<p>I'm not an admissions guru by any means, but I think your chances are pretty good. 7/318 Class Rank and extracurriculars are solid. SAT is probably average to slightly below average for Wake, but you make up for it in other categories. </p>

<p>Don't see you getting into Duke, but hey... it's worth a try. You should get into your other three choices though. Also, be sure to do a really good job on your essays. Judging by your SAT scores, it seems like English/Writing is your forte, so flaunt your skills. Make it memorable.</p>

<p>Do you have a favorite school?</p>

4

<p>Yeah, Duke is probably not reasonable. You are on the low end for SAT's for Wake, but regardless you have a good shot. State and Carolina should be safe bets.</p>

<p>thanks i realize my SATs are low but I REALLY do NOT want to retake it. I don't know if that sounds unreasonable but I absolutely despise the test and since Carolina is probably my #1 choice(favorite school) I don't really know that I should waste any more money or time on the SAT.</p>
