<p>Any SAT Reasoning Test scores? The 32 ACT should be sufficient on its own, but Duke won't look at your subject tests if you don't have reasoning test scores.</p>

3

<p>umm why not?</p>

4

<p>Because they'll only consider SAT I+SAT II scores, OR ACT with writing scores.</p>

5

<p>Wrong; you can submit SAT I + II or ACT; if you submit ACT, you merely don't need SAT II.</p>

<p>They will look at ACT + Subject II or SAT I + Subject II</p>

6

<p>they wil look at what you send in, so yeah they'll look at your SAT II and you don't need the reasoning. you look like a great candidate, academically, and plus your athletics may give you a little hook</p>

7

<p>is 32 ACT high enough for duke?</p>

8

<p>BUMP.</p>

<p>I was wondering the same...I have a 32 and even though it seems like a good score, I feel like it's on the low end for Duke applicants.</p>

<p>Anybody have any input?</p>

<p>I really like you.</p>

<p>32 will not necessarily help you in your admission, but it almost definitely will not bring you down. it's within the average duke's students</p>
