I need a safety...

<p>Duke will definitely look at your school's profile and note the AP courses that are offered, then take that into consideration. They are certainly interested in applicants challenging themselves, and rate their courseload accordingly.</p>

<p>It seems to me that if you are strong in Math (you indicated that you had scored 800 on practice tests) you should take the SATII Math IIC.</p>

<p>Also, as far as safeties go, UVA and William & Mary, while not exactly safeties for someone from out-of-state, are possibly a bit easier than UNC because they have been taking up to 1/3 of their class from OOS.</p>

<p>Good luck--our S is thrilled to be starting at Duke!</p>
