<p>I am deciding to apply early desicion at either Cornell or Duke. My sister went to Cornell. I will probably major in Biochemistry (maybe pre-med) with a minor in French. What do you think my chances are? My teachers will write good recommendations. I think I have good essays. And I'll do well in an interview. I really love both schools. I just want to get into one. Help!</p>

<p>Your SAT is decent, but not spectacular. Getting it above 2200 would probably help a bit. Also, your SAT II scores are weak. If possible, try retaking. EC’s are average. Nothing really stands out, but they’re not particularly bad. If you have great essays and recs, I think you have an average chance to get in, which is relatively low when you think about their admissions rate. Good luck.</p>

<p>Is your GPA weighted? What is your unweighted GPA?</p>

<p>@dragonflygarden I think if it’s over 4.0 it has to be weighted. In my experience, unweighted never goes above 4</p>

5

<p>Some schools go up to 4.33 for A+. if it is weighted it seems low.</p>

6

<p>yeah especially with 7 aps</p>

<p>yeah, the GPA is weighted. unweighted my GPA would be like a 3.9. I am retaking the standardized tests to hopefully get some improvement in that area.</p>
