<p>Decision: Accepted</p>

<p>Stats:[ul]
[<em>] SAT: 2270
[</em>] SAT IIs: 2200
[<em>] ACT:
[</em>] GPA: 3.800
[<em>] Rank: 14/721 (2 percent)
[</em>] Other stats:
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Essays: Very romantic, earnest, and very "me". I suppose the success of my essays is entirely contingent on whether or not a school likes "me" because I definitely tried to present my essence. Didn't write the "Why Duke".
[</em>] Teacher Recs: Mediocre
[<em>] Counselor Rec: Surprisingly good. Thought it was generic until I read it.
[</em>] Hook (if any): URM, Gymnastics
[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[<em>] State or Country: California
[</em>] School Type: Large Public. 3,000 students.
[<em>] Ethnicity: Mexican/Italian
[</em>] Gender: Male
[/ul]Other Factors:[ul]
[<em>] Extracurriculars: Accomplished Male Gymnast (lots of significant titles) for 12 years; Senior Class President, Ecology Club President....and nothing else. I guess I covered the bases for sport, community service, and leadership.
[</em>] Why I think I was accepted/rejected/waitlisted: Scores + URM status + Gymnastics (unusual) + Senior President is mildly prestigious I suppose. And if my essay "clicked" with the adcoms that helped.
[*] Other thoughts: Duke is amazing, I would love to become a Blue Devil. I'm visiting next week, so I guess we'll see. Officially my #2 choice.[/ul]</p>

<p>glad duke is my 2nd choice school.</p>

<p>I got wait listed.</p>

<p>32 ACT
4.0 GPA
lots of EC's, volunteer hours, work, etc. etc.</p>

<p>Rejected. International asking for aid. I guess that's the reason. At least that means I need to visit one place less :) Congrats to everyone who made it, good luck to everyone who didn't.</p>
