<p>Hello! I'm a female applying from the Midwest, and curious as to the acceptance of the engineering school. Duke is a reach for me, but I've been told that since my scores are close to the mid-50% and I'm a female that my chances are not as low as I expected. I was wondering if anyone could testify to the lack of females or my geographic location? Has anyone ever had a spontaneous admittance that they weren't expecting? Thanks!</p>
