I’ve got one child at Duke and one who will be applying ED next fall with similar HS stats. These postings about legacy rejections are disturbing. For those whose kids were rejected, did your S’s/D’s apply ED or RD?

I have heard that the real boost for legs is ED…demonstrating your devotion to your mom/dad/sibling’s alma mater. If a leg applies RD, it means Duke was not a clear first choice, so no real leg advantage.

So, was it ED or RD for your rejected/waitlisted kids?
