<p>I would be careful with what frenchhorngirl said- there were some very unhappy kids at our school this year that thought that schools should overlook their low gpa. I agree that you have a lot going for you…make sure that you really focus on the first semester grades they will be very important, Your course load should help up your gpa. It’s easy to fall in love with Duke it is a great school. You will go to a great school if you keep up your hard work so relax about that.</p>
