Hi there. I am an 17 year old senior. I just want to know from other people, not from people I know, what are my chances into getting into schools such as Duke and Chapel Hill. They are very competitive and up there. My SAT is an 1120 but Im taking it over and my ACT is 22 but Im taking it over also. My GPA is a 4.4. I do a lot of volunteering and am an officer for National Honor society. I also dance. And I’m indian. So, what are my chances?
With those test scores Duke and Chapel Hill are out of reach.
Your chances are very low unless you can pull up your test scores.
To me, your chances seem extremely slim for UNC and Duke. This is unless you can pull up your SAT/ACT to at least 1420/31ish- to have a shot at UNC. For Duke, which is extremely competitive, you will need 1500/33 at least to have a realistic shot. Your GPA looks good for both schools, but your ECs are average- which is why you’ll probably need above average test scores for each school to get in.
With a 22 they’ll burn your app. You need to bring that up at least 10 points for duke. UNC won’t necessarily get rid of it immediately, but it’ll tank your chances
