Great and good teacher rec, good counseler rec, good rec from the chair of foriegn language dept who I voulenteered for
EC: decent and quite a bit but no leadership, 1 month of work last summer, month of work voulenteering at afformentioned forign languages dept.</p>
<p>It looks like it may not be enough, what would be a good safe school that I could get in to?</p>
<p>Without considering the fact that you live in North Carolina and ur a URM, Duke would be a reach for you. Your SAT scores are reasonable besides your writing score (which duke says it doesnt consider anyways). However, im not really familiar with the acceptance rate for NC students so I honestly cant say. Also, ur URM could also really help. When you add those two variables into the ball game, you chances range from slim to pretty reasonable.
Keep on working hard! If you apply, you def could have a chance.</p>
<p>NC residency and URM status are good hooks to have. But I'm not sure exactly how much they are gonna help because I had a couple of other hooks. Your SAT score (without writing) is pretty good. I don't know about your EC's though.....no leadership does not hurt. But it's something nice to have. Make sure that you demonstrate your commitment and dedication. A couple of well-written essays could certainly make you stand out.</p>
