<p>Actually, my rank is not very good at all – I’m only in the top 20% :[ But if Duke doesn’t specifically ask for my rank, this shouldn’t be a problem, right?</p>
<p>Thanks for all the advice, guys! I will definitely keep it in mind. I will try to visit, but my parents rarely have time off from work to drive down there, so it might prove difficult. It’s true though, that I really have no idea until I visit. </p>
<p>I was considering writing my essay about the chess class that I started and maybe why chess is such a big part of my life, but I was worried that I would overemphasize chess, which I’ve heard is not a good idea? How much is too much?</p>
<p>Thanks again for all your help everyone!</p>
