<p>Despite itsme’s comment, I feel you have as good of a chance as anybody else. Your scores are very good, your grades are nice (especially your recent ones), and you have completed a rigorous schedule. I really like your ECs as well. Duke is hard for anyone, but I think you’re a great candidate.</p>
