<p>Your application is very well-rounded, but without a substantial hook or extraordinary ECs, Duke and Wharton will both be big reaches. AEM at Cornell will be a bit easier, but a reach nonetheless. NU should be a high match, though.</p>

<p>thanks for your feedback
isnt duke ed like 35-40% acceptance, so ill benefit from it probably
and i forgot to mention my school is well known at penn (penn accepts 8-10 per year), so i
think thatll improve my chances
i also went to cornell for summer, so i think i have a higher chance there too than other applicants
i also forgot to add that one recommendation will be great and the other will be solid. One from my Ap calc and the other from my Ap stats. Im also hoping my essays will make the difference</p>

<p>I don’t believe Duke will be a <em>huge</em> reach, but it is a reach. Duke ED last year was only 30%. RD was quite low too.</p>
