<p>So I was a National Merit Commended Student and they let us pick 2 schools to have a recommendation or something sent to and I picked my state school and Duke.</p>
<p>Do you think that the admissions officers will even care?</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>Duke and other ivys probably won’t pay too much attention to it, as most of their applicants are at least Commended, if not more. Which state school are you applying to?</p>
