Can I Go To Duke?

<p>Hi i am currently a junior and i was wondering what are my chances for applying to duke next year? Also, if duke seems out of reach what sort of schools do you think i should apply to? I am primarily interested in studying biology but haven't really decided anything yet as i have an equal liking for physics.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.85 unweighted, 4.6 weighted Top 6-7ish percent (Also, i dont know if this is worth mentioning but i got a couple b's freshmen year then halved my amount of b's sophomore year. So far this year i have gotten straight a's even tough my classes are much tougher)</p>

<p>SAT: 2190 (will retake)
770 math, 710 rd, 710 writing</p>

<p>AP World History: 5 AP European History: 5</p>

<p>Junior course load: APUSH, IB theory of knonwledge, IB research, AP Eng Lang,
IB physics 3, AP statistics, IB Bio 3, IB Latin 4</p>

<p>Senior course load: IB contemporary History, IB theory of knowledge 2, AP macroeconomics, AP World Lit, AP Physics B, AP Calc AB, AP Bio, AP Vergil </p>

<p>Three years varsity cross country
Three years varsity track and field
National Latin Honor Society and Junior Classical League- placed at regional comps.
National Honor Society (plan on running for treasurer)
Medical Society (might be vp)- school club where we work with simulator in hospital
Medical Explorers- program at hospital where we learn and here from all things medical related
Chinese Club
Have over 60 volunteer hours at hospital- plan on getting 120 more this summer
have 30 hours volunteering at library</p>

<p>Ik i dont have any amazing ecs but really i devote all my time to running, about 49 weeks a year, 6 days a week- and those 10-15 milers can take a lot longer than an hour. Unfortunately i'm not like state champion- i have asthma and am not built for running. Having said that however, i am pretty decent and have worked really hard for what its worth.</p>

<p>If you apply ED, I think you have a good shot of getting in. RD is more tough to call. Good luck!</p>
