I'm sorry, but I think this rant totally crosses the line...it's vitriolic, inflamatory, and unnecessary. I don't need your apology for going to Duke Med, and I don't think any other Dukies want it either. I absolutely love Duke and I love Durham (and I grew up in New England!), so there's no need for your sympathy.
I know the application process is frustrating at times, and this thread is all about venting, but this rant crosses the line. State your opinion and state your frustrations, but don't try to demean, insult and devalue the wonderful experience so many of us have at Duke just because you didn't get in, or because you found the application process to be frustrating. The fact is, many students volunteer a great deal of their own time to make the appliation process as smooth as possible for people like you, and for you to dismiss that outright is, quite simply, infuriating. Then again, this post makes me confident that the system actually works, because we wouldn't want to admit someone who'd say things like this anyway! Still, to suggest, as you did, that Duke admissions lacks integrity is just downright dishonest in itself...how ironic.
