@kystle Let me just say, because this message gets lost with the focus everyone has on number of APs and whether you’ve done enough ECs, ranked high enough, etc. — you are clearly a remarkable, talented, driven, and exceptionally bright young man. It’s not so much where you go but what you do when you get there. So please don’t get too hung up on one particular school or obsessed with arbitrary rankings. Find a place where you will thrive—there are many such schools, I promise!
True confession, I do undergraduate interviews as an alumni based on my graduate degree because the university I interview for is in need of more interviewers and still doesn’t have enough to go around. I thrived at my small midwestern liberal arts school, graduated at the top, and was easily accepted to 8 top 20 law schools, attending a top 3 (I still think rankings are arbitrary but we seem to be stuck with them). I credit my undergraduate education for my success and preparing me well - being a big fish in a small pond was a blessing for me.
I am not discouraging your Duke application at all. On the contrary — you are an excellent candidate and any school would be lucky to have you. But remember that there are many, many paths to success and admissions is somewhat arbitrary and a numbers game.
Good luck!
