I am a senior high school(female) and I want to apply to Duke. My SAT scores are 1580 and my ACT score is 34. I have an 85 gpa. I am on the track team and my times and distances are 300m: 39, 600m:1:38,1 000m:3:00, and shotput:40ft. My extracurricular activities are NAACP vice president(2 years), Key Club Vice president (1 year), Girls scouts(3 years), Varsity outdoor track and field (3 years), Varsity cross-country(2 years), Varsity winter track(2 years),Club track and field(4 years), and Piano lessons (5 years). i would like to know what my chances are of getting into Duke?
Have you already applied ED? Or are you thinking about applying RD? There’s a big difference between the two admit rates so it’d be helpful to know. Your ECs are kinda generic but your stats seem good. I’m not sure about your gpa because I’ve never heard of an 85 before, but all schools are different so I wouldn’t know.
They’re not really going to care about your times unless you’re running for them. 85/100 scale is far below dukes threshold. I recommend stressing things that make your stick out, URM, 1st gen, etc
