I’m a junior in highschool, My Gpa is about a 3.8 on a 4.0, my sat is 2170 and act is a 33, national merit scholar, recipient of the presidents community service award for 3 years totaling up to around 300 hours so far, i rowed crew freshmen year and played golf sophomore and junior years and plan on playing it senior year as well. I founded a student managed investment fund this year which I am the president of (we invest actually money in the stock market and are funded by our school) I have been a member of youth and government and world affairs since freshmen year, I took 1 AP and 2 honor classes last year and am currently taking 3 AP’s(Chem, physics and us history) this year and plan on taking even more next year. Also I’m interested in majoring in economics or something else that would allow me to find a job on wallstreet. I know this isn’t the best resumé but can anyone tell me what my chances might be getting into Duke? Thanks!
A little higher SAT score and more APs couldn’t hurt. As a Junior with your accolades thus far, I’d say you’re a future match. Chance me

Honestly you are certainly on the right path. Your greatest assets is your stock market venture, to guarantee an acceptance I would capitalize on this. Perhaps this summer you could find an internship with something wall street or economics related, then transfer what you learn into your group. You have time to improve your grades and act if you want, but they are in the range. My advice is to work on the extracurricular path!
high match/low reach. you stand out, but it is duke. chance back please
