<p>I'll try to chance you back =)</p>
<p>GPA might be a bit low but since you have good ECs w/ leadership, i think that evens out. ACT looks good. I think maybe a high match for you. What are you trying to major in? Also what is your race?</p>

<p>I am applying to an economics major. I plan on leaving my ethnicity blank on the common app, so that should not be a factor.</p>
<p>ACT is VERY nice. GPA is a bit low, but I think your ACTs alone make up for that. And then we get to your ECs. A shorter list than most on this site who get “chanced”, but I think that’s a good thing. Too many people are trying to put as many little things as they can. Your ECs are nice. I think Duke should accept you, no questions asked. Just get that GPA up since I assume you’re a senior now.</p>
<p>I totally agree. From what I have seen from kids who get into selective schools from my highschool is that as long as you are busy and are doing what you want throughout high school, ECs don’t matter as much as everyone here seems to make it be like.</p>
<p>shameless bump</p>
