<p>My son got a 35 ACT score ( 36 if superscored) & a 2240 SAT. Do you guys think we should submit both? According to the SAT-ACT conversion chart, a 35 ACT looks better than a 2240 SAT. He is planning to apply for Duke ED. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>what are his SAT IIs, and he missed the ED interview deadline already, which really helps the adcom know the applicant</p>
<p>His SAT IIs are Math 800, Chem. 780, Physc.760. His ranking is 2% (No.4 out of 297 in a public school)
He made the late decision applying Duke. That is why he didn’t make to the Oct. 16 deadline. Well, the information seminar we went stated only 40% applicants get interviewed. Mostly the interview is for publicity purpose…</p>
<p>Yet the acceptance rate is under 30% and the interview isn’t just for publicity or they wouldn’t do it, they score you on it and if you get a 4 or 5 /5 it really helps according to Duke Alumni. Just saying. He has good scores though, but there is a lot more to the application than that.</p>
<p>Thanks for all your inputs. My son is kind of layback & alway does things the last minute. At this point, we won’t get any interview chance. He needs to work hard on the essay and see what happens.</p>
