im working on the supplemental essays but just wondering my chances for class of 2023 :slight_smile:

Not a great shot, but definitely try, as your EC;s are pretty generic and your stats are Okay. if you have great essays then I’m sure you will have a great shot but I can’t entirely say

Depends on UW GPA and recs but definitely have a chance

Definitely make your essays stand out bc your stats and EC’s are pretty generic. Duke prizes themselves on creating an interesting class…really looking for hooks

tbh not a great shot. ur ACT is below average and your EC’s are really generic. sorry to be harsh, but im trying to be as realistic as possible

GPA looks fine unless your school is largely noncompetitive. You might want to retake ACT and maybe SAT if you can. Duke likes students who are 1500+ on SAT and 34+ on ACT. It also seems like you spend a lot of time on volunteering in general but doesn’t quite hit the nail on one particular field. Overall, Duke is going to be a high reach unless you have other hooks (e.g. alumni parents, URM, special circumstances) and really really good essays.
