@10000019 you think the evidence shows that northwestern, Cornell, and duke are regarding as solidly superior? I like Georgetown and its location more than those other schools. I didn’t realize there was that much of a disparity.
Considering they prefaced it as an "anxiety" survey, I was surprised to see so many Qs about identity (they were obviously going for race/ethnicity) and intelligence...
Did you write the optional essays? December isn't early, but it's not super late. Getting WT from Michigan and Duke with those numbers makes me think the schools didn't think you were serious about attending.
You are more than fine. keep the score tempting fate isn't worth it for a one point ego boost. As long as you have extra curricular/ work experience and a decent personal statement you will be more than in at Duke.
Yes probably yield protect. In the hypothetical world where that holds true (and I assert it probably does). Admissions @ Duke probably thinks you will accept at HYS instead.
Dont panic. If Duke is really your top choice, let them know. If you were applying to Duke as a safety, they will probably know because your app may not have been as strong as someone gunning for Duke as their top choice.
