<p>Hi! This is my first time posting on this site, so I'm not too sure how it goes :X I'm another senior who is ridiculously stressed about college applications and...yeahhh!</p>
<p>I'm trying to apply to Duke by tonight for the whole interview thing. I was just wondering if someone could chance me.....I want to see if there's any hope at all :/ (for Duke and colleges like it, including Ivies.)</p>
<p>here goes:
SAT: 2220 (CR 800, M 690, W 730)
SAT II: 770, 770, 720
ACT: 33
GPA: 3.92/4 unweighted, 4.89/5 unweighted
Class rank: somewhere up there
AP: 5,5,5,5,4,4
senior courses: 3 APs, one dual enrollment...I'm talking 11 classes in a normally 8 period schedule
awards: National Merit Semifinalist, Baush & Lomb Science thing, NCTE Writing Award</p>
<p>I'm involved in and committed to plenty of ECs, but nothing extraordinary (only secretary of one club.) Worse in community service category. I know the SAT math score isn't too good (ironically, I got the 770 in Math II. Go figure), but I've already retaken the SAT and I'm fairly certain I did much much better.</p>
<p>I think my essays will save me--usually my writing is fairly decent. My recs are from two teachers and one counselor who like me in a nearly abnormal way.</p>
<p>What do you think? I know ECs and community service are incredibly important, but I have nothing in either of those that stand out. Do I have any chance???</p>
<p>Thanks~</p>
