<p>I'm REALLY passionate about science, so most of my EC and classes are science related.
also, I am really motivated and set high standards for myself.
I came to the U.S. five years ago without knowing any English and worked really hard to climb up to the level i am at right now.</p>

<p>so..what are my chances of getting into DUKE next year??!!</p>

<p>You're a senior citizen?
that might hurt a bit</p>

<p>... I can now say with confidence as to your chances as a newly admitted student that it's as good as anyone
but you never know.</p>

<p>My extra curriculars were nowhere near as impressive
and I thought my essay was weak... but ya never know!</p>

<p>senior citizen at my school means we will be volunteering during our senior year to help the underclass mates</p>
