<p>I'm going to say that your chances are pretty good.. especially with your interest in robotics.. are u applying to Pratt?</p>

<p>with ur stats, you have a pretty good chance at Regular Decision. ED would take away your chances of fin. aid and scholarships.</p>

<p>applying ED does not affect financial aid at duke, thats a common misconception.</p>

<p>I think he just means the ability to compare the financial aid packages from different schools, which is a reasonable concern. I'm fairly certain I'll get adequate aid though, from what I understand Duke is extremely generous.</p>
