OK chance of making Duke, but that weighted GPA will be low. ECs strong (Ik about speech), good test scores. Duke is kind of a crapshoot, but you have a pretty good chance. Make sure you don’t get too down if you don’t get in though.

Intended major? GPA is fine from what I can tell… 4.6 Is high

You seem like you have a decent chance. Worrying about the quantity of hours negatively affecting you at 260 is ridiculous.

One red flag to me though was the lack of an intended major. It may hurt you in the sense that you haven’t really shown a passion for anything in particular other than debate and a bit of finance. Is economics something that you are interested in?

Your. extracurriculars are solid. Your GPA is probably too low for Duke. That stands out. I really do not think you should apply to Duke. ED increases your chances of getting in, hence you should maximise your chance of getting in a top college such as JHU and Cornell which are not as selective.
