<p>Unfortunately I also think you are on the lower end…:frowning: sorry</p>

<p>Your UW GPA is rather low for Duke, and from what you posted your ECs are lacking for what Duke typically wants. However, your SAT is in the middle 50%, so it is ok, but still could be better if you wanted to improve your chances.</p>

<p>Maybe provide some more info and we could give you a more accurate chance:</p>

<p>-What is your class rank? How competitive is your school? Where is it?
-Are you taking those APs now, (Im assuming your a senior) or did you take some junior year? If you already took them, what scores did you get?
-Have you taken the ACT?
-Let us know about any other ECs if you have any
-Are you hooked? (URM, legacy, first generation college, etc)</p>

<p>Also - are you applying Pratt or Trinity?</p>
