<p>Your test scores are low for Duke, but the academic rigor is there, and you seem to be doing well with a challenging course load. However, none of you ECs stand out at all. You are pretty much in honor societies and play sports, which many Duke applicants do. You have average volunteering. So in that regard you don’t stand out either. You need to write incredible essays and having amazing letters of rec in order to have a good shot. Based on what you posted I would say that it is a reach. Good luck! I hope to see you there next year!</p>
