Do you think I have a chance at getting into either Georgia Tech or Duke?

<p>Ok so Im a black female pursuing a civil engineering degree. Im a senior in high school and I'll try to keep this brief.</p>

<p>SAT 2010
ACT : Awaiting scores but im guessing around a 30</p>

<p>GPA W: 4.265 UW: 3.96
(my school does +.5 for honors and +1 for APs</p>

<p>I've already recieved a $40,000 merit scholarship from Clemson</p>

<p>Im around the top 5% in a class of 513. Probably closer to 3%</p>

<p>Honors classes
Biology
Alegbra I and II
World history
English(all 4 years)
Geometry
Precalculus
Physics</p>

<p>AP classes
World History
US History
Government
Physics C
Environmental Science
Micro and Macro Economics
Calculus BC</p>

<p>I have TONS of extracurriculurs but here are some leadership positions
3years of volleyball (captain)
Black Student Union (Founder and Officer)
Model United Nations (Officer)
Math Honor Society (Officer)</p>

<p>I've also been a volunteer volleyball coach for 3 years and I had an internship this summer.</p>

<p>I know Duke is a reach but their civil engineering program is really small (due to lack of interest not competitiveness) and I was hoping that could give me a leg up. Also being an URM but I dont think it will make a huge difference.</p>

<p>Duke is a reach for anyone, but you seem to be in good shape :slight_smile: I’d say you have an awesome chance at Georgia Tech.</p>

<p>Please bump your old posts.</p>

<p>Oh ok Im near hear. I wasnt really sure how all that worked</p>
