<p>Okay, so we are in Duke! I just visited and it is the best campus ever. One thing I don't want to have to worry about though, being an unlucky plain old white male without legacy and/or money to lose, is if affirmative action and legacy might hurt me and others like me like it did in the regular cycle for undergrad. admissions.</p>

<p>I don't want to debate the fairness of it, but I was wondering if these two things are as big a factor for admissions into great law schools like Duke, Harvard, and Georgetown, or if it is really not that large of a factor at all...thanks!</p>

<p>P.S.--I just visited Duke today and it's great. Very diverse, large amount of internationals, everyone had something that I couldn't really name that was similiar and yet so different...great!</p>

<p>Not to scare you or anything but I know for a fact that Affirmative Action is twice as prevalent in grad school admisssions than undergrad admissions. My uncle is a college counselor for UMiami btw, so I would take it as fact…</p>
