<p>you have an ok chance. the 25-75% sat range for duke's engineering (pratt) is 1450-1550, so your score is ok, but still below average.
your rank isn't anything spectacular, have you taken any sat IIs? duke requires those. what types of volunteer work do you do? if it's something really meaningful then it could obviously help a lot.
i'm really not sure of how they'll look at you graduating a year early, it could show that you're "motivated" or it could somehow work against you. I'd give you a 50-60% chance, take it for what it's worth (admittedly not much)</p>
