<p>In the big picture of things, I don’t think you will upset too many people if you choose not to attend Duke. If you hadn’t applied ED, does that mean one more person might have been selected? Nobody knows! If it was me, I would ask my parents to pay for your whatever it’s going to cost to go to UF and then bank the rest for your graduate school education or as a nest egg to get you off to a great start. That’s sort of what my stepmom did for my stepsister.</p>
