<p>Well, I think you have great SATs and an extremely competitive GPA. The 3 and the 4 blight the otherwise great AP scores. </p>

<p>Extracurriculars are decent, but perhaps a bit weak overall.</p>

<p>I think you stand a great chance with Duke, or any of the ivies for that matter.</p>

He applied last year a got deffered...you really never know with Duke, but You do have a good chance, but your prob. definetly have gotten in if you applied early...</p>
