<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>but i am totally worried.
hope everything goes well for everybody else.</p>

<p>I’m sorry if this comes off as snooty, but I don’t really see your reasoning in wanting people to post their stats once more. I mean, most people already shared those if they wanted to early when they wanted others to “chance them.” Why does it matter about our ACT scores if we already are accepted? I feel that after the ED decisions come out, they should be the end of the statistics. If you get in, just be happy. If you want, just write that you got in. I personally don’t understand for bringing up GPA and basically your college resume once again.</p>

<p>ashleypatricia, your analysis doesn’t come off as “snooty,” just a little bit ignorant. The purpose of this thread and the many like it on CC’s other college-specific forums is not to provide an outlet for oneupsmanship or bragging or moping. Rather, threads such as these are meant to help members of future classes (in this case, 2015 and onward) get a gauge on what it took in years past to get in without having to wade through the pages and pages of “Chance Me” threads–which don’t even tell whether the OP was admitted, rejected, or deferred–that you mentioned.</p>

<p>Again, the posting of decisions and stats is not for me; it’s for younger CCers who are looking for a truly objective evaluation of their chances. And if you weren’t already aware, NO ONE CAN FORCE YOU TO POST IF YOU DON’T WANT TO!</p>

<p>These threads are extremely helpful, all I did Junior year was analyze results threads and try to match stats. Whoever wants to post their decision will, good luck to everyone! I will definitely help out by posting my stats even If I get rejected!</p>

<h1>19/525</h1>

<p>2320/2400
800/800/780/760/760 subject tests</p>

<p>few other stuff</p>

<p>don’t feel like putting the rest</p>

<p>neonseri…that was wrong for duke to reject u…2400–it really doesnt get any better!</p>

<p>and it was also wrong for duke to reject me</p>

<p>i hate that school now…unfortunately…i have family that goes there…and ill have to go there at the beginning of every fall to drop that person off…and at the end of the yr to pick him up…and not to mention him wearing all those blue sweatshirts as if they own the work…and unfortunately for me i cant just forget duke and move on…cause ill always have to visit it and all ill be able to think of is im not good enough for that school…and all those students that are my age are better than me…and…its just a sad feeling…</p>

<p>someone tell me something to make me feel better? please? </p>

<p>reality is starting to hit me…and i guess i should start on my other college applications.</p>

<p>deferred.</p>

<p>ugh.</p>

<p>i mean, i got rejected. not even deferred. i guess getting a super high SAT scores doesnt really matter that much anymore… hmmm. i guess i will be applying to stanford :/</p>

<p>I was accepted, and will post stats later, but I just made a group called “Duke Class of 2014!!!” on facebook!!! Please Join if accepted!!!</p>
