<p>-I thought my essays were outstanding. My 'Why Duke' was great IMO.
-I am also first generation (don't know if that helps).</p>

<p>I've made a thread before, but it was a while ago, and I forgot my username. And at the time, my application wasn't even started. But this pretty much sums up my App.</p>

<p>I also applied to a few Ivy Leagues, but I am starting to regret that decision. :(</p>

<p>The test scores are the only 'glitch' in the app, but you never know - Duke may just like you enough to pull you through!</p>

3

<p>You became SG president in 9th grade? And then fell in position until 12th? Interesting</p>

4

<p>Everything is good except the SATs, which aren't. I'd say with everything else you still have a strong chance</p>

<p>I'm assuming the OP probably ran for a different position each year... Hmm..</p>

<p>You SAT scores are a low for school like Duke. With that said, I know someone who got in with a 29 ACT which is probably equivalent to a 1950/2400.</p>

<p>Taking your word that you essays were "outstanding", I would say that you're probably in. Scores aren't everything, and you prove to be a strong candidate outside of SAT scores.</p>
