<p>All of the metrics look good enough.</p>

<p>You're probably a lock for Duke.</p>

<p>As for the other schools, it just comes down to how well you sell yourself to that school. What can you tell them (through your essays) that make you and that school line-up?</p>

<p>For example, that rock band thing sounds pretty awesome. Did you talk about that? Do you jump off the page at your readers as someone who not only maintains academic excellence but is also musically talented and a cool dude?</p>

<p>What about the your work as a team captain and stuff? It comes down to what experiences do you have that are awesome and that the school will like.</p>
