<p>Do you plan on biking in college? If so, none of these schools are out of reach, and even without it princeton chances are high.</p>

3

<p>If you apply to Duke ED and get in, you won’t be applying anywhere else.</p>

4

<p>I plan on riding/racing for the colleges, but cycling is a club sport.</p>

<p>And at the moment, I’m debating whether to apply to Stanford REA or Duke ED, as Stanford has been my dream school since I was little but I think I have a better chance of being accepted to Duke.</p>

5

<p>I would be surprised. Stanford gives a lot of importance to championship level athletes. </p>

<p>Your academics and scores are competitive. Athletics and double legacy should provide the edge.</p>

<p>Also, FWIW, my junior year GPA was a 4.0 unweighted. My only B’s came freshman and sophomore year.</p>
