into waitlists. and that’s pretty valuable info to know
clock it
100% true
Haha hopefully
I hope there’s very few entrepreneurs applying to Duke
I genuinely think that’s the only reason I could get in
I heard Duke likes unique ppl much more then t10s like I got rejected from Wharton but the ratio of entrepreneurs in the cycle compared to Duke trinity is definitely a lot more
Let’s see
this is my last school LOL
I have BU and Duke
Thats what I have
Heyy
we got this!!!
Gl gl
Which major did you guys put
I don't remember, but either Economics or Business
I did English/Theater Studies
Ooo, I see some future Shakespeare
Biology
Apparently
Please duke 🤞🏽
Good luck!
I wish their decisions weren’t so late
All in all I’m just glad I was able to get this out of the way
"in case you forgot" ahh date
where do you think you will go?
and if not america then where?
I don't know yet. I csn only decide once and for all after Duke
I'm not sure. I need to talk to my parents abt it
you can do this
We will see. Anyway, mb not a t20 this time. We also have Duke, but 0.9% is not a big chance lol
what time does duke come out
it comes out at 7 PM ET
(Tuesday)
Last decision
I'm gonna miss opening decision letters
Real
grad school, job applications
im prolly rejected bruh
fym last hope mf got into ucla and berk 😭
real asf
💀
ok ye u right
im lwk gonna go berk anyway

I've been rejected at every other top college I applied to. I find duke to be no different
Like Im not even gonna be bothered to open this thing man
someone in ts server js got rejected from every good uni, with accepted ut dallas but they clutched out a stanford accept yesterday so its possible
when i was 5 (2015-2016) there was this guy on xbox live with the name zazoo or smth like that iirc, and im pretty sure the same pfp as your discord pfp was that you?
that was not me :(((
my pfp in xbox is that fuzzy white thing
and username isnt zazxax
my xbox 360 username from like 10 years ago was zazxax tho
and this was hte same pfp
let me see if i can find the acc im thinking ab cause i think i messaged it then lol
bet
this 1
for those whose slate turned early on...did u guys have interviews??
omg I have been rejected by every good uni with accepted to UTD (im international so im not getting in tho)
utd acceptance as intl is still very good but yea this guy is domestic
Nah its ok, we making UTD to princeton trust
i haven't touched xbox live since 2022 but mainly just minecraft when i did lol
idk i didnt check slate
but i had an interview in feb…..?
mine is on the like
decision thing
I had the same
i got into penn with a 500 ebrw sat
but i am esl so
u are him omg
somewhere around 500
u da best abba
yeah your sat matters to an extent
you can get somewhere good even w/ a low sat
some people are just not good at test taking
decision pending.....
if i get into duke thatd be crazy
i was interviewed by yale/princeton n got rejected lol
yale does
yeah
its a sub 3 percent acc rate school
how is the duke no interivew -> acceptance rate tho
apparently theyre not as harsh as yale
SIX SEVEN
alr well i better get in bcs aside from UW CS ive only gotten waitlisted from 3 ivies and cmu
4/4 for the ACC would be nice
yeah i wanted to just say 6-7
anyways like guys everything will work out i promise
i was rejected by 12 schools or something before i finally got into upenn w/ a full ride
and i submitted my poopy sat score to them
500+ ebrw goes harddd
domestic
wait whats ebrw
english
sat?

well almost hitting 2 plates good depth soph year
being 125
aint bad
imo tho
This reminds me of the collegeresults posts where they include like "petite Asian boi"
like okay!!!
Good to know dude
☠️
petite asian boy gets rejected from more than half of the colleges he applied to
im honestly not sure how i got rejected from neu/bc/tufts bc i thought that id be waitlisted
i also attended thrive scholars
n they're partnered with bc n tufts
at least bc
and the freaking dean told me that he favors students who attend that program so i thought that id at least be wait listed
given that i was 1/20 outta 1k to be selected to conduct cancer research w/ the 5th largest cancer ins. + like the 3rd best hosp in the world
oh well im not entitled to a wl/acceptance to these schools but to me i was a bit surprised
progress is progress therefore you should be happy
u got rlly good ecs u got a good chance
im a lazy bum now
oh i got into upenn
but i was rejected from

