<p>So I've always been an A/B student all my life, then junior year hit and I found myself struggling in AP Chem and Hon. Pre-calc. So I ended up getting C's in them first semester. I have a C again in chem this semester but brought my pre-calc grade to a B.</p>
<p>All my classes are honors/AP besides band, French, and p.e.
My unweighted cumulative gpa as of now (after 6 semesters of high school) is 3.55
I have always wanted to go to Duke but I know that my chances are close to none after a horrible junior year. However, I am still planning on applying there this coming fall. I plan on getting straight A's throughout senior year, so I'm wondering if my chances would be greater applying ED or regular with an improved gpa after first semester senior year.</p>
<p>Also, I'm also planning on applying to these schools:
U of I (Urbana-Champaign)
Purdue
U of Mich (Ann arbor)
Vanderbilt
Northwestern
Case Western
U of Wisconsin-Madison
Brown</p>
<p>What are my chances on getting into them? I have pretty good extra curriculars and planning on raising my ACT score to 33.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
