<p>Can anyone chance me for Duke ED and Vanderbilt/Cornell/Brown/UPenn RD? I'll be applying for Trinity Class of 2018 for Duke. Also, can anyone provide me with what schools would be matches and safeties for me? I live in FL, so if a public school is mentioned, I would rather it be a Florida school so I don't have to pay an exorbitant amount of tuition.</p>
