<p>Any chance you are on the math team? Duke puts a lot of stock in their math team and are always looking for strong candidates.</p>

<p>yeah, 2 years on the math team
but its not one of my major activities</p>

<p>anybody else?</p>

4

<p>You probably have a really good shot at getting into Duke. Just make sure your essays are awesome</p>

5

<p>You don't really stand out for any reason, but your numbers and roundedness are decent, so you're probably in the hunt for admission ED at duke, though its very hard to say...</p>
