<p>I would stop asking people to vote on your application. They don't have all the information about you, nor are they on the admissions committee. You are clearly a strong applicant. They will know that you can hack it at Duke. This puts you in the company of 85% of the applicants. They'll look at all the variables and shake the dice. Duke's admission/rejection will not make or break your academic/professional career. Keep plugging, and congrats on your efforts so far.</p>
<p>Cleareyedguy: You're right. I shouldn't ask people to vote on my application. Thanks.</p>
