Chances for Duke and others...

<p>I don’t see much of a problem for any of the universities on the list except for Duke. I will highlight a couple of problems:</p>

<ol>
<li>Your SAT is too low - bring it up to about 2100.</li>
<li>Your rank is kind of low - hope that your school doesn’t send in rank, only weighted GPA</li>
<li>Get 750+ in Maths II and Physics SAT Subject Tests</li>
<li>Either get more leadership or make yourself standout in terms of extracurriculars.</li>
</ol>

<p>On the whole, there is still time to bring your rank up to say top 10% of the class, and bring up your GPA. I would say Duke is a high reach at this point in time, but if you do the above it will become a low reach, in my opinion.</p>
