<p>COMMON APP... and does the suplemt require anything like a teacher rec or a transcript to be sent? </p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>speedhunter12,
are you applying early decision?</p>
<p>Stats are kinda similar to mine, I'd say shoot for it but it's not HUGELY likely. Yeah you need to send transcripts and request (2 I think) recs from teachers.</p>
<p>actually I'd say it's hugely unlikely. I know a kid from my school who applied ED and while his gpa is significantly lower (3.6 UW), it is supplemented by an all-IB curriculum and a 34 ACT. He is captain of 3 HS teams, did music for 11 years, among a large number of other noteworthy accomplishments, and HE thinks that his chances are nonexistent, I bet him $100 bucks that he'll get in though, and we're about to find out his decision :).</p>

<p>i might be blind but i dont see that anywhere on the suplment</p>
<p>Character and personal qualities are on par with academic achievements at the top schools, and good candidates have both. Also, while good test scores will never completely substitute a poor GPA, they do show academic promise and can help adcoms to overlook a GPA that's slightly on the weak side (3.5-3.7), assuming the rest of the application is <em>very</em> strong. Remember, these people WANT to accept everyone, they just don't have enough spots...</p>
<p>Duke is a top tier school that revolves slight more around liberal arts than the sciences. With english scores like that I can honestly tell you to go apply somewhere else.</p>
<p>speedhunter- no need to be rude or nasty, with an attitude like that you'll get in nowhere</p>
<p>i apologize for trying to be helpful- i was refering to the fact that you need an offical transcript sent to your school</p>
<p>once again i apologize for trying to help</p>

i did not mean to be rude i just had not seen the additional forms tab at the top (commonapp.org) so i was confused and i was just asking and saying i am probally overlooking it </p>
<p>thanks again</p>
