<p>ONCE AGAIN.</p>

<p>It is impossible to say anything. You do not offer any SAT scores or ACT scores (just projection). What’s your ethnicity? Income? SAT II? Senior course load? All of these factors count towards admissions.</p>

<p>Your GPA seems perfect, you your workload doesn’t look rigorous.</p>

<p>Yeah no ACT/SAT because I just finished my sophomore year? How is that not a rigorous course load? I took two APs as a sophomore and have 3 for my junior year and senior year even more. Plus with band and spanish I get 0 electives plus with playing 3 sports all year who are you to say what I’m doing isn’t “rigorous”?</p>

<p>First of all, it’s not our fault that you don’t have ACT/SAT scores yet. You should have waited a little more to post this, then. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing! But it makes it almost impossible for people here to chance you without these scores. Maybe it’s rigorous course load for you, it’s up to the person and the school you’re applying to. You’re missing my point here. What I am trying to say is that you didn’t post enough information for anyone to chance you. I didn’t mean to offend you.</p>

<p>Duke is need blind, income doesn’t matter. Anyway, you look to be on the right track, do well on the ACT and consider applying early if Duke is your top choice.</p>

<p>Thank you very much. I will be sure to study for the ACT!</p>
