[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your son sounds amazing so congrats on the great options so far! But you have to remember Duke has like a 4% acceptance rate and that includes the hundreds of athletes, legacies, and big donors who have a backdoor into Duke each year. People like Jamie Dimon, Jerry Seinfeld, etc. are notorious for having paid large sums in the past to get their kids into Duke, so you can expect similar situations happened this year too. Also Duke is known to take deferrals seriously unlike some other schools so your son still has a decent chance![/quote] Thank you for the kind words. We did understand Duke is one of the handful of most competitive schools in the country beforehand, but we felt our son was on a good track given his entire package. Our son’s counselor also told us he’s a good enough candidate to be competitive for any school, so we thought early decision would communicate the strong interest he has in Duke[/quote]
