Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I will have taken 5 AP’s by the time I graduate. I know that is not a lot compared to public schools, but I go to a private school where all non-AP classes are pretty much classified as honors because of they’re difficulty. I’m taking close to the max number of AP’s offered. But I am also currently taking Calculus as a junior and will be taking Multi-Variable Calculus next year as a senior. Does that give you enough info about course rigor?</p>

22

<p>It is fuzzier when the school doesn’t rank. While colleges have enough info to know where you rank, it gives them the flexibility to accept you without negatively impacting their stats (% in top 10%).</p>

<p>Do your best to pull up the GPA and see what happens.</p>

23

<p>yeah i mean my grade only has around 70 kids so top 10% is pretty difficult. but i’m gonna try my best. Someone on the thread for duke ED decisions said they got in with a 3.5 UW. So it is possible.</p>

24

<p>Duke is a match and you should get in there as well as Tufts. Not that it should matter (You’ll get into Duke) but you should also get in everywhere else. Good luck!

<p>@MW2 Yeah well I’m also a legacy and my dad went there for undergrad and law school, so does that help even more?</p>

28

<p>I think you have great EC’s and you have a good chance of getting in everywhere, just raise your SAT or ACT score a little bit and you’ll have no problems.</p>

29

<p>@danders617</p>

<p>Legacy will defintely help but legacy + URM status = win.</p>

30

<p>Thanks Sillystokey! And @MW2 sorry for so many questions haha. but what exactly classifies one as a URM. i’m 50% lebanese and my college counselor told me that makes me Arab-American. Is that a URM?</p>

31

<p>Don’t quote me on this but I’m pretty sure that you are only considered an URM if you are black, hispanic, or native american.</p>

32

<p>“American Indians/Alaskan Natives, African Americans/Blacks, Mexican Americans, and Puerto Ricans are typically considered URM’s.”</p>

<p>Taken from article on URMs. It did say though that it can range on a school by school basis, depending on how race breaks down at the school. So if Duke has zero Lebanese-Americans, and they want one, you will get in. But not likely that you count as URM.</p>

33

<p>Why is it that way. Aren’t Lebanese-Americans more underrepresented than African-Americans?</p>

34

<p>Oh and my weighted GPA would be a 3.9 if everything goes as planned. Does anyone know Duke recalculates to UW?</p>

35

<p>You are not a URM.</p>
