<p>while comtemplating how the f**k i got into duke, i realized that… being from new jersey… duke might have thought i would be more likely to go there since my sister, a freshman at elon university {down the road from duke}, already goes to NC. any thoughts?</p>
<p>I seriously doubt it. Duke expects a 44% yield, so it’s not like they’re out to protect it at all costs (<em>coughWUStLcough</em>). It’s not like they didn’t have plenty of qualified people that really wanted to come! You were accepted on the basis of merit and potential, same as everyone else.</p>
