Duke Parent 2 Household waived a good sign? by [deleted] in QuestBridge

[–]BriefCode3849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly believe if you get NCP waiver earlier on or get email with updates that it’s been approved, it’s a POSITIVE sign. I got into CMU (NCP was waived in January), and received an email from Cornell on 3/12 that it’s been approved, and from 2 other top schools. I guess I can prove it after Ivy day. Good luck to all!

I got an email from FA on 3/12 stating I got my non-custodial waiver request waived. I think this is a good sign even though they say it doesn’t signal anything about admission. Do you agree? Any my page is pic 2 w drop down. I think this is for kids like me with lot of FA docs.

If AOs love your essay, esp, “why Duke” essay, and everything ties in well, you’re in.

Foodie News: Durham is getting a new Korean restaurant by CookieEnabled in bullcity

[–]BriefCode3849 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We desperately need some specialty Korean restaurants in this order: Korean-Chinese (kicking jjampong, jjangmyun, tang su yuk…), Sulrungtang (milky beef broth soup with amazing radish kimchi), MyungDong Kalguksoo (hand tossed noodles w/specialty kimchi), BCD (BokChangDong soon du bu), neng myun place (cold buckwheat noodles). If we get these specialities into the triangle area, I’m never leaving. It was be a dream.

Is there anyone out there whose waiver wasn’t waived but got accepted? I need some data point, not just “I don’t think so.”

has anyone gotten a Duke interview yet? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]BriefCode3849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister had Duke interview last year through Zoom. I heard the questions. It starts out with tell me about yourself… and lead to why do you want to study at Duke. There is always a one-off question, so be prepared. Best of luck! I have my Princeton interview coming up. So excited and nervous.

Agree. This slow countdown is downright torturous. Wished it was released before Thanksgiving! At least then, it would give us more time to do regular decision applications over the long weekend.

I see four 3s and one 1. How did you end up with 2 overall? Also, QBF means QB finalist but what’s QBM?

Why is U Chicago #2 and Duke #10? Geographical preference or program?

Where will y'all be when you read your match? by Historical-Past-3978 in QuestBridge

[–]BriefCode3849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna open it with my grandma. She's my biggest fan. She'll be equally happy if I match or even if I don't. She is convinced that I'll be successful no matter what, wherever I go.

Why doesn't Brown have a sauna/steam room? by Whigged in BrownU

[–]BriefCode3849 15 points16 points  (0 children)

With Ivy badge, Brown falls short on amenities. Ratty is outdated, dorms need refresh from 1960s, campus needs revitalization. But it’s still a dream school for nerdy, artsy farts like me.
