[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does having a parent who is a Duke undergrad alum seem to help at all as a "hook" in recent experiences? My kid has very good stats but so many do. Just curious. Public school in MCPS. All 4s on the four AP tests she's taken. One B in Honors Pre-Calc during junior year; all As.[/quote] Duke has been a really tough admit from MCPS and the DMV generally over the past three years or so. I know our school used to regularly send 5 or so to Duke. Now it's maybe 1. Having a parent who's an alum will help marginally in the ED round. But I personally don't think it's enough of a boost to waste the ED card unless it's truly the kid's dream school. It will do nothing in the RD round. I'd look at the data from your particular high school over the past three years before making any kind of decision regarding Duke and when to apply.[/quote]
