<p>I, too, am a National Debater, and I can tell you that debate looks awesome on college apps. That said, your biggest concern might end up being your ACT score. I’d say that, as of now, you look to be a reach for Duke. If you can break 32 on the ACT, then I’d say you’re about a Low Reach, and if you can muster a 34 or higher, then it becomes a high match.</p>

<p>^I agree. Once you get a slightly higher ACT score, you’ll be an extremely competitive applicant :)</p>
