Is your soccer ability at Division I/ACC level and would you be interested in playing at Duke? If so, being a “recruited intercollegiate athlete” would be a substantial competitive plus. Legacy generally is far less helpful, since many alumni love Duke but do not provocatively and continuously assist the University (e.g., regional alumni programming and service, university governance, academic/intellectual contributions, financial support that is noteworthy, fund raising campaign participation, student career counseling and recruiting, reunion leadership, countless hours working with staff, faculty, deans, vice presidents and other senior administrators to enhance Duke, and so forth).

If you can improve your ACT and especially if you have the desire and ability to play soccer for Duke, you’ll have a solid chance. Good luck to you.