keshi yung kai blxst starfall badabadooba or however uspell her name
I’ll listen the song Everytime We Touch to manifest a Duke acceptance but I already know they’re gonna slime me out in 3 days
how to get verified?
Portal says tuesday
Because it’s March 31st
@chrome halo my mom said students have to do military drills in china 😭😭 why tf would this happen to me at dku
I mean 50+k applicants
i believe this is only for mainland Chinese students
youd be considered intl and exempt
right
😭
it makes no sense if I had to do that
gotchu
Is it one of your top choices...?
was my second
but i got into upenn so
im probably going to attend penn
12 rejections 4 acceptances and 3 waitlists, 1 waiting
if i somehow get into duke, ill tour both penn & duke
I hope they’ll accept me
Wharton? CAS?
CAS
If they reject me I’m probably going to commit to DKU or a CUNY 😭
Penn
Me too
I can't wait any longer
Like what the fuck
I give up 😭🙏
U should see mines
Tell me abt it
Thank you bro
i opened up like 13 decisions, 10 of which were rejections
3 wls
before i opened up penn
yeah
I think students can do one semester at Durham
Yeah
whether u say duke kunshan or duke who cares
It was just a thought LOL
Because a lot of people started putting their schools into their bios
yeah
i didnt even let my decision marinate 😭
instantly put "@uofpenn '30?"
i havent committed to penn yet ^
if on insta you are putting @dukeuni '30 maybe it isnt the most accurate right now
but i mean u still receieve a degree from duke soo idk
but you should still be happy about dku since its pretty selective
yup! I’m pretty happy
my mom is going to leave me in China
Because I’m going on vacation
And move in is literally during my vacation
😭😭
It’s going to take me a day just to go from one province to another
0.9% shot
Lol
i am rooting for you
as well as everyone else in this chat
I’m praying I get Duke I get free tuition if I get in
yea same
but I wouldn’t be able to pay without the tuition grant
it’s for ppl under 150k
i promise you guys
everything will work out
i got into upenn with a 500 english sat
I need this acceptance
I can't fold it rn
I gen want to believe you gng
It's just my 19 rejections
i received 12 rejections before my most recent one
i promise itll be ok
oh youre int
Yes😭
my 480 MATH LMAO
(I did not submit that)
Then nearly a 700 English
I’m genuinely just bad at math
i only submitted my SAT to upenn, jhu and i think one other school
"Oh"
Is killing me😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ig it is harder brotato😭🙏
Thanks gng
I really really want that clutch to happen
Like omg
ya itll happen
if u dont get into duke its ok bc who wants to pay 100k
for a school that keeps almost getting out of march madness…
Gang
I don't want to call someone out or anything
But you have ALL IVIES😭🙏
all bad at basketball 🥀
I feel like Cody from that video abt Mario tennis
A t20 hasn't won March madness since 2015
his country is actively in war 💔
And the last t20 that wasn't Duke was UCLA in 1995
what happened to f&m
I mean F&M is def an option, it's just that Duke would be a legendary pull🥀
Also F&M has some questionable stuff going on
I mean they gave me like 68k or smth
whats the coa
26.5k or sum
International apply to need aware competitive college 😭😭
It’s not happening
Actually I couldn't find a single one I could qualify for
"Oh"
😭😭😭😭
This
No
Asari is correct, it’s only for mainland students. We can go back to our country for vacation or travel a week before the Chinese students can 😂😂
Fair
Bruh my parents keep mentioning how they had to do that when they were kids in school 😭😭
LOLLL
like u have full government names and parent names and professions and jobs and ur school
I’m going to be in China for three weeks before classes start
it would be a doxx party
actually, the military training for the Chinese students is comparably so much easier than the Chinese Chinese colleges
🤘 Frat Flick
They lit just sat around for half the day in our gym on their phones.
btw are you Chinese lmao
I’m assuming so because of your name
😭
I’m ABC
That’s crazy
Niceeeeee
Which province is your family from
fujian
There’s quite a few ABCs on campus but only 4-5 of us are actually proficient in Chinese
My Chinese is okay I think
I just forgot how to read and write
Because my mom took me out of classes when I was in fifth grade 💀
It is
I’m from Guangdong

