well, duke is somewhat stats-driven, but you have decent stats and you had good grades from a public elite–that’ll help. If you went to a normal public, I wouldn’t be as positive about your prospects.

I didn’t apply to Duke or Rice, but it seemed like Rice was a little harder to get into from my friends’ results. That could be because rice offers very generous merit aid for national merit scholars, and so there was a lot of top people from my school applying to Rice and crowding others out.
