<p>alright, i've heard different answers about Duke so I'm gonna lay it out here... what are my chances? i'm chinese by the way, which sucks because theres too many smart asians... i'm still a junior and I have yet to take SAT's even though i've taken many practice ones</p>

There is no weighted.
Total of 6 APs in high school; 2 in junior and 4 as senior.
PSAT: 217 (bleh in CR)
est SAT: 225-230 (CR improved alot, was 630 in PSAT)

<p>You have a shot but Duke is still a reach.</p>

<p>If you like Duke the best of all of the colleges you are thinking of.. I would say apply to Duke Early. It would be a Match.</p>

<p>RD would be a Reach.</p>

4

<p>Good shot ED, but not a sure thing. Why Chicago? Its nothing like Duke and Northwestern.</p>

5

<p>I don't know about RD and ED... What about ED that makes my chances better for admission? Do they stilll offer financial aid for ED? Thanks.</p>

<p>If you apply ED you are commited to going to the college. This way the college can have more control over it's yield.
Equal Financial aid is available for ED applicants. However, if money is an issue you should apply RD so you can compare financial aid packages</p>
