<p>I think you have about an average chance. Your gpa is very good, and it looks like your extra curriculars are numerous and you have put a lot of time into them. However, your SAT scores are a bit low for Duke. Did you take the ACT? Make sure your essays convey that you would be a good fit for Duke. Also, what major are you thinking about? Where are you from?</p>
