<p>i know about the ED vs EA, but I will probably apply EA to Chicago as a back-up if I don't get into Duke. As for the other person, I guess from my feedback, you would be in good shape. Yoour SATs are kinda low for Duke though. Try to get your Verbal up to around 720. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Yes, I am well aware I can only apply ED to one school. The advice I was looking for was which school I should apply early decision to. My problem is that Duke is my number 1 school, however, I am not sure if my chances would that great. If I were to apply ED to UVA instead, my chances would go up as opposed to DUKE. So now that I have clarified this, can anyone offer advice based on my resume listed in POST 19!!!!!</p>

<p>No, I was commenting about ED vs ES to another previous replyer. If you really like Duke, apply ED, even if you think you can have a better chance at UVA.</p>

<p>your EC's are very weak. but i've known many ppl to get in with weak EC's.</p>

<p>really, you think my ECs are weak? I figure with 3 Varsity sports, Marching Band, volunteering, and miniture painting awards, they would be reasonably strong. Maybe you know people with unbelievable E.Cs...</p>

<p>i do know many such individuals.</p>

<p>I see... any ideas about how I could improve them to make them better?</p>

<p>Build a building...or save a baby from a burning building (but make sure the burning building wasn't your building, your building should be indestructable). If you became a Jedi that could help too.</p>

<p>Sorry, I had to throw in a joke, I personally think your ECs are good enough.</p>

<p>well. if u get recruited for any of those three sports that'd be pretty sweet.</p>

<p>I doubt I will, there are kids I know that are better than me.</p>

<p>well honestly that's the thing. they give u props for doing those sports. but ultimately they dont really care as in...they dont need you for those sports. u know what i mean?</p>

<p>

You can't. By the time you find out if you made it into Duke ED, the Chicago EA deadline will be past.</p>

<p>Really? I thought you could apply ED to only one school, but you could apply EA to as many as you wanted.</p>
