<p>Apart from your SATs, I'd say you're practically in at Duke (not that Duke is easy, but considering your other stats..)</p>
<p>Yes, your black (but probably not a descendant of African-American slaves) but a 1250 from a decent school (one that offers APs, IB, or any advance courses at all) probably isn't enough for Duke. If you get above a 1350 you have a decent chance.</p>
<p>Nearl, I am African American. And the word is you're, not your. Just had to point that out. :p</p>
<p>You said that you will bump this sometime in april...did you not apply early?/did you apply somewhere else early?</p>
<p>just wondering, but I think you have a really good chance, considering your GPA, ECs, and what I'm assuming are quality essays. Did you chose to do any of the Duke supplemental essays though? Good luck on the SATs, a higher score will definitely help you!</p>
<p>african american and 1st place in the school, u have a great chance!!! not to be racis.</p>
<p>Yea, what's with the 640 and USAMO? If you're a slow worker, how did you pull off high AMC and AIME scores?</p>
