<p>It didn’t post the first part for some reason:
Hi, I’m going into my junior year of high school and I would really like to go to Duke after I graduate, as college applications are coming up I am curious about how good mine looks and what my chances are. I have 2 years left of high school and I’m curious what other things I could add to my accomplishments so I can get accepted to Duke and even shoot for scholarships like the A.B or Robertson, any advice and tips are helpful here’s what I have so far</p>

<p>Hmmm, everything’s good but you don’t have your standardized test scores yet. Duke is a reach for anybody but to have the best chances for you aim for around a 2200 on SAT’s or a 32 on ACT. Also really try to convey your passion through your essays, I guess that would be something about the military or navy for you? I mean since you have all that ROTC stuff which is good, it stands out a little bit. Your GPA is good as well but as always work for that 4.0 next year but all you have to do is keep that GPA. So as long as you do well next year and really convey your passion for one thing I think you have good chances. I mean again its a reach for anybody but you are definitely a good potential applicant. Also if FA is not an issue, apply ED as it will boost your chances. </p>
