I think your chance is very high, unless duke's admission policy has a big change from
that of previous years !

technically you can't be a NMS finalist yet..... >_> I know about 90% of us will be finalists, but because you won't be announced as a finalist til February and your decision will be made by December, I really hope you didn't put Finalist on your app cuz that's technically lying/misrepresenting yourself....
They probably won't be like "OMG LIAR!" but they know that no one is a finalist yet so you will only be counted as a Semifinalist, and they might get kinda annoyed at that....
