Chances??

Colleges and Universities A-Z Duke University
1

So I applied ED and with the looming return date, I’m trying to figure out my chances (to ease the stress a little )
So I am basically a triple legacy, both my parents and a brother went to the school
I am a potential walk-on (I have been in contact with the schools head coach)

GPA: UW 3.5 (My school does not weight)
My GPA is low because I struggled my freshman year but since I have had a lot of progress and my grades have improved greatly over time
Though they deemed my schedule to be very rigorous for the past 4 years

ACT:
I got a 34 on the ACTs

ECS;
I have been a three season varsity athlete all four years
I have volunteered with a multiple Environmental organizations since freshman year
I am the leader of serval clubs
I was a sports camp counselor for the past two summers
I have gone on community-serviced based, education trips for the past three summers (Environmental and conservation focused information)
*I have a lot of other ECs but these are the main ones that I highlighted in my application

Subjective:
My essays were deemed very compelling ((not my opinion!)-- but because of subject and structure)
I am very close with those who wrote my recs so I’m assuming they should be very good

It honestly is a crapshoot. It’s really hard to say who’s going to get in and who isn’t. Best of luck to you

I think you have a good chance. Don’t worry too much of your GPA, since the admission officers look at the rigor of your schedule. Your test score shows that you are academically prepared for Duke. You also have a decent ECs. What sport do you play?

Triple legacy with solid ACT score plus ED. I think you have a pretty good shot.
