<p>I think you have a decent shot. You need to bring up your ACT though, a 30 probably won’t cut it. Take it again in September and shoot for 32+, hopefully 33+. If you really like Duke, apply ED and it will really help your chances.</p>
<p>If you are interested in engineering, apply Pratt. If you are REALLY interested in Pratt, apply ED. raise your ACT, ideally, get that math 34+. But otherwise, you have a good shot!</p>
<p>So are u doing ED or RD?</p>
