<p>Applying to.. Trinity, I presume?</p>

<p>Your rank is fabulous. I love it, love love love it.</p>

<p>Your ACT puts you smack in their average. Pretty nice.</p>

<p>How were your essays/recs?</p>

<p>Me= Ed as well.
:)</p>

<p>Trinity of course. I highly doubt I'd see an acceptance letter if I was engineering. Hooray for ED! Essay were pretty good. My 2-3 page was on dance, because it's just me, and real "passion." Recs were good also. I have a killer counselor rec, but it's not like counselors write bad ones. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>Yes, your grades are very good, the question is just whether or not Duke will be impressed by your dance. Since your other ECs are average, it seems to me that your application really hinges on your dancing. If your essay really came out well, that could put you over the top. If they're not impressed by the essay and just simply not moved, you could be deferred. High rank alone won't wow an admissions office like duke, though of course it is pretty much a prerequisite. Good luck.</p>
