<p>I'm only asking because I'm curious. I'm not actually applying because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get in because of my weak EC, recs.</p>
<p>33 ACT
4.4 GPA weighted
3.96 GPA unweighted
37/1021 class rank (top 3%)</p>
<p>ECs
My only ECs really are holding a steady job for the past 2 years and a little volunteering here and there.</p>
<p>What do you think are the chances of a strong academic but weak EC record?</p>
<p>i mean there's nothing wrong with trying! it is common app after all.
the chances for a strong academic record but weak EC record varies. if the academic record is AMAZING then the person has a chance. your particular record, while still quite good, isn't going to blow them away.
something you may want to think about are the essays. duke gives you a substantial chance to impress them through short responses and the essays. If you can pull of something really great, you still have a chance (albeit a small chance).</p>
