this is such a great video, loved it

at which period of a year do u think is called as early decision for spring intake?

Doesn't early decision for Duke increases chances to 20% ?

Good evening! I just watched your video since last year. You did a great job with your video. Congratulations on your achievements. Including with your extracurriculars. I will be completing with my AA degree from a community college this year in December. After I complete with my AA degree in general studies, I will be taking my semester off from university to do acting and music studio for receiving training that relates to television. Then, I will be back to university for my BA degree in journalism or communication in the fall of 2023. I graduated from high school in 6 years ago. I am a military child, so I traveled all over the states because I have a parent who is military. Television has always been my dream career at a younger age. I am working on my own book for right now. I have worked on it for 2 years during the pandemic. Everyone has their own pace. I have been a part time student from a community college for 6.5 years of working for my AA degree. Again, I really enjoyed your video because you have great contents. Best of luck at everything you do. My name is Andres by the way. It is pleasure to meet you. I am bilingual. I am Hispanic because my family are from Colombia and Puerto Rico. I was born in the western of New York. I lived there for 5.5 years. If you want to know which states that I lived in before, my book will be ready to finish sometime next year. God bless you and your family. 🙏

Carey is on the Wizards right now!

dude this was great

Genius!

omg I really should have watched this earlier. I didn't apply nor prioritize any of my dream schools because my counselor repeatedly told me I wouldn't get in and there was no use in applying. I shouldn't have listened but now here I am, scrambling to simply apply wherever is left, and wasting a thousand dollars after hearing about everyone who had same stats as me get into their dream schools ED or EA.

Are you Hispanic ? May be that helps with less than perfect store! Be an asian we get kicked lot more harder. This video was very helpful and thanks for sharing the message

Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know how mine goes

Means a lot . College confidential really just tricked me into thinking I had no chances

video with a very original point of view and very different from the rest of the video. Lots to learn from Dan in just few minutes of his talking. great job.

okay this is SUPERIOR! i love this so much! finally not a baking/puzzles/how i love questioning essay!!!

Hey are you an international student? And do you have financial aid/scholarship?

I love that the President is helping move in! Duke seems to by far have the best community of all the top tier schools 😊

Duke is my dream school, nothing else

I love you

I’m in 7th grade, but Duke is my dream school so if anyone could tell me what I could do to improve my chances of getting in: Good things about me: -A+ student (lowest grade right now is 95) -1 preAP class, one math class one year ahead (testing into geometry next year instead of algebra) -I play sports -I started community service -I take Spanish class (taking it throughout high school and doing AP once it’s possible) -I’m a good test taker -I’m doing 2.00 credits worth of classes my 8th grade year Negative things: -I tend to compare myself to others -sometimes I procrastinate I know I have a while, but am I on the right track? I feel like everyone’s smarter than me

A) so your essay was essentially a nice way of saying you are a Trump supporter (a man who HAS been openly racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and xenophobic among other things). Maybe conservatives are labeled that way because they follow a man that condones such disgusting treatment of humans. B) Biden won :)

here in 2021 and yes vernon got drafted by the hornets!

This is wholesome!

i dont take that much aps do i have a good chance of getting into duke🥺

Man please make a video for an international student 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 I'm from India please help me 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Dude you are on this video lying to people. On your Linkedin page you clearing say you were the Valedictorian of your high school with a 4.7 GPA. So why are you lying to people? What's the purpose?

omy just as I was about to give up applying to Duke, this channel pop-up out of nowhere! I guess this is it! thank you so much for this video, its really a reassurance that I have a chance at Duke

I wanna go to duke sooo bad 👁💧👄💧👁

Should we submit a resume too?

bro i just subbed. upload more vids. My dream school is Duke university like literally over all schools even yale and harvard. I need to get into this school

Hi Dan. I plan to apply ED to Duke but am really struggling as I don't have the highest stats. I would love to discuss how to address this or compensate when it comes to the CommonApp.

3000 students? 3000?

We will miss the excitement of Move in Day this year! Do you know if 306 B in Wilson is a double room?

Hey Dan! You mentioned in one of your videos a blog, "The Brown Republican" if I recall correctly, are you able to share more about that in another video?

I'm a rising senior and Duke is one of my top schools! I love how you communicated your personality via your essay rather than a resume flex.

Class of 2024 watching this like 👁👄👁

Duke is my absolute dream school. I’m EDing but I hope I can afford it.

This was really helpful

This video was amazing! Can you describe how you were able to get a congressional internship?

Thanks for the great work:)

You were my tour guide on ED blue devil day this year :) everyone recognized you from your videos, absolute legend. See you there 💙😈

ive been surfing all of youtube for the past month trying to find useful information about my dream school (duke), and after a lot of watching people with perfect scores and perfect gpas i thought 'well, guess i'm not going to duke.' but this has been exactly what i was looking for, someone honest, THANK YOU!!

I'm deciding now whether to take up Duke's acceptance, would you still recommend it?

Great video I’m duke 24 looking at Econ+Finance

Most people want to get into Stanford I want to get into Duke

This is great!!

Did you have to request your letters of recommendation from your High School teachers yourself?

Thank you so much. Every other "how I got into ______" video says how they got a 1550+ on the SAT and a 4.5 gpa. It was really reassuring to hear that it's still possible to be accepted without having insane grades!

What artist made that poster?

It's funny because JFK's "Why Harvard" essay was the most general shit ever.

Why is it lonely here anyways great video mate!

You are an excellent writer! For that reason, I would caution that not all people should "write how they talk" in a Common App essay. For some, it is a good idea to use a thesaurus (sparingly). Great job!
