<p>I'm afraid not being a national merit scholar will hurt my chances. Any ideas on what i should expect at schools like Duke or an Ivy?</p>
<p>we add .08 a semester to gpa for an AP to the regular 4.0 scale. this is what all schools do in at least the region i am from.</p>
<p>Okay, I’m very confused by your weighted GPA, but I think you are a good candidate academically. However, your ECs are very average, there’s no passion or true interest that I can tell from your brief post, so I would say Duke is a maybe, but Ivies are unlikely.</p>
<p>My community service and school club i cofounded is centered around a disease I was diagnosed with a few years back. Is that the right kind of passion?</p>
<p>No, that’s the worst kind of passion. You have no chance anywhere ever. </p>
<p>I’m joking. Stop worrying okay? You’re just as qualified as any qualified person. Although “VERY INVOLVED” is a little ambiguous, and you were way unspecific with your ECs, I can say that acedmically you’re fine.</p>
