<p>You’re EC’s are really good so I’d say you’ll get into Duke :slight_smile:
And everywhere else except Yale (reach-mid, esp. with a deferral) and possibly Penn and Dartmouth but I’d say you have a good shot at both</p>

<p>That is quite a list of ECs you got there. That with good grades and good scores makes you a darn good applicant! You have a pretty good shot at getting into Duke, but I’m no expert. Did you have an interview?</p>

<p>Chance me?
