<p>Duke: Match</p>

<p>really? what makes u think im a match</p>

<p>Let's see...you have a 4.63 GPA (almost top 2% of class), have a 2110 SAT score where the middle 50% of admitted student have somewhere between 1990 and 2290, and you are African American. I'd be more surprised if you didn't get in then vice versa, but Duke has a very low acceptance rate (23%) so it becomes a reach for most applicants. I think you have a good chance, best of luck.</p>

<p>i hope//how bout chacnes for cornell?</p>

<p>being african american gives you a good shot at any school in the country</p>

<p>i dont kno, i dont really buy into that</p>

<p>id say youre in. we're still living in the era of affirmative action, buddy.</p>

<p>even without aa, he is still a qualified applicant to duke.</p>

<p>You're definitely at least match for Cornell.</p>

<p>wat percent chance u think im in for cornell?</p>

<p>You can get a rough idea of your chances by using the search feature to go into the CC archives and check admissions info on the colleges you're interested in.</p>

<p>Here's a thread on Duke admissions last spring: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=45919&page=6&pp=20&highlight=admitted%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=45919&page=6&pp=20&highlight=admitted&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>You are in at duke and cornell.</p>

<p>85% in at Duke, 95% in at Cornell.</p>

<p>slipper, by ur numbers (if they are true of course), it shows u the hold of affirmative action b/c not even a white dude with a perfect 1600 and perfect grades, national award would have those high of chances at these schools.</p>
