<p>What state do you live in?</p>

<p>Pretty much all aspects of your application are not at where they need to be for Duke. It, along with Brown, are out of reach; you EDing there will almost definitely be a waste. Hopkins, Northwestern and Tufts are more appropriate reaches, and you should be fine at the rest of the schools on your list.</p>

<p>NJ and thanks, i’ll just do the ED for Hopkins instead.</p>

<p>I’m new to this forum & am exploring the posts. What does “ED” stand for? Thx!</p>

<p>early decision, welcome, im new too :D</p>

<p>Your ACT is around 120 points stronger (roughly equivalent to a 2180). I’d send that in instead of the ACT.</p>

<p>I would say because of your ACT scores, matches to all except Brown and maybe Duke ED, since you dont list your EC’s, your class rank, I can’t really tell how good you are in relation to other people in your area.</p>
