<p>Easy, you will almost surely get into nearly all of these, Duke being the only question mark. Tulane will almost surely offer you a nice merit scholarship. Apply EA by early October and you will get an answer within a few weeks, probably.</p>

<p>^ agree with Fallen.</p>

<p>Duke is about a 10-15% shot, depending upon a lot of variables that are not in your post. both GPA’s are probably in the bottom 25% for Duke, while ACT is about at the midpoint. The small delta between UW and W GPA suggests you have taken only one or two APs thus far… a not good indication of your desire for academic rigor… unless those APs are scarce at your HS.</p>

<p>UPS is looking very random in that list… Why was that school one of your picks?</p>

<p>GPA is a bit low for UCSB (generally it needs to be around 4.0) but ACT might make up for it.</p>

<p>wouldnt exactly say that duke is the only ?. Wake is a very difficult school to get into… I would say that you at least have a shot at most of them</p>
