<p>I think you have a good chance. But don't quote me on that.</p>

<p>I'm Indian as well! Good luck!</p>

<p>Your stats are strong, so you have a pretty good chance of getting in. A classmate of mine whose stats weren't as good as yours but was highly involved outside of class was put on Duke's waiting list last year, but she was evetually accepted off of the waiting list. So I'd think that you have a good shot at getting in.</p>

<p>wow...... i wish my scores were as good as yours.... i think you'll definitely get in.. and you can quote me on that</p>
