<p>Volunteer work w/ city of Burnsville and kids n' kinship. Wrote essay on how a passion when I was young directed me towards volunteer work when I was older.</p>
<p>I don't really have a hook but I'm not sure how competitive Duke is for out of state compared to other top schools. Be honest w/ me please.</p>
<p>I'd say you are in. We have the EXACT same ACT, SAT, and SATII Math scores, while you have a few more AP's than me. My school doesn't rank, but I definitely wouldn't be first, (but my school is supercompetitive..). I did have a strange hook, but you're ECs are pretty strong so i wouldn't worry much. </p>
<p>you never know if the college admissions process cuz its really random. But you have an extremely extremely good shot of getting it. I am an indian male with extremely similar stats from a middle class suburbia and I'm a freshman at duke now. Good luck...i hope to be seeing you around duke...and my gut feeling is that I will be seeing you around duke</p>
<p>This is completely pointless. Seriously, why even post your stats here, so everyone can fawn over you? After posting near perfect stats, what do you expect people to say? "Well...you only received 5's on your AP exams, maybe you should have mixed in a four, maybe some threes for a little variety. You know, spice things up a bit." I mean, come on.</p>
<p>Also, even though these stats do not guarantee your admission in the least, giving the CC forum only perfect stats to work with is completely frivolous and even somewhat vein. Let me put it this way, there's no way you'd be rejected because of these stats. But who knows about all the other factors the admission committee will be taking into account? No one.</p>
