<p>i just have to say… i think its REALLY REALLY FUNNY how you are a legacy from both UNC and duke. that’s probably so uncommon lollol</p>

<p>Thats impressive, if you keep that up through senior year you are competitive for all of those, UNC and Duke being near locks, the other 4, well those are reaches for everyone but you certainly have a good shot.</p>

<p>I need something like “The house/family divided” sticker. :slight_smile: My parents aren’t really in to sports so much though because they each attended a good number of colleges that weren’t known for sports.</p>
