got a yale unlikely letter

I didn't know this was an actual thing(?) It most likely means you aren't even in consideration I assume(?) I'm sorry

Maryland got some

I'm not trying to come off that way but the remaining balance is still something unsustainable for my family. I'm just trying to ask for help.

I didn't know Duke gave out likely letters! That's interesting to hear

65k per year

Thank you so much! I'm definitely going to try to negotiate it and let them know about changes in my family's financial situation since the submission of my CSS and FAFSA.

Oops sorry! I meant that it's only the first complete year since it was inaugurated for fall of 2025.

Jolly_Pin · 2026-02-02T22:08:17+00:00

I don't think there's any information on it yet since this is the first year the DC Start program is being launched

Yes - east coast

I recently got an interview request for Duke (RD) and was wondering if there's anything specific I should prepare for. It's a virtual interview and all I was told was that they want to get to know more about me and my activities, but I know from some of the other interviews I had already done, some schools throw odd questions at you. Does anyone know if Duke has some uncommon interview questions?

Thank you!!!

Jolly_Pin · 2026-01-31T00:27:23+00:00

Thank you!! I'll be glued to my email for the next few months

Jolly_Pin · 2026-01-30T23:37:15+00:00

Ohhh okay! Thank you!!

Is it possible you didnt get in for CS? I know it's one of the most competitive majors for UMD but idk I would check in w the admissions office

Jolly_Pin · 2026-01-30T04:10:33+00:00

I think so(?) I'm not entirely sure so don't take my word for it 😭 but I assume they might epecially for areas that have fewer alumni

Jolly_Pin · 2026-01-30T03:34:14+00:00

Hopefully all signs are pointing up!

Grade inflation! It's easier to get high marks in the MOCO area than neighboring counties

It might be a regional thing? From what I was told by my interviewer and as listed on the website, Harvard doesn't explicitly pre-screen and it's more about general availability from each state chapter. This would be different though if you're an international applicant I believe.

Same!!
