<p>In the strictest sense, your school transcript is what Duke placed the most emphasis on. Notice I don’t say grades, because arguably curricular rigor is more important. Also, note that this is the same across almost all schools so please don’t make an ED decision over which school treats what more importantly. As Vandy has pointed out, everything plays a role.</p>
