<p>Alex, </p>

<p>I am not an expert on chance sort of thing, but I have seen a lot of chance threads and I think your chance is very high for getting into Duke, especially you have pretty impressive AP/IB classes which should prepare you well in college. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I will be surprised if you don’t get into Duke. If your recs are great and your essays creative, you have an excellent chance. Do they know you are an immigrant?</p>
