<p>If I were you, I'd be looking very closely at the UC schools, not that you have a bad chance at Duke, though</p>

<p>im looking at them, but id rather not take that route. truth is, i really really wanna get out of california right now. i need a change of scenery. a MASSIVE change. and uc's are too big for me, i feel like id get lost easily.</p>

<p>pretty good shot, i say. good scores the critical reading is a little bit down but they may counter it with the fact that you are speak French (is english your first or second language?) </p>

<p>i'm not sure what major you're looking at but if it's bio then the math ACT score might be a little low.</p>

<p>but definitely a decent chance</p>
