<p>Frankly, I think there’s <1% chance of you getting rejected from BC, Notre Dame, AND Georgetown, and getting accepted to Duke all at the same time. If you’d rather choose those three schools over Duke, I don’t see much incentive to apply to Duke…but I guess doesn’t hurt or require any more effort except for the application fee/interview. And your opinion of what school you actually want to go to could end up changing between now and your acceptances next year. (I’m not saying those schools are easy to get into or safeties for you, by the way. Simply that they are less selective and thus the chances of you getting rejected from all three and getting into a school like Duke that is much more selective than say, BC, is very small.) I think your chances are solid. Good luck.</p>
