<p>I took all the APs my schedule and counselor allowed this yr. Hopefully, I can pull the 2 APs im takin now up to A's but I'm being conservative in my assesment here. Once again, my counselor will check "most rigorous" because it is for my school.</p>

<p>Essays should be good. Call it B+ to be safe. Have gotten advice from many on here and think they ended up ok.</p>

<p>Teacher-Recs: Should be amazing. Both my teachers were thrilled and flattered at the opportunity to write them for me. </p>

<p>Once again, I know that these arent really that accurate but I would still like others advice about how good/bad my chances are.</p>

<p>....anyone???</p>

<p>wow your stats look so much better than mine
i think you've got an amazing shot at getting in duke ed- good scores, gpa, and an athlete
im new at chancing people but since im about 40% for duke- id say you're about 60% chance
and i don't think the senior grades will really matter if you apply ed- just don't like fail or anything
as for the others i think you'll have a great chance as well- especially since you're a north carolina resident
UVA may be a little tougher since you're out of state- but still you're probably in
good luck on duke ed- hopefull we'll both get in
---wow i really have to start writing my essays and getting recs haha</p>

<p>Thanks. Good luck. Anyone else care to weigh in with an opinion?</p>
