<p>it was 471 according to the letter i received from them, i wonder why they posted wrong numbers?</p>

3

<p>because the six less are people that got out of their early admission obligation. It happens with a few people every year.</p>

4

<p>oh… mmm why do we keep visiting this site chuckleybob?</p>

5

<p>the same reason i do… IT’S ADDICTING</p>

6

<p>i don’t know… my CC interest is practically dead.</p>

7

<p>ohhhhh, it will come back when RD decisions are out, or at the very least in the summer when you find out which dorm you’re in and you want to know all about it, or when you’re trying to figure something out with your schedule. you’ll have questions about Duke… and NO WHERE ELSE TO TURN…</p>

<p>(escape CC while you still can…</p>

<p>… don’t become like me…)</p>

8

<p>Can we pick dormmates?</p>

9

<p>You can make roommate requests (they must be mutual). You can not request to be in someone else’s dorm though (nor can you request dorms). After freshman year, you can “block” with your friends in the west campus dorms (it was 8 friends but I think they’re raising it to 16) but that’s another story.</p>

10

<p>me + sylvia= ultimate roommates.</p>

11

<p>that was informative…</p>

12

<p>i try, ay_caramba :)</p>

<p>someone mentioned roommates, so i thought i’d be a loser and mention that.</p>

<p>i hope you’re not right about the addictiveness coming back later on this year. that would suck.</p>

13

<p>AS A DUKE STUDENT YOU ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO THINK ABOUT BEING A LOSER. </p>

<p>That’s a command.</p>

14

<p>Pssh. Okay, I’ll put in on hold for the next 4 years.</p>

<p>:)</p>

15

<p>YES, ULTIMATE ROOMIES with a DB shrine for megan!!!
we are such losers, in the end it becomes cool ;)</p>

16

<p>(ahem)</p>

<p>so, how big of a shrine are we talking? like, the entire room (wink wink-- works for me), or just my side? </p>

<p>the bigger the better. </p>

<p>(drools)</p>

17

<p>ok maybe just your side… the whole room might be a little overboard
we gotta make room for redick too!</p>

18

<p>never mind, I guess you two really ARE losers. I think I’ll make a trip down to the admissions office first thing Tuesday and tell them to un-accept both of you. I’ll match your ECs and stats from this board. It will be easy. </p>

<p>And fun.</p>

<p>MWAHAHAHAHAHA</p>

19

<p>“MWAHAHAHAHAHA”</p>

<p>whoa now, whoa now.</p>

<p>i can see it now:</p>

<p>ay<em>caramba: hey buddy, you need to toss out these applications. stat.
adcom: why is that?
ay</em>caramba: because they’re losers who go on CC. i do too, but i’m not a loser (not YET at least). here, let me give you their stats! (points to blazingly high numbers <ha, just=“” kidding=“”> and stunning EC’s)
adcom: dude, what kind of stalker are you? go home.</ha,></p>

<p>fin.</p>

<p>You saw all that? You need new glasses sistah! This is what’s going to happen:</p>

<p>Me: Hello sir, may I have a moment of your time?
Christoph Guttentag: Why certainly, young man. Have a seat.
Me: Mr. Guttentag, I must report some bad news. Two of your recent admits are complete and utter losers that will reflect badly on our institution.
CG: WHAT THE F***! GIVE ME THEIR NAMES RIGHT NOW! No blazingly high numbers or stunning ECs can overcome such an outrageously horrid quality!
Me: Well, we’re in luck, because they’ve posted all the information we need to identify them on the internet board that I patrol looking for loser admits.
CG: Good work! You’ve saved Duke once again!</p>

<p>MWAHAHAHAHA</p>
