Chances at Duke and Vanderbilt

<p>I am currently a junior and would like to apply to both these schools. I go to one of the top 5 most prestigious private schools in the US.</p>

<p>Grades Freshman and Sophomore Year were all A's and A-'s in all honors classes</p>

<p>Junior Year:
English B+
History A-
AP Chem B+
Precalc A
French 5 (AP) A-</p>

<p>Senior Year Course Load:
-One more semester of French 5
-AP Physics, AP BIO
-history course required at my school
-AP CALC BC</p>

<p>-My SAT score has been around 2200, but i am hoping to bump that up to 2250
-I am taking SAT II Chem and Math 2 in June</p>

<p>-I am taking the hardest classes in my school and my senior year course load is even harder with 3 AP courses. I am taking the AP USH and AP CHEM exam this year and will probably get 5 on both of them</p>

<p>-EC's:
-Model UN (9,10,11) and will probably be president of it next year
-Peer Tutor (10,11)
-Do a lot of charity work at my synagogue</p>

<p>-Also, i have a sibling at Duke so chance me and i will chance back</p>

<p>Sibling = BIG help in my opion. Prestigious private school probably also works in your favor. I’d say you have a fairly decent chance, though at some point (schools that have lower than a 20% acceptance rate) it is partially luck.</p>
