<p>awards???????//</p>

10

<p>umm just like national merit commended if that counts... my bio teacher keeps talking about some Bio Book award or something that he thinks i should get but that's not til the end of the year and i'm not sure what it is so it doesn't count</p>

11

<p>I guess i'm less like insanely worried because i feel like i have a decent chance, but more completely obsessed because I don't know yet and am left to wonder and spend my night on this message board. I can't wait to just know either way, you know what i mean?</p>

<p>Speaking of finding out... anyone know when you typically hear when they say you'll be notified "by december 15th" and "in mid-december" and they have an online notification thingy? Does that mean on December 15th? Or before? Anyone know what they typically do?</p>

12

<p>If you get rejected to Duke, then it's completely their loss(but that will NOT happen, you'll get in).</p>

13

<p>In my reason you should be accepted based on your merits. But you will be accepted for sure b/c of your legacy. The reason being is it'd be an insult to all of your relatives for Duke to reject a seemingly perfect applicant. I say "seemingly perfect," not b/c you necessarily are not but b/c there are others w/ similar stats that are rejected. But I highly doubt that anyone w/ your numbers is rejected ED w/ the kind of legacy you have.</p>

<p>PS No guarantees. This is Duke, but I think it's highly likely.</p>

14

<p>***? r u guys taking him fo serious yo?</p>

15

<p>actually i'm a girl :)</p>

16
