[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know what you guys are smoking but Duke is statistically nearly as as much of a lottery as Harvard and Princeton- in fact more of one from certain schools. They don't like Sidwell for some reason. Duke does favor legacies in ED. Our kids are at a Big 3 school and we saw kids with the exact same stats as the OP's son getting rejected from HYPSM AND Duke and Northwestern. This kid seems like average supersmart kid- a dime a dozen in the DMV. And unless I missed something and the EC's are SUPER SUPER unique or the kid is URM/first gen which was not mentioned, all 3 are a crap shoot and it's ridiculous to try to game this.[/quote] Thanks for sharing. Our son hasn’t had a get get into Duke in many years, although I’m not sure if any of the applicants were early decision. Is there a chance Duke really does not like DS’s high school? I would say DS’s ECs are more what you would consider generic but I believe his awards are pretty good.[/quote]
