What are my chances? I’ll chance you back 
You have done a lot of amazing things. I think that you can get into Duke ED provided you write good essays.
Best of luck!
I think you will be fine for everything but you know Duke can be reach to everyone. Amazing scores and GPA! Only if I have those standardized test scores… I agree with mumbi98 that you should now focus on your essay and try to sell yourself better to stand out.
Help me also!

Personally, I think you have a shot at the Ivies. Have you considered applying to them? My brother had similar stats(he also got a 2360, and is an asian-american male) and got into Yale, Stanford, UChicago, Duke, Amherst, and WashU. I think you should definitely apply to higher schools, but you have a great chance at Duke! With your high test scores, I’d say that BU, Michigan, the UC’s are all safeties for you.
Its nice to hear that! Thats definitely perfect for admission. For UCB, its the same case with me. I am also applying to civil engineering major but with a 3.96 gpa transfer from cali community colllege.
