<p>Okay cuz I was just wondering if I need to retake math 2 sat2 just cuz I’m applying to the engineering department</p>

<p>Duke is very selective. Even the best students often get rejected there. A big part of applying there is that you need to have something that really (and i mean really) stand out about you. ECs are up to par, but Duke is not just interested in numbers and what you do. They want to know who you are and why the heck they should select you over other overqualified applicants. Just my .02 cents though, take it what you will.</p>
<p>Umm I wrote my essay about how my brother’s mental condition has impacted me and how much I’ve matured from that(along with the extra responsobilities I’ve picked up since I was 7 years old)</p>
