<p>I do not have any relatives that have attended Duke, but I will have access to many alumni recommendations, as well as teacher and guidance councilor recommendations. </p>
<p>I visited Duke this past year with my school, met up with one of my friends already attending Duke divinity afterward. I do not know what else to say other than I fell in utter love with everything about the school, not just the ambiance, the people, or the architecture, but the challenges and opportunities it creates. Although, it is not usual for someone to come from a school like mine in my opinion. Everyone around, even given my credentials, do not believe I even have a shot. I just want an honest opinion. Duke is my dream and any advice about what to do now while I'm only now leaving my sophomore year would be amazing!
Advice on ED also?</p>
