Chances for Duke, Penn Georgetown?

Chance Me / Match Me!

Hi! I am a junior starting to consider what colleges to apply to in the fall and of all the ones I have toured, Duke, Penn, and Georgetown are my favorites. However, these schools are all pretty selective and I would love any feedback on if these schools are possibilities/if I should apply ED/ any other schools I should consider looking at! Btw, I’m pretty sure about being pre-med!

Are you applying Trinity or Pratt? How involved in DAA are your parents?

Your stats are great! I’m sure that you’ll get into at least one top school, specially considering that you are a double legacy at Duke. I would recommend that you apply to more schools than those three just so that you can maximize your possibilities, of acceptance as well as of financial aid, and who knows, maybe you change your mind and end up wanting to attend another school. One last thing, beware of senioritis next year, a person with your profile is likely not to have a problem with that but just keep it in mind. Good luck! I’m a college freshman looking to transfer to Georgetown as a junior.
