I’m a senior this year. I’d like any input for my chances of getting into Duke Universtiy. My current unweighted GPA is about 8% in my class. My ACT is 35 and expect my SAT subject tests for math and physics as 800 and 780+ (the scores will come out in September). I got high score for PSAT and am a candidate for national merit scholarship, AP Scholar with honor(took 4 AP courses so far and got 5 for 3 and 4 for 1. I’m taking 6 AP courses and 1 college class this year. I’ll turn in my 1st quarter grade to Duke, hopefully to bump up my GPA more. Since I’ve been taking orchestra class all these years, my GPA was negatively affected for the first 3 yrs, cause it only counts as Honors class this last yr), and I’m two years recipiant of Honors Orchestra in the state.

Extracurricular Activities: 7 years track and field in my HS, varsity; 1 year basketball at my HS, 2 years captain of intramural basketball team at my HS, 2 years basketball at Y League, 2 years orchestra club at my HS

Volunteer jobs:100 hours in a charity organization, 100 hours as coach assistant for track and basketball

Work experience: 1 yr teaching cello

I’m Asian, male. Thank you for all your feedback!!!

There are some “oddities” in your post. “unweighted GPA is about 8% in my class” doesn’t sound right. What is your unweighted GPA?

Also, “7 years track and field in my HS”. Have you been in your high school for 7 years? That is a long time to be in high school, but I expect that something has been mis-typed or mis-interpreted.
