<p>do i still have a slim chance or am i kidding myself?</p>

4.35-4.5 W
2250 SAT
SAT II -750 World History
-780 Biology
-800 Math IIC
-800 Korean
HS in top 50 public in US'
state level honors orchestra

15 AP Classes - Lit, Lang, Bio, Chem, Calc BC, Comp AB, Spanish, World, US, Gov, etc (I only have to send in a few AP scores right?)</p>

<p>I'm still a sophomore but I'm worried because even though I got a 4.0 UW last year, I took an extreme dip this year and I really think that it will hurt my chances.</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Well a negative trend is not a good thing... but as long as you start movin back up junior year and first semester senior year I think you should be perfectly fine. Your course load is hardcore and you are at a competitive school and have a good SAT... so You definately have more than a slim chance.</p>

<p>yes you definitely have a chance</p>

<p>hm.....15 aps and you're still a sophomore.....that's a serious achievement. well, i'd say you're in a great shape, though i'd like see some more leadership ecs. keep it up.</p>

<p>i wish..that's just the projected number by the application time comes.</p>

<p>oh i was about say, you must be a living genius lol.</p>

<p>get a lot of EC's. SAT + GPA won't get you in alone. Duke denied 900 valedictorians and 1000 perfect SAT Math or Verbal students</p>

<p>true that..
EC's help a lot but i dont think it's about the number..
wow those stats are quite frightening and interesting at the same that.</p>

<p>oh i see, michael. that still doesn't make any difference to my previous comment. you have great numbers. now you need ecs to show who you are, not to mention well-crafted essays.</p>
