<p>Hiiiii… so out of all the current Duke students/graduated kids from my school that I’ve talked to. You can a decent chance, but at this level where your grades are very high and your ECs are great, but not AMAZING (like hypsm level), it honestly is just a crapshoot. So hopefully your essay is amazing. :slight_smile:
Good luck to both on us!</p>

<p>Hey it looks like you are very similar to me, with some test score deviations. Hopefully we both have a shot!</p>

<p>Chance me if you could:</p>
