<p>I didn't know it was that easy to get a 5.0 in 7 Advanced Placement classes.</p>

<p>if you have a duke question, why are you on a yale thread?</p>

<p>oh I'm sorry, I'm incredibly embarrassed I meant Yale, I'm sure I won't get in if I start writing Duke all over Yale applications. my bad. =<</p>

<p>It isn't easy to get a 5.0 I was just speculating (since I usually have straight As) I didn't mean to make it sound easy =)</p>

<p>at the yale level it's very unpredictable, so I would never try to handicap chances for anyone, but you have a strong academic record, other than your SAT I scores. They are low for the Yale pool, as you say, but I believe SAT I scores are less heavily weighted for URMs, and your grades and APs and SAT IIs are in the zone. So I would focus on your remaining SAT IIs, and presenting your ECs strongly to show you have passion and enthusiasm for what you do.</p>
