<p>EXCELLENT CHANCES in my opinion! Your ACT is a little weak for Duke, but your ECs and GPA more than make up for it! Good luck!</p>

<p>ur a dick. everyone says the only thing im missing is leadership and that apparently because ur the president of everything. have fun at duke</p>

<p>Math ACT is iffy, but ignoring that you’re in. Taking that into account you have a very high chance.</p>

5

<p>Extremely low ACT Math is the only thing holding you back, but I think you have a good chance still. Mu Alpha Theta doesn’t balance your 24 ACT, it will probably make adcoms wonder why you are in Mu Alpha Theta if you are not good at math. If you are good at math and the low ACT score was because of something else, you should have retaken.</p>
