<p>You have a decent shot, as do others with similar stats. You already know that some with your stats will get in and some won't.</p>

<p>So.....your essays and recs will be what make the difference.</p>

<p>you are an average applicant for duke. the sat scores you have are right on par, like mafool said, make those recs good. maybe applying regular decision so you have more time to do so wouldn't hurt.</p>

<p>I'm in deep ***** guys...my quarter grades are in the toilet...not good.</p>

<p>On the bright side, my essays (I can honestly say this) are dynamite...I've polished those bad boys for weeks, and had numerous people look them over. Also, both my teacher recs are shining. </p>

<p>I guess it's all luck now. Damn quarter grades.</p>
