<p>Kids's got excellent reccos for Duke (2 teachers and counsellor). Also from mentor. Read somewhere that Duke seems to value a recommendation from Family Member. Is it true and/or necessary?</p>
<p>I think they’d value it in that it’d help them reject your kid. Whose parent wouldn’t say their kid is the best thing since sliced bread. It means nothing.</p>
<p>Parent312-- where did you read that (seriously, where)? Duke requires two teacher reccomendations as well as a counselor rec. An additional letter is optional, and encouraged if you are not interviewed.</p>
