<p>Hey guys, I'm debating about if I should ED for Penn or ED for Duke. (Both for SEAS) Really trying to decide, so please help!</p>
<p>The reality is, I knew there are bunch of Chinese kids this year applying from China, and they got great SAT scores, like 2250+ or 2300+ (Not sure if SEAS or CAS or Wharton). Also because of Wharton, I suppose there are a lot of kids interested in Entrepreneurship applying for Penn SEAS.
For Duke, since my school is in the South, so I might have a little regional advantage. Also, Duke has more connections with China.. </p>
<p>Background/ Interest:
I'm interested in Entrepreneurship. Want to major in ME/ CS/ CE + Business, then do Tech-based Start Up in the future. </p>

SAT I (Superscore): 2220 - 670 CR, 790 M, 760 W
SAT II: Taking in November, Physics + Math. Expecting 800 for both.
UW GPA: 3.97/4.0 (A+ is 4.3) (First quarter 3A 2+ not count in the cumulative GPA)
Rank: N/A (Top 2% while in China)
