Rejected!! But hopefully this is useful information.
Decision Plan: Regular
Major: Physics and Child Policy Research Certificate
OBJECTIVE:
-Unweighted GPA: 3.98 / 4
-Weighted GPA: 4.58 / 5
-That is about half my classes as honors or AP. All As except one B sophomore year.
-6 AP. 14 honors.
-My school does not rank, but I know that I am right around 65 of my class of 720.
-ACT: 36 (36, 36, 34, 36) One sitting.
-SAT II: None.
-AP Exams: Junior year was United States History (5), English Language (5) and Music Theory (5). Senior year will be Environmental Science, Psychology and Calculus AB.
-From large public school in a rather well-off community in suburban Midwest. Sends lots of students to top 30 schools and the likes. Female, white.
EXTRACURRICULARS:
-Top musician in state on my instrument, invited to state music education conference for two years in a row, honors ensembles both times. Played at regionals for three years, upward trend.
-Help out some of my teachers during my free period. I teach underclassmen, and I think I mentioned in my application that I want to go into education.
-Marching band section leader for three years, did marching band for four years, top concert band and orchestra for three years. Pit orchestra for three years.
-Two-time Camp NaNoWriMo winner. Wrote a novel in a month.
-No employment.
HONORS:
-National Honors Society, state commended, Top Scholar at school, AP Scholar, etc.
-Outstanding achievement in Spanish and physics junior year.
LETTERS:
-One letter of recommendation from United States History teacher. Could have been okay, or good, as she’s a strong writer but didn’t know me that well. (7/10)
-Other letter from my Spanish teacher who adored me! (9/10)
-Counselor was vouching for me. She’s also very articulate in her writing. (8/10)
ESSAYS:
-Common App essay was about regional and state music as mentioned above, about learning from mistakes/failure. It sounds a lot like a cliché “sports injury” story, except about dropping my instrument. (8/10)
-Supplements were “Why Duke,” and I explained how I would be a part of the music community. Also I showed interest for the research certificate. I decided to do the optional “community” one, and you can guess what I wrote about… (hint: band!) (7/10)
Why I think I didn’t get in: A 36 guarantees nothing. Duke already took an athlete and two girls ED, one of them an orchestra student. Subject tests might have helped. And more variety in extracurriculars, too. It’s okay, I am pretty much decided on where I’m going to school next year. 
Congratulations if you got in, and good luck in the college search to everybody else!!
