<p>Looks good, as good a chance as anyone</p>

<p>Is that it?</p>

<p>Everything looks great- I think you have a pretty good shot at ED.</p>

<p>I’d recommend taking Math II and Chem SAT IIs, just to emphasize your competency in the math/sciences since your ECs don’t really demonstrate that. If you’ve taken AP Calc and Chem, both should be a breeze. :)</p>

<p>I think you have a solid shot. Although I would still put your chances of acceptance at 80%, above the average for Pratt ED applicants. For the last data set available, 83 out of 175 Pratt ED applicants were accepted. So 80% is above the average, though no guarantee.</p>

<p>Pratt’s middle 50% of ACT scores was 32-34.</p>

<p>You can find the data here: [Duke</a> University Admissions: Class of 2012 Profile](<a href=“http://www.admissions.duke.edu/jump/applying/who_2012profile.html]Duke”>http://www.admissions.duke.edu/jump/applying/who_2012profile.html)</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>seems like you have a great gpa and act score. they will jsut look and see if you have taken as many AP classes as possible in the math/sciences offered at your school. Your best measure is to see where people in the past have been accepted at yoru school. If 5-10 students go to schools like duke or better, then you have a great chance. its hard to judge gpa in high school</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses Ketty, Jason, and dormguy! My school doesn’t send too many people to top-20 schools, I’m afraid; the 2008-2009 valedictorians ended up at Vassar, Case Western, and Georgetown.</p>
