<p>Just visited Duke today and loved it. I am definitely going to apply.<br>

AP Language and Composition
AP Biology
AP Statistics</p>
<p>-3 Years of Spanish</p>
<p>-Ranking: My school ranks you as 1 out of 600 if your weighted GPA is above 4.0. So I'll be listed as 1 out of 600 even though I'm not actually validectorian. But I'm definitely top 5% of my class. </p>

<p>Nothing spectacular, but I might apply ED.
I plan on auditioning for the choral program, and if I'm accepted, trying out for the Dancing Devils. </p>
<p>My recs will come from my junior year AP Biology teacher and I'm not sure about which teacher will do my second rec. My school is large so my rec from my councilor won't be too personal. My essays should be very strong.
Thank you so much!! :)1</p>
