<p>harvard? what?</p>
<p>and thank you aflorian! :)</p>
<p>What is your weighted GPA?</p>
<p>You seem not to have any AP classes, which definitely will hurt you big time if true, and SAT scores are really sketch (other than a nice reading score).</p>
<p>Given the info, I’d say mid reach.</p>
<p>Weighted for all 3 years so far is like 4.321 something, I’ve taken AP English Language, AP Psych, and AP Chem. This year I’m taking AP Calc and AP Music Theory. Sorry I forgot to mention AP classes lol</p>
<p>can anyone speak in regard to my chances in early decision please?</p>
<p>bummmp arrrr</p>
<p>Apparently I’m also a National Merit Semifinalist. >_> I didn’t even know I made it that far</p>

<p>are you applying to Pratt or Trinity? there is a lower acceptance rate for Trinity because of the abundance of applicants.</p>
<p>Trinity. How much lower? And exactly what kinds of qualifications do most people applying have? As in, do all 18 million people applying to Duke have stuff…well, better than me for example lol, or are there people who just apply “in case they get in,” or whatever? Basically, how serious are all the thousands of applications?</p>
<p>Sometimes that ED acceptance rate is overrated. The majority of people argue that it’ll help, but the rest say that it’ll definitely hurt the average student (ie good SAT, very good academics (3.8), a few ECs, no national/state recognition).</p>
<p>Most people who apply ED are outstanding applicants (valedictorians, science olympiads, etc…), legacies, or athletes. So although the pool will be significantly smaller, it’ll also be flooded with shining applications. You might want to keep this in mind when applying ED to Duke.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Does having a grandfather who went to Duke but was called away on military service before graduating make me one of them “legacies”?
And thank you, I’d never thought of all that before lol</p>
