<p>Hello Guys
Congrats to all you got accepted in the Schools they wanted and to those who were a little dissapointed , lets just say that is not the way our path should go.
I applied to 4 got accepted to 3 schools Waitlisted at 1.
Accepted Boston College, Emory and NC Chapel Hill , Waitlisted at Duke. (a little surprising to me) as this was my 1st choice.I just want some feed back to help me make the right decision. Thanks</p>
<p>As a parent of a senior I would suggest writing a letter letting them know Duke is your first choice then I would get any additional recommendations
especially from Duke alums. This year I think you have a better chance if you are on the waitlist. I know a lot of people that have decided not to attend Duke because of the Lacrosse thing. The racial tensions in the town in addition to the increase in gang activity could cause people not to attend.</p>
<p>Thanks
As a minority (from Jamaica) I was also very concern about the racial tention . Although Duke was my 1st choice I am now wondering if I should pursue acceptance.</p>
