haha db123 you shoulda commented it then lol!

and fallacy (and vistany and db),
everyone has been telling me that, and i applied to Duke ED, along with my twin bro and 4 other kids from my school
and my app was so great for Duke, not just in terms of quality but also what Duke looks for (they had two supplemental essays, one of which was to tell them about research experience you’ve had!!)
the other kids from my school who applied were a little weaker in terms of SAT and GPA, yet we all got denied, not even deffered
and my school, a public school in central nj (east brunswick high school), which is pretty reputable but not like an amazing private, did **** for ED this year…
something like 20+ kids applied Ed and almost all got denied
2 or three kids to columbia all denied
6 or 7 kids to penn all denied
4 kids to MIT all denied or deffered
1 kid to brown denied
5 kids to duke denied
1 kid to dartmouth denied (allthough his app was crap)

so it was a slap in the face to lower our standard, and now im nervous i can’t get into any semi competitive schoool (i.e. UVA)

think my science background will help since UVA gets a lot of social science apps?
