Chances at Vandy

<p>Hello everybody. I was wondering what are my chances at duke??</p>

<p>3.45 uw g.p.a. 3.83w g.p.a</p>

<p>1210 SAT
610 math IC, 550 Writing, 590 U.S History
Top 18%

african american male</p>

<p>i have also taken 10 honors courses and 3 AP courses. Including Physics, Gov, and U.S. HIstory</p>

<p>Why is this on the Vandy thread? You're asking about Duke.</p>

<p>Your chances at both schools are limited, but not nonexistent. Good luck. Let us know-- I'm curious.</p>

<p>Put effort into your essays; I'd say you have a 40% shot with the URM</p>

<p>Well, about your chances at Duke...they recieved a super-competitive huge applicant pool this year, so their standards have gone up. (18000 RD applicants for an incoming class of 1640 (including ED kids)...)</p>

<p>realistically, your chances are not that great. Your SAT needs to be at least 1250+ for you to even have a semi-decent shot. You also really need to be in the top ten percent of your class, considering about 70-80% of accepted students to those schools are.</p>
