<p>By Duke ED statistics:</p>

<p>WEIGHTED GPA: Pretty bad for weighted honestly
RANK: Top 25%, unless at a ridiculously competitive school, pretty bad, even including the fact you’re in IB
ACT: Solid
SAT IIs: Not bad at all
ECs: Awesome, although a presidency in something meaningful (I’m not downplaying the Native American club at all, I actually think it’s pretty cool, but it’s not a WOW factor) would help</p>

<p>NATIVE AMERICAN URM: In. I’m not cynical or anything, but you don’t deserve to get into Duke with those stats; but since you’re Native American, it puts you on a pedestal with kids who have 2400s and 4.0s with 3 varsity lettered sports…</p>
