- Regarding your uncle, I suggest you not call the interviewer. It probably will not make a scintilla of difference, but the alumni might view this as your attempting to "name drop" (and that could be bad). Besides, in a prior thread I believe you mentioned that your uncle planned to contact admissions, so the individuals who actually count already know.
- Regarding Trinity, I don't believe that will be a problem for Duke, but as @NROTCgrad indicates, it may well be for the Navy. My experience -- not too current on this issue -- was each NROTC unit had a limitation on the number of non-engineering/physical science/math majors. Fundamentally, the Navy really is not eager for many Regular officers to be liberal arts majors. Further, your NROTC connection is likely an "admissions plus" with Duke. Therefore, you do not want to jeopardize it. With all this said, be VERY judicious in the way(s) you approach this question with Duke's NROTC leadership.
- Again, I wish you good luck.
