Personally, I’d say that Duke is very flexible. You need 34 to graduate (that includes all the ALP… CZ… and what not). You have 4 years x 2 semesters x 4 classes (assuming no overloading) = 32 credits. So all you need to do is come in with 2 AP credits (which it seems like everyone on CC has) and you’re set with a normal semester every year assuming you don’t mess up your plan horribly. Although it might seem daunting, the people at Duke make it very reasonable, and there are advisors (sometimes more than one) each step of the way to make sure you don’t need 7 classes the last semester to graduate.

Oh and a quick thing for those of you who want to double major as an engineer (not just dual):
I first thought it migh be really hard, but with enough AP credits (msg me for details), its definitely possible with only overloading in 2-3 semesters. I’m going for BME/Econ/Premed and so far it doesn’t look like its going to be killer. So if this is your thing, go for it!
