@JimBurles2189 Everything depends on the year you’re applying and the quality of the applicant pool. If you’re a world class pianist but Duke already has too many piano players on campus or in the applicant pool, it won’t help you. At worst, it could hurt but that’s why your entire application gets looked at as opposed to just one factor. In that year being a prodigious Ukulele player or famous tap dancer would’ve probably helped instead.

Same with geography. Your chances would depend on how many students are applying from your state. But generally yes, Duke gets a ton of California applicants yearly so it’s not particularly going to help you. I can neither confirm nor deny whether being the only person applying from your school helps.
