Do I have a shot at all of these schools?
Is there anything I can still do to improve my chances?
-english is 2nd language
-first semester of sophomore year is bad… but i have an excuse that i was diagnosed with ADD during that period and recieved treatment.
<p>Your chances at Duke might have been ruined by your first semester grades in 10th grade...I know thats rough, but 4 C's 2 F's and B almost rule you out...especially considering Duke's applicant pool this year.....So, unless your reason it more than ADD (not to diminish ADD, but a LOT of kids have it, and a lot of kids get good grades with it...), than it will be tough.....That being said, your schedule has been very challenging and your ECs are good..</p>
<p>I wont say "NO" to Duke...but you will need a major hook.</p>
<p>If it's a local school, you'd be better off asking local people (ex, friends, teachers, couselors, etc) than asking us. Their judgment would be far more sound than ours would.</p>
<p>UNC-CH and Duke both give preference to in-state students...so that helps your chances at both. Personally, I think you have a better shot at UNC-CH...</p>
<p>gosh quit arguing, dont look at the ratings for public schools, they always differe for instate students. and so what if they are 99'sm are you not going to apply there cuz a college review website says its hard to get into? i hope not</p>
<p>Duke likely no. UNC likely yes. The rest yes. And Alebed PRs new admissions selectivity rankings are idiotic. Look at last years. Now every school is 90 or above practically.</p>
