<p>to be honest, i don't think there is much chance.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I agree. It's worth applying if you really, really think Duke is a good place for you, but don't get your hopes up. Consider similar but slightly less selective schools like Wake Forest, U Richmond, or Elon.</p>

<p>I just have to say: "Would I receive any aid if family income is high six figures?" - erm... Why would you even have to ask, unless you are including the two after the decimal point? 'cause even a high six-figure salary in Levs is more than enough to escape the surly bonds of FAFSA...</p>

<p>Meantime, I would say that the academic side of the house is not necessarily your strong suit, but still, if the academics are solid enough AND there are other parts of your profile that indicate you would be a really cool addition to the class, there's a shot.</p>
