<p>The time has finally come for me to apply to my dream school, DUKE <3 Hopefully my college application process will end in triumph and joyous disbelief rather than bitter disappointment.</p>
<p>I want to know whether or not you think I have a chance at Duke ED. Please be truthful and blunt, as I want to have an idea of what to expect- so I can prepare myself for the impending admission or rejection letter I'm going to receive. Thanks for reading! :)</p>

<p>Since freshmen year up till now the only on-level courses I will have taken would be physics and US history. I have gotten A's and B's in the rest of my classes. I think my uw gpa is ~3.85. My rank is probably in top 10% from a class of ~390...although I may have dropped to 11-12% :(</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: Beta Club, Key Club, Math Team, Science Olympiad, HOSA, 121 Reach (tutoring), NHS, National Spanish Honor Society, Spanish Club</p>
<p>As far as leadership goes, nothing special. Math Team VP, Beta Club volunteer coordinator, Math team secretary....I don't have much volunteer or awards either :( but I took the initiative to get my school Beta Clun involved with a food bank to donate food and school supplies.</p>
<p>I also teach swim and Chinese to younger kids. I guess in a way I'm self employed. Teaching has really taught me a lot though and it's something I love doing- whether it's school related tutoring, Chinese lessons, swim, or piano...it's all fun for me! </p>
<p>OH I was on my schools literary magazine staff ( I was an editor). I was also in class council one yr..as well as the orchestra's fiddle group but I left after 9th grade.</p>
<p>I think that's about it! So tell me what you think~ all opinions are appreciated :D thank you so muchhhh. </p>
<p>Does anyone have advice on how to ace the essays? Lol! I heard they could really help with admission if they're really unique and genuine..but how do I do that D:</p>
