[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming that your child has not yet declined their OOS state school offer? It's bad form, but sure they can decline Duke if they want. The spot will go to someone else on the waitlist. You might want to check if they've already told their guidance counselor/high school about accepting Duke. Some high schools have policies about backing out of a waitlist offer you've already accepted since the high school ends up being blacklisted by admissions, which can affect acceptances for future classes.

If your child doesn't want to go to Duke for four years of their life, don't send them to Duke because of a high school "policy."  FFS.  [/quote]

It seems like OP’s kid is indecisive. Life’s about making decisions and sticking with them. The world would an incredibly chaotic place if we all decided to switch horses mid-race. [/quote]

give me a break, the colleges play games with the waitlisted kids. i would not feel bad about the kid bailing on Duke[/quote]
