OP has stated in another thread that his family does NOT qualify for FA. He will be covering the rest of the COA with loans.

Stats for Duke/UNC’s Robertson scholars usually consist of:
2300+ SAT/35+ ACT
4.0 UW, Most Rigorous Courseload (10+ AP’s is Ideal)
780+ on at least 2 Subject Tests
Unique EC’s / Community Service
Great Recs

If you fit into this criteria, maybe it is best you apply to elite merit scholarships at schools (Emory Scholars, Vandy Scholars, USC Presidential Scholarship, etc.).

Attending a financially feasible school should come first, swimming comes second.
