<p>I also did a week long operating room observation. I also helped a clicinical phramacist wit data gathering for a study on whether the hospital was using a blood thinner correctly and shadowed her when she did diabetes education. Probably going for premed thanks</p>

<p>Class rank or estimated percentile? How do you expect us to know how good your GPA is relative to your high school?</p>

5

<p>Our school doesnt do class rank. If u look I said I got cum laude which is the highest academeic honor they give
In my skool. I was one of three in my junior class so I suppose it wud put me as top 3</p>

<p>You’re scores are decent, but your EC’s seem a bit lacking. I’d prefer more in-depth stats than just positions. How good is your Model UN and Quizbowl? I don’t know if you should retake your actual SAT again. Your in the average for all but your CR. Regardless, it seems like a low-mid reach for Duke. Could you chance me back? I’m looking at Duke’s most hated rival: UNC-CH. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1385797-chance-me-unc-ch-ncsu-ecu.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1385797-chance-me-unc-ch-ncsu-ecu.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your SAT is good enough, but your SAT2s and APs are just simply below expectations for Duke and other similar schools. </p>

<p>I would not waste the time and money to apply.</p>

<p>Do ap scores really matter that much? So ur saying i shudnt even apply to top tier schools? Wow thanks man</p>

<p>Don’t listen to them!! Apply, you have good score and an even better shot if you retake your SAT 2’s. AP test scores wont hurt you so take a crack at the app and give it your best shot.</p>

<p>Chance me back?</p>

<p>Are you guys kidding? I say you have a pretty good chance of getting in Duke. The SAT II scores arent that great but definitely doesn’t count you out. Your ECs from a quick glance look ok and you SAT scores are good enough for Duke especially considering your Indian. Definitely apply. Low Reach/High match I would say</p>

<p>Thanks man… i appreciate it! Ill definitley chance you back.</p>
