<p>Try the SAT. A 30 ACT is pretty weak.</p>

<p>For Duke’s standards its on the lower end, try to aim for the 33/34 (well obviously 35/36 is better). How interested are you in Duke?</p>

<p>i got in with a 31 ACT so if the rest of your application shines then I wouldn’t worry about it too much. That being said, retaking it and aiming for a higher score or taking a jab at the SAT couldn’t hurt.</p>
