<p>whateverrr - I lurk on this board quite at bit but I rarely post. I just want to add that you should apply to Duke. You’re interesting and obviously have the basic elements to succeed at Duke. Whatever contibuted to your current GPA is probably something to try to correct before going to college - especially a top ten university like Duke.</p>
<p>My older kids are at elite dream schools. In the college process we visited Duke and I have a become a big fan. It’s still early for my next child but I have my fingers crossed for Duke. (We’re visiting again soon to look at specifics)</p>
