<p>my friend was an AB duke scholar semifinalist (already accepted) and she has 1:16 too</p>
<p>It could just mean that they knew they were already going to admit the likely letter people so they were added to the system.</p>
<p>I hate to burst everyones bubbles but I scored a 1960 (I know, I know, not so great), did not receive a likely letter and have 1:16 :-/</p>
<p>i was just reading the ed thread and someone with a 1960 got in and someone with a 2400 was rejected. JGA, don’t give up.</p>
<p>JGA, are you a minority or legacy by any chance?</p>
<p>Correlation does not imply causation.</p>
<p>JGA, please post more stats!</p>
<p>2340/Val/decent ECs here…I was a 1:16er. Though, I doubt it means much.</p>
<p>Btw…I found (after some post stalking) that JGA is hispanic and was admitted to Northwestern already. So, its entirely reasonable that she got into Duke too.</p>
<p>Which school did you guys having the 1:16 time apply to? I applied to college of arts and science and have the 1:16 time.</p>
<p>1:16, applied to Trinity…</p>
<p>I was a 1:16. 2190, 34, 4.5 W/4.0 UW, 3/200, decent ec’s. I thought my supplement essays were mediocre. I don’t expect to get in, but we’ll see! I applied to Pratt.</p>
<p>ohhh good alternate theory
I applied to trinity too and i have 1:16</p>
<p>EDIT: nvm the post above me disproved knight’s theory</p>
<p>This seems pretty ridiculous, but I’ll bite.
36 ACT, USAMO, USNCO, and Eagle Scout here @ 1:16.
Also, the time could have a correlation to when the application’s decision was made, and that those people with later times had applications that were decided latest.</p>

<li>1.16</li>
</ol>
<p>^ I doubt that theory. There are only two times: 1:16 and 5:35. It’s very unlikely that they would make one “batch” of decisions, then wait a few hours, and make another “batch” of decisions. For your theory to be true, there would have to be myriad upload times, not just two.</p>
<p>The theory that the upload time somehow correlates to the admission decision is much more probable, seeing as how there are two times–1:16 and 5:35, and two decisions–accept and reject, though both theories are a crapshoot!</p>
<p>35 ACT, 17 AP courses, 3.9 UW, mediocre ECs, no interview 1:16
Accepted to Northwestern, Berkeley</p>
<p>Hmm…it’s been a while since someone with 5:35 posted…</p>
<p>This is all getting ridiculous! I have no idea what to think…</p>
<p>But I have 1:16 and admitted to Vanderbilt and Emory so far</p>
<p>^Stats? 10char</p>
<p>my guess is that it means ABSOLUTELY nothing.</p>
<p>the chances of every one of the 1 16 people on here getting accepted are slim. comparing sat scores doesn’t actually do you anything because duke has a reputation of looking past scores, and on average the two times are pretty close anyways. so much more goes into an application. for example, i got a 2030 on my sat, but i had a fabulous interview and i have great ecs.</p>
<p>just wait one day.</p>
<p>by the way, i’m a 5 35</p>
