<p>^congrats! but of the schools you mentioned, only duke is supposed to be harder to get in.</p>

<p>Um no, UChicago and Rice are pretty hard to get in. Duke is not "harder" to get into than any of the schools arggg mentioned except NYU.</p>

<p>I mean, if you've been following along this thread, people have been accepted into Duke and waitlisted at Northwestern and Rice, accepted into Rice and Northwestern but waitlisted at Duke...various combinations. No one school is significantly "harder" to get into. They're all pretty hard to get into.</p>
