<p>I’m no expert at determining whether your chances for each school are high or not but I will provide some input. You have very good grades and a great ACT score. It’s great that you are also in a lot of clubs and organizations, but do you specialize in the arts or music as well? I believe you will get into very good schools based on academic achievements. :)</p>

<p>I know someone who was waitlisted at Wash with a 32. lower grades though. so i think you will at leadt be waitlisted if not accepted</p>

<p>I think you are in at Duke</p>

<p>Georgetown is a mid reach-- hard to tell</p>

<p>good luck!! keep up the good work!</p>

<p>Well first off, Duke is more selective than WUSTL. Your ACT is slightly below the median for Duke, try to raise that if you can. Also, “Geometry Student of the Year” and the like aren’t really honorable awards at all. I wouldn’t even bother wasting adcom’s time listing those. But I’ve heard of the VFW Essay Competition before, that sounds impressive.</p>

<p>Anyways, you’re in at Georgetown, decent chance for WUSTL, and you have a shot at Duke. It’s around the Ivy level, and just as selective - no one can really tell you your chances at Duke for sure.</p>

<p>Quite impressive, URM, #1 class rank and good GPA, as well as solid test score that certainly won’t hurt you.
Georgetown is possible
Duke and WashU i would say you are likely in if your grades are good. Very selective admissions at those schools though so you never know.</p>

<p>Chance me back :smiley:
