Chance me please? :) In state, RD hopeful!

<p>I am applying to Duke undecided. I am an in-state student from New Hanover county, and come from a competitive high school within the area. I am female and hispanic, but I don't know if that holds any weight at Duke.</p>

<p>GPA: UW: 3.93, W: 4.81 (with first semester senior grades)
Rank: 9/398 (top 2%)
SAT: CR: 630 M: 660 W: 770, superscore: 2060, best in one sitting: 1990
SAT II: French: 610, Math II: 660</p>

<p>APs:
Calc AB (5), Calc BC (4), English Lang (4), Environmental (4)
Senior Year AP's: Statistics, Literature, Pyschology, Physics C: Mechanics, Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism
Other Senior Year Courses: Honors English 4, Honors French 4, German I (or possibly Honors French 5, still waiting to hear!)
IBs: Not available at my high school</p>

<p>EC's summary:
National Honor Society: 1 year
National Beta Club: 2 years
French Club: 3 years (1 year as secretary, 1 year as VP)
Varsity Math Team: 1 year
Environmental Club: 1 year
Prom Committee: 1 year
Other various activities: I have participated in 3 various foreign exchange programs throughout high school, and am in the midst of coordinating a foreign exchange program for my school for this coming spring (2012). I have worked with the Honors Flight organization to do fundraisers which raise money to send veterans of war to Washington DC to visit various memorials. I have also worked 2 jobs, if that holds any weight.</p>

<p>Recommendations: One from an english teacher (very good), and another from my math teacher (very good). I'm assuming my counselor rec was decent as well.
Essays: Strong
Other: URMS; first-generation college student</p>

<p>I am hoping to enter Duke during the fall of 2012. Any insight on my chances of getting accepted?</p>

<p>You have the stats in terms of GPA, and anything above a 2000 is good (that is their 25th percentile, so you are above that, which is also good). URM will probably help, as well as 1st gen. I think you will get in. Good luck.</p>

<p>As far as advice, you seem to be on the right track, and apps are already sent in, so there is not much to do but wait :)</p>

<p>Thank you! I am crossing my fingers and waiting until April 1st! I haven’t had an alumni contact me about an interview yet, though… Will that hurt my chances of acceptance?</p>
