Automatically getting into Duke University?

There was this kid in my physics class who told me that he could get automatic admission into Duke University simply because he was a descendant of the founder. I suspect this is a load of bull but is there any truth to this?

yes. if he has decent grades and whatnot, and he is a direct descendant of the founder of duke, he can probably get in if his parents make the right phone calls.

I don’t know if this particular case is true, but it certainly happens.
