<p>What other schools did you get accepted to? If you were accepted to one of Duke’s peer schools like Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown, Penn, Columbia, Northwestern, UChicago, etc., then the FA office will absolutely match the other school’s offer if it is significantly higher. Another poster here on CC had success doing this and leveraging the FA Cornell gave him.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you and hopefully your Duke education becomes a reality!!:)</p>
