<p>well, your EC's are really good, but you have to take into account that most of the people applying to Duke would have similar backgrounds. they might even have better test scores. Duke's avg SAT scores are from 690-770 in verbal and 690-780. So, if you can just bring up your SAT score, i think you have a good chance. And lastly, i recommend that you take another SAT II. And if you have AP's, that might look good too.</p>

<p>is your gpa w or uw? also, what school do you go to? depending on what kind of courses they offer, etc. duke might be more willing to accept you since you're a URM. haha, we are actually in pretty much the same boat :)</p>
