<p>EC’s are not too impressive, but I suppose anything’s possible. Mid to high reach for all except Florida and maybe Vanderbilt. Doesn’t Duke have early decision too, anyways? </p>
<p>and not early action</p>
<p>So are grades, volunteer, and honors/awards ok?</p>
<p>Your awards are kind of meh haha sorry, but nothing too unique. If you really kill the essay you probably have as good a shot as any</p>
<p>My recs are going to be awesome; my English teacher grades the AP Literature test every year, and she’s a killer writer. The other is my chemistry teacher who loves me, so I know its going to be a good rec. I already planned out my essay and asked my English teacher about it, and she approved. What do you think I should improve?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t try to fit in any last minute EC’s or anything; adcoms are usually wise to that kind of resume padding. Just make sure your essay is something that will stand out, but still speak honestly to you as a person.</p>
