I can’t chance you because there is so much to you application that I don’t know.

What is your unweighted GPA, core courses only?

Are both Duke and BC affordable, per their net price calculators?

ED to Duke if it is your first choice school as your numbers are strong.

Usually there is little or no difference for unhooked applicants between ED1 and ED2, so if Duke is your first choice it makes sense to ED there, and then you can ED2 to BC if Duke does not admit you.

Your numbers are in range for Duke.

My unweighted is a 3.79. I hadn’t taken any aps before senior year and first semester senior year I took all APs. 4.7 weighted which is an A- avg for APs. For ECs I am a rock and mountain climber, and I am designing a prosthetic leg for disabled and amputated rock climbers. I am a dedicated trumpet player and I routinely volunteer at a local music for underprivileged kids program in my area as well as go to NOLA every year to play music and do service down there. I was captain of the crew team2 years and play football as well. I am in the investment club. My other ECs are just hobbies.

Did you apply ED to Duke?

No, to BC. Do you think I have a chance?

Sure, you’re in range. Always hard to tell with % intakes, and I’m not sure what weight BC gives to hooked students in ED, but you surely have a chance. Good luck, please update us on the outcome!

Ok, thanks and I will.

Given your musical inclination and time in New Orleans, did you apply to Tulane?

Yes EA

I’m so nervous to hear back I just really want to get in

I got deferred. Idk what to do
