@Marzzz one more thing. When my oldest son started Duke, Dean Guttentag (dean of admissions) addressed the incoming class. He acknowledged that everyone on the outside looks so accomplished and clam but that on the inside most were probably thinking, “Oops, why did they pick me. Surely it was a mistake.” That talk stuck with me. I think the big challenge of Duke is conquered if you go in recognizing that no one else is perfect either.
