<p>I think you’ve got it. Of course at that level it’s always kind of a crap shoot. But you definitely have a good shot.

<p>What do you mean by “waste of ED?” If you mean it would get in regardless of when he applied, then yes, I believe the OP would be competitive RD. However, if he really, really wants to go to Duke and kind of maximize his odds of getting in, then he was right to apply ED.</p>
