<p>good recs, one really good, one good.</p>
<p>chances?</p>
<p>p.s. i wnt to major in econ, do you think the AO's will take good recs and ap scores into consideration?</p>
<p>The admissions office will certainly consider your teacher recs and AP scores - I'm not sure what that has to do with your major.</p>
<p>But econ at Duke is pretty spectacular. I've loved it.</p>
<p>PS: How do kids these days seem to know what their recs say? Is that becoming standard practice?</p>
<p>I think you have a decent shot. Your ECs are hard-hitting. SATs are alright. GPA a tad low, who knows.</p>
<p>you got a 2120 not a 2230, or am I missing something?</p>
<p>I know what most of my teacher rec's were. In general, they give them to me to read over, photocopy (I have a copy of all mine except one). I sent in all my teacher rec's myself.</p>
<p>The only exception was my APUSH teacher's rec in Brown. He sealed it himself and gave it to me.</p>
