dreams of duke

<p>my sat score was far less than spectacular. Shooting for a perfect score and answering every question, i scored <2000. </p>

<p>other than that, i've gotten 2 5s, 3 4s, and 1 3 on APs. </p>

<p>again, my ECs are not even notable: founder/president of a church organization aimed to extinguish any future traces of vandalism around the premises, VC for special ed aid, community service comm. for interact, 1st place local comp for science fair in physics, but 2nd the next year in earth science, and in sci oly, 1st, 2nd, and 6th places for regional and 3rd and 5th medal'd at states (highest at school), highest score on a single subject for acadec in my school (speech), mock trial, varsity debate freshmen year, and tennis (1st in a norcal tournament, 2nd twice, and 3rd twice). </p>

<p>my gpa is faaaaaaaaar from great. i think i barely cracked the top 10 (of 685) in my graduating class just last semester thanks to weighted, but unweighted, i'm not so sure. </p>

<p>one good thing: my science fair advisor is infamous among top universities and his SF students are almost guaranteed admission. </p>

<p>any blue devils out there willing to console my anxieties, thanks in advance</p>
