<p>Essay
Spoken truthfully from events with duke and legacy mentors in my life
Well written as told from comments from others</p>

<p>Recs
Assuming very good
College counselor rec may save my rank? After comparing transcripts I would be ranked 5th in the junior class below me. My counselor ensured my class that as we are top heavy she will attempt to persuade admissions offices not to value our class rank to much.</p>

<p>Thanks for any help! I've wanted to go to Duke largely my whole life, it would be disappointing to find out that being in a very top heavy class would ruin my chances.</p>

<p>Oh hooks: 5 aunts and uncles who graduated from duke
2 grandparents that graduated from duke</p>

<p>I have also recently been accepted as a presidential scholarship finalist, so I guess that may be some hope that my extracurriculars and touch schedule are carrying me through my average GPA and class rank?</p>

<p>Edit
I am a semifinalist, not finalist. Thats at Georgia Tech, apologies for not being specific. </p>

<p>1500$ at RMHC not %.</p>

<p>Apologies for the mix ups. </p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>
