[quote=Anonymous]1. All of the schools you mentioned (UNC, Duke, MI and USC) are essentially lottery schools, esp for out of state. For every accepted student offer they make, there are 10,000, if not more, equally qualified candidates. Your son won the lottery at the other 3 schools. 2. Duke prefers legacy students. I only have anecdotal evidence for this, but I am aware of a dozen (maybe a few more) legacy students getting in to Duke over the past 8 years of my 3 kids applying to various colleges, plus knowing about their peers, plus 2 relatives in other states. The only ones who have gotten in are legacies.[/quote]
