I concur with the other posters, your application does seem very dank. It’s scary how similar our stats are. I’m applying to Pratt too, hopefully I’ll get to meet the “asian male D:” who characterizes himself as “a brilliant writer” and a “radical guitar player.” Your ecs also seem related to your major, which is gud. :))))))))

I think you’ll get in. Make sure to express interest because with stats like this it can really differentiate you from the 36 applicant who never writes an email to their counselor.

I was just accepted to Duke ED and my stats weren’t half as good as yours! Your SAT and AP scores are amazing! Plus your ECs are astounding. Just be yourself and allow your personality to shine through in your essays which seems evident. You have an excellent chance. Make sure your essays are humble, I know one person who looked excellent on paper but was deferred ED since she was too cocky. You got this! If you have any questions feel free to message me. Good luck!

Hi everyone; if you got into Duke ED, did you get a letter in the mail?
What about people who were deferred or rejected?
I applied to Duke ED and received no letters. Obviously I know this isn’t a good sign, but I would like to have something in hard copy. I could never find my admission result because they blocked me out of my onelink account.
