<p>I'm probably going to retake my SAT and ACT but i can't guarantee the scores will go up..
Right now my SAT practices are around... 2140? and my ACT is 32~33</p>

<p>do you think the fact that I'm writing a program to help teachers as something unique?</p>

<p>and I'm not asking for any financial aid btw yeah.. haha</p>

<p>The people who chance I thank you sooo much, and if you want me to chance you back just write it on your post with your idea Thanks guys!</p>

<p>definitely in shot of duke. your ECs don’t immediately jump out at me, so your essays must be infused with passion.</p>

<p>i don’t know what else to say to chance threads, to be honest. this is all a crapshoot, and luck does play into this somewhat. less than 8 in ten applicants are accepted - if you’re accepted, GREAT! :slight_smile: just remember to keep options open.</p>
