176 3.56 WL at duke??
I applied mid december, got waitlisted last week (1/19). Wondering what you guys think my chances are to get off the waitlist, and possibly get some aid. I'm writing an LOCI right now to make it clear I'm serious, but I was expecting to get a straight admit?? What's the deal duke?

You probably didn't write a compelling Why Duke, if at all. That is usually a first-class ticket to your position. Remember, Duke is the third smallest t13 with class size. They can and do care about people who are genuinely interested and excited about the school. Straight numbers dont necessarily get you there.
