[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know 1520 + national award who didn't get in.[/quote] Hah. The way you said this makes it sound like a 1520 and a national award guarantee admission.[/quote] No they def don't. But I don't see the OP with a 1450 and good ECs being what Duke wants. Maybe if legacy? Carolina?[/quote] Legacy does not move the needle at Duke. Especially if the kid only applies RD. For ED, legacy is at best a tie-breaker factor for kids with exceptional credentials who are already on the bubble. Unless the kid is from a proven major donor family, legacy is not enough to compensate for a weakness, including low test scores. (There are just too many Duke legacy kids who apply every year. Like Princeton etc. Duke could completely fill their class with strong, fully-qualified legacy applicants. But of course they do not.)[/quote]
