<p>Duke ED.
4.6 W GPA, and 3.895 UW.
easily Top 4%. 2100 SAT.
subj: 800,790,780,730</p>
<p>do you think they differed me because of my 12th grade 1 quarter report, which had a D+?
my teacher gave out 4 assignments, graded harshly, and based our 1st quarter grade on it. </p>
<p>would resending the semester transcript help me? (it will probably be a B)</p>
<p>and, is this actually good news? not being rejected with a D+?</p>
<p>You should probably send the semester transcript anyway since IIRC it’s required. </p>
<p>As for the D+, did you ever have an alumni interview? If so, did that ever come up? Or did you ever get the chance to explain any portions of your app that you felt needed more context? </p>
<p>If you did explain it then your explanation was taken into consideration. </p>
<p>If not, you could possibly try to write an explanation letter and send it in. Just don’t sound too whiny about it (phrasing it like your did in the OP is definitely not a good idea). </p>
<p>Otherwise, you can try writing a letter of intent of sorts sometime in the spring before the decisions come out if you are absolutely positive you want to go to Duke.</p>
<p>bump!!!
and thanks for replying.</p>
