<p>I'm not sure how these schools regard homeschooling, but those test scores would convince just about any school to admit you. Duke seems to be very big on activities, so you may need more. In my opinion, you would be in at U Chicago if your essays are good and if you seem to be right for the school. Even with some of those scores and not all, U Chicago should be possible. Princeton- well, it's a question mark for almost anyone, but you would have the scores, for sure.</p>

<p>i really really want to go to princeton (from nj). i wish there were something you could do to guarantee admission there.</p>

<p>UChicago = 40% Acceptance rate. So, probably.</p>

<p>At Princeton and Duke however, acceptance rates are so low, I'd say even someone with those stats are hit-or-miss...</p>

<p>Have a parent elected to the Senate and then donate $100 million to the endowment. It's the only way to be sure.</p>

<p>It's a mistake to focus on any one school. Even if you ended up going to that one school, it may not be the way that you imagined it. It is better to focus on yourself and the qualities in a school that would work for you. Then, you can target a group of schools, get into some of them, choose, and hopefully be happy.</p>
