Duke Chances

<p>I'm only a junior in HS, but Duke is my dream school. (I've wanted to go there since I was in second grade.) I'm attending the Discover Duke program in my are in October, so I just got curious. What do you think so far?</p>

<p>-No SAT yet. I plan on taking it in March, but I got a 196 on the PSAT as a sophomore w/o any studying.
-700 SAT II Biology (as a freshman)
-760 SAT II Chemistry (as a sophomore)
-I plan on taking one to three more SAT IIs this year.
-98 avg. in all honors/AP/accelerated classes
-top 5% of a very competitive Catholic high school in NJ
-3 APs (2 this year, 1 last year)
-probably 5 APs next year as well
-over 130 hrs. community service right now
-definitely have very good recs coming (two Duke alum)
-varisty basketball manager every year (something I plan on mentioning continuing at Duke)
-varisty soccer
-many other ECs (NHS, SNHS, both this year, among others)
-NYLF</p>

<p>I plan on applying ED.
Anything else i should mention? Any tips in the admissions process? I know I'm still very early on in the process, and it's hard to tell without an SAT score.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>are you good enough at soccer to get recruited? Honestly, if Duke is your DREAM school, and you would do anything to get in, sports are always the easiest way!</p>

<p>unless you can get recruited for athletics, shoot for 2150+ on your SATs, higher if possible. duke has a reputation for being one of the more stat-based top schools.</p>
