<p>Well chance threads are really boring and don't actually do anything most of the time. For example my response to your chance is: Looks good, go on ahead and apply.</p>

<p>If you have a question besides "will I get in" I'd be more than happy to answer it but most people really have nothing to say to these chance threads. (unless they include a specific question)</p>

<p>thanks..i would like to know how good Duke is for a student wishing to pursur a career in finance.What is the campus life like? Is there any reginalism, where a degree form Duke is more valuable in one area than another?</p>

<p>You should get in, but honestly I would have done more extracurricular activities, more sports.</p>

8

<p>Why? It's stupid to take up a sport just to throw it on a college app...I think the ECs are fine. You should get in.</p>

9

<p>yes but duke wants a well rounded person..this includes taking up some sports..it's not just to throw it on to a college app..</p>

10

<p>lol, you should apply to Yale, not Duke with those stats</p>

11

<p>thanks everyone..anyone else?</p>

12

<p>lol, u do hvae a lot of ECs, but they're all over the place. pick a few that u like the best, especially the ones u have leadership positions in, and make it seem like ur passionate. that should be good. i kno ppl with worse qualifications who havegotten in</p>

<p>Thanks for your comments~ I am just wondering how it will affect chances if i am an international student and applying for financial aid?</p>
