<p>What do you think my chances are? Thank you very much for your time, and I truly appreciate your help!</p>
<p>It will probably depend on where in NC you live. If you live in a rural town, then you have a good shot, but if you live near Charlotte or Raleigh, it might not be so easy. How well has your school or surrounding area done with getting kids into Duke?</p>
<p>I do not know of anyone from my school that has ever gone to Duke. A few have gone to Notre Dame, while most of the top students have gone to UNC, Davidson, etc. However, a few students in the past few years have attended Duke from my area. (I live in Alamance County for those familiar with NC) Thanks again for everything.</p>
<p>I think you have a fairly good shot at Duke, esp with ED. Just wondering, I thought Duke requires you to take the SAT 2s. Have you taken them yet? If not I would think that perhaps you should apply RD, esp. since taking the SAT 2s is a pre-requisite, and high SAT2 scores might help make up for your SAT1 score. Otherwise, you've got pretty fine ECs, GPA and rank. Looks good to me! :)</p>
<p>ummm ... SAT II's are only required if you take the SAT I. if you take the ACT then they are not. Believe me, i looked into it. im applying early to duke also =)</p>
<p>Erm, well, her SAT score is higher than the ACT equivalent.
I don't think she wants to send that 28 ACT. That's in their bottom 25%.
I think she needs the II's. </p>
<p>Have you taken any, babe? Those could help!</p>
<p>Every year, they reject amazingly brilliant, involved kids with 1500+ scores and crazy everything else. It's so competitive. I think I have a 99% shot at getting deferred at that school. It's crazy.</p>
<p>I really have no plans of taking SAT IIs but my ACT score should come up some. I am waiting for my results now for my second testing. Thanks again to everyone. Anybody/anything else???</p>
<p>right now you have a pretty good shot, considering your SAT scores and your well-rounded extra-curricular activities. I would try to raise the SAT score to increase your chances; try to get at least in the mid 1400's. Even without it, you have a solid chance, but you can improve your chances.
Please reply to my thread if you can...Duke, Cornell, NYu Stern chances under the name Kingz. thnks</p>
<p>The university is required to save so many places for NC residents. It is easier to get in to Duke as a state resident than an out-of-stater. Couple that with an ED application and good stats, and your chances look pretty good.</p>
