Can I get in?
What should my test scores be?</p>
<p>It's definitely possibly for you. I would say to have an SAT score of above 1400 and distinguish yourself some way or another. I was just accepted to Duke, so if you wanna know anything more, just ask.</p>
<p>what was your GPA and test scores?</p>
<p>GPA was 3.96 / 4.0 unweighted, 6.6 weighted
800 Math, 670 Verbal, 710 Writing
800 Math IIC, 750 Physics, 750 Math IC, 700 US History
For me, it was really my summer involvements in research and academic camps, one which was TIP program at Duke.</p>
<p>Being a white male makes things harder, especially since u are from Chicago. I am a white male from rural appalachia with a 1490 (m v) on the SAT. Thankfully, I got into Duke, but I was rejected/waitlisted by all six ivy league schools I applied to. It is just really hard for white males to get into competitive schools.</p>
<p>do the duke TIP programs help with admission to Duke and other colleges?</p>
<p>Duke TIP does help somewhat, but it is not an overriding factor in admission. I know of several other TIP participants that were rejected or waitlisted at Duke.</p>