If u want, I can add u and answer any more questions later in dms or u can put them in the other server
I’m working soon 🤮
W*rking 🥀🥀
Alright
Speaking of DKU, are DKU and Duke acceptances correlated? I got an interview at DKU and was accepted but didnt get an interview for Duke
I know they're separate programs with unrelated AOs but do you think that's a good sign?
two different things
Abba did u apply to duke
yes! if i get in i will def be giving up my spot
so hopefully any waitlisted people can have it
Ngl im pretty happy with my results so far
u didnt get rejected at any ivies right? just waitlists
Ive been on reddit and ppl with way better stuff than me had diff outcomes
No i did
I got rejected from everywhere else but pton and upenn
ohhh
The only other one I cared abt was yale
i hope u either get off the waitlist or barnard lowers their aid!
I knew id get rejected from the tohers
yale rejected me too its ok
who needs yale
TWINS
Lol
two separate applications, no real correlation afaik
I need more aid 🥀
hey guys I need help and idk if I should be worried
on my app it says my Parent Federal Tax Return was waived
should I call them?
no
u dont need to call
oh
typically it happens when duke doesnt need information from it
ur fafsa/css were enough
thank u!! i hope u get duke
Thank you I hope so!
What’s the chance I get in without an interview
A lot of ppl get in without one
I mean did you say he was still a student ?
Son 😭😭
💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔
Pack it up😭✌️
Coulda least said I wanna be like Jared or something
Yo... This is bad
Test Optional?
penn isnt test optional
ohh ight
is duke the latest of all college decisions?
and the ugliest of all college mascots?
i thought this was your overall sat score and i was lost
I did a Duke rejection simulator
whats that
There’s a website where you can simulate receiving a rejection letter, you go through the step on website and get the rejection letter
😭😭
NAHH
Man you could’ve just opened mine instead
We ARE getting accepted
Eh who knows
Oh hell nah 500 alone is wild
e
yo is it bad if i submitted after priority deadline and didnt get an interview
There's a priority deadline?
the priority deadline isn’t a thing anymore
duke only gives out interviews if they “need more information on applicant”
which is what yale says
fancy way of saying duke pre screens ur app to determine if additional information would be helpful
this is in their 25-26 admissions doctrine
take that with a grain of salt if u will
i submitted 20 minutes before the deadline and got an interview meanwhile i know kids who submitted weeks before who didn’t get it 💔
if u go onto their website it says this
Do you have worse odds if you submitted after the priority deadline?
there isn’t one
What is this Dec.20 thing
It lowk makes sense
my interviewer told me that if ur given an interview then u are making it through the process and told me congrats. take that as u will with that information i just gave in the screenshot
Why nobody at my school got an interview then
same bro
we get 3 duke RDs every year
don’t worry
tons of people are admitted to duke without interviews
it’s all availability based on
like a ton of things
read the bold words in that screenshot i sent
at the end
unlike yale this may not affect ur chances
there is a very good chance duke sees ur file, needs no new or additional info, and passes u on
I got deferred ed with no interview, everyone that got one was rejected in my area
So im coping hard rn
it lowk seems helal random
cuz yale getting an interview is correlated w an acceptance
duke ig its js genuinely to pull more info
dont read into it much than
Did you ask about it?
dang I didnt meet priproty
gg
Samesies
cuz ur cracked gng
😭
omg no i’m not cracked i swear
no u are not cooked
we get 3 Duke admits each year from my skl (feeder)
no one has gotten interview so far
and freind at duke confirmed he didnt get an interview (accepted RD)
harvard lol
i guess 😭
Just a small school in Cambridge
Btw only blue dots get interviews
when is this bum ahh school coming out
everyone knows u need to subtract ai predictions by 5 percent
Oh
2%...
just roll a dice at that point
Shit
yall idk if my region has an interviewer no one in my school got one like 10 kids but the kid who got in last year did
yup they are NOT accepting my ahh
lowkey claude got everything right so far 😭
Kinda
Yo do u wanna try out my prompt
Or is this too degen
nahh

wait wym
I’m done with my cycle let me try
what’s the prompt
i just gave it stats/ecs and such and asked to predict
it said unc, ncsu, gt admit
cmu, mit, jhu waitlist/reject
pending duke but it said like 35-40%
i wouldnt give it too much weight though
yea I'm not
in 48 hours we'll all know anyway
Ai said I had a 45% chance at princeton
I ended up getting rejected by like 13 schools
Including princeton
it’s inaccurate
Gotta use the right prompt
calling ai a he :Sully:
ToT
You used the wrong prompt you have to be smart about it
I autistically learned how to make it good it predicted 6-7 accepts out of 14 schools
I ended up getting 6 accepts 1 WL
doooo
soooooo
buttt it’s not very accurate on what schools u will get into that’s really a toss up, acceptence rates can be useful indicators though statistically the personalized acceptences rates it gave for my profile were within ≈3% accuracy
what prompt
Send me the prompt I’m curious
Wait they lost?
This is a bad omen for us
😭
My dad said they would
LMAO
Cayden boozer will be punished
now Duke lost, I won't feel as bad when they slime me out in 2 days
UCLA slimed the heck out of Duke in women's basketball
bro please duke save me from going to expensive schools with no campuses
😭
0 hope since wl from kunshan but maybe
praying
gemini said I would get into like every school 😂
lol
idk what gemnis on
😭
No one can be that cracked
congrats on USC UVA EMORY AND GT!
And Rice!
9/9 UCs is fucking insane 😭
CONGRATS
TYYY man
Gemini is an omega glazer
I thought you said you couldn’t apply because of passport issues
oh idk, gemini grouped them together for some reason initially
i asked it like 2 months ago
