(Hi Sligh)
How much would legacy status affect admissions at Duke and UNC-CH?

I’m considered a Legacy at Duke, I’m considered a double Legacy at UNC-CH and Hinton James (the first student at UNC-CH) is my great-great uncle. (I heard they made a big deal about the relationship to Hinton James when one of my relatives applied there.)

From what I see by looking it up, Duke has a 21% acceptance rate, and UNC-CH has a bout 34%.

I think you could get into either. (Unless NCSSM calls UNC… j/k)
