Chances-please help soon!

<p>hey,
im a white male from new york city
I go to a private school that does not rank, but have maintained a grade average of 92.0/100.</p>

<p>SATs:</p>

<p>Math: 690
CR: 660
Writing: 710</p>

<p>Total: 1350/2060 - but i am retaking them hoping for 2150 (i will probably reach this goal)</p>

<p>SAT II-Math IC-730</p>

<p>EC's: Varsity BBall-two years
JV BBall-two years
Varsity Soccer: 2 years
Institute for Civic Leadership- 2 years
School Newspaper: 1 year</p>

<p>I am very active socially, and am planning the first of many teen events to raise money for charity in the fall. </p>

<p>I balance my social life, academics, and sports. </p>

<p>Please inform me of my chances of being accepted to Duke. thanks alot.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure you need to take at least one more SAT II also.</p>

<p>given that i dont fairly well on my second sat 2, chances?</p>

<p>Duke actually requires 3 SAT IIs, just FYI.</p>

<p>hmm, i think its 2 SAT IIs.</p>

<p>i think since th SAT1's changed to 3 sections you only need 2 SAT2's....i think. you should check the admission website though for the answer. admissions.duke.edu</p>

<p>regardless-lets say i take two more sat twos and score the same as i did on the one i already took, what are my chances?</p>

<p>Oh, sorry, maybe they have changed the requirements since last year. I guess since both the old and new SATs were accepted last year, they requested 3 subject tests. My mistake!</p>

<p>youve basically got the same stats as me. our test scores are pretty much on par too. white male, nice school, etc....same here.</p>

<p>er, as a white male though, i felt like i had to somehow "stand out" a little bit more....so just do your best to have something a little unorthodox on there and write some good essays. best of luck</p>

<p>you too. anymore input?</p>

<p>Your test scores seem a little low. You should definitely try to bring them up. I found test prep books and a tutor to be extremely helpful. Also, play up your charity work on your app: admissions counselors like it.</p>

<p>Yea, as far as sats go, with the math, i got two of three sections perfect and the other one was an extremely difficult section(i was averaging 760 before the test), so on my next test i should be significantly higher. also, on the writing section, i got every multiple choice question correct, but freaked out on the essay and didnt finish it, so i got a 6 out of 12. on my writing section on the next test, i will have practiced the essay writing and time management skills, and will probably be above 750. As far as CR goes, i have a tutor, so with practice, i will easily be in the range of 2150-2300 overall. that said, all my classes are IB and many higher level, and i made Headmasters List, as well (A average in every class). I am most likely in the top 10% of my class, but am not sure cause my school is competitive, my school does not rank, and i have 70 students in my grade. I was a founding member of the Institute for Civic Leadership, a worldwide organization, i volenteer for Habitat for humaity (building houses for underprivelged children), interned at a medical malpractice lawfirm for 3 years, am an editor for my school newspaper(no one really reads it haha, not even me), and was a camp counseler in training. </p>

<p>regarding social skills, by being socially active in new york city, i have made connections with the children of billion dollar men, celebrities, athletes and more. i am setting up an auction with donations from these connections, to raise money for the Save the Children Foundation. With some of this money, i am also going to set up a club event in the city, and donate all profits to the same organization. </p>

<p>I am also hoping to be my 12th grade class representitive to the faculty at my school as well as a member of the honor counsil. </p>

<p>I left out a lot of information about myself and my life in the last post...</p>
