(Top 12 Percentile). I have taken all honors and Ap courses since the ninth grade. I take the Act next week however my estimated Act score was a 26-28.Sat-At least an 1800 unweighted-3.5 i think. Weighted 4.3 i currently dont know my uw but the last time i checked it was a 3.5-3.6. Instruments-Timpani,snare,Mallets,auxiliary.(basically all percussion instruments). I do hold a leadership position in the band however i am looking to add more.

I am also in a percussion ensemble, and i my classes are of the hardest rigor available at my school. Chance Me please(I chance back).Thanks</p>
<p>For Duke you are definitely going to want to get your test scores up. On the collegeboard site Duke’s mid range ACT is 30-34. Your rank is a little low also, but maybe you go to a completive school. Remember, you need to make yourself stand out from everyone else who is applying. Show them that you are more than just test scores and grades.</p>
<p>Just as long as you have a 2200+ or 32+, you’re as good as in. You’re an intelligent, passionate, gifted URM. What more could Duke ask for?</p>

<p>You need to fight to get into the top 10%, that’s a must! Then work on the scores.</p>
