<p>The title pretty much says it all.</p>
<p>Assuming my GPA, recommendations, etc. are all up to par, is an ACT composite of 31 good enough to get accepted into Duke early admission? Even though I fall into the 98th percentile (according to ACT.com), I feel like my score is too low (probably because I see everyone on this forum complaining about ACT scores of 32, 33, and 34...lol)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I'm sure you will be fine. 31 is not REALLY good but It's definitely very solid. So I would not worry about it much. I think the average act score for duke is between 29-33 or something like that. So you are definitely in the range bud. But I think it wouldn't hurt you to try taking it one more time in October.</p>
<p>duke is ED not EA</p>
<p>lol wow I'm brilliant. In my defense I was a bit sleepy when forming this thread, so I abbreviated Early Decision with "EA."</p>
<p>Anyway, 31 ACT composite for Duke ED? What do you guys think?</p>
<p>It's fine. I know someone who got into Harvard with a 32. (But of course, his application was chock-full of leadership/volunteer/extra-curricular/athletic activities) Remember that colleges look at your whole application, not just the test scores.</p>
<p>the act score is great, just as long as you have high gpa/ec's a 31 usually does suffice</p>
