according to the charts Duke accepted some 168 4.0's as late as April last year so no if you want to wait till april. They also did some Februaries so if you get lucky you could know earlier. The 168's they accepted in December were like ED's so that opportunity has passed. @chowiebean

Merry Christmas LSD: Life only makes sense when you look back on it. As you look forward, it is a scary mystery. But just work hard, and find stuff you don't hate to do. It will all work out.
