just wondering why u r ed to duke? your username is “Harvardorbust” and ur stats are clearly above it oriented towards science — have u considered Stanford cause Stanford loves science research kids who win awards like regeneron & intel
Duke is very strong in the sciences and it will only get better after a massive infusion of capital and resources (new engineering buildings, quantitative initiative, etc.)
As an ED applicant, I understand that it might be tempting to diminish the competition by suggesting that attractive candidates apply elsewhere but Duke has a long history of recruiting ISEF winners, Putnam fellows, etc.
A recent example is Brittany Wenger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany_Wenger
Shree Bose, another Google Science Fair Grand Prize winner is currently a medical student at Duke.
