<p>No legacy, no URM, no perfect SAT’s…well I am hoping for a miracle. :stuck_out_tongue:
Good luck to everyone tomorrow!</p>

<p>While we wait, would anyone like to share their info? UW GPA, ACT, SAT, SATII, essays, recs, interviews, what makes you unique, etc</p>

<p>4.0 GPA, 2250 SAT I (800 M, 700 CR, 750 W), 800 790 780 750 SAT II, decent essays, good recs, no interview, 600+ hours of volunteering in various medical things, worked over the summer as an assistant EMT, Indian male $250,000+, no hooks, live in the middle of nowhere so could not get an interview</p>

<p>You look like a great applicant, Shaq!</p>

<p>Haha thank you. I hope that I get in so badly, but I have no great hooks or anything. I’m not valedictorian or salutatorian or participated in anything on the national level (live in the middle of nowhere) but I’m hoping.</p>

<p>where do you live shaq?</p>

<p>Check my location on the left ;)</p>

<p>Go post here: I’d be interested to see all of your music tastes…</p>

<p>@Shaq
Indian as in Native American or Southern Asian Indian?</p>

<p>ah… my stats…
SAT I: 2320 (CR 750 M 790 W 780)
SAT II: Math II (790) Chemistry (800) US History (770)
And that’s all I feel like typing out. :D</p>

<p>ugggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i was totally fine with myself if i got rejected to Duke ED
but i just looked at CC for a while
and now im freaking nervous.</p>

<p>QQ.
rejection fer daiz~~</p>

<p>I was quite prepared for rejection until I read 20 threads on CC and analyzed my whole common app again…</p>

<p>Now I can’t sleep.</p>

<p>So many Early Decision applicants.
damn…</p>

<p>i was OK with my chances.
then i reviewed my common app
and now im definetely not OK with them :/</p>

<p>I bet you didn’t find a misspelling in one of your essays…</p>

<p>I honestly can’t believe I spelled something wrong on my application to DUKE.</p>

<p>funny crap dude
thats exactly what i found
foundation → founcation…</p>

<p>my penalty for running on Word 2000… spell check is outdated to hell</p>

<p>if we both get in
we would be hilarious roommates</p>

<p>My WHY DUKE essay was um…two paragraphs, not too long. Meh. </p>

<p>With my slightly sub-2000 SAT Score, I guess that’s like an instant RED FLAG, so I guess I am already rejected. I know my SAT Score is not the only factor in admissions, but…sigh.</p>

<p>Too late for regrets, haha.</p>

<p>sleepdeficit, do you live on the island or the peninsula? Kowloon is my favorite place to just hang out and people-watch. </p>

<p>My daughter hasn’t been stressing out (outwardly) too much about the decision. Last night at dinner, she glanced at the clock and quietly announced “25 hours”. Then she baked Christmas cookies.</p>

<p>Best of luck to all of you here.</p>
