<p>you mean rising high school senior, I think.</p>

<p>In any case, you have a very good shot at duke. you can take your sat's again if you want but you seem to be in good shape. does duke require 3 sat II's?</p>

<p>The duke website says that they are only requiring 2 SAT IIs for the class of 2006. I did take a third (got a 630 on bio as a freshman) but I'm hoping they won't take that score into consideration. I did mean high school senior by the way.</p>

<p>I think you have an excellent chance at Duke even without the SAT retake...best wishes</p>
