thanks</p>
<p>i think you've got a chance...i know people that got in with less...but my school generally sends alot there.</p>
<p>You seem to be the type of student Duke is looking for. I'd say match or low reach.</p>
<p>there is no way you will be accepted to duke. i know this. i am at duke. class of 2010 room 305. i take classes here and i know because i am here that you have NO CHANCE. this is to save you money and time. do not send in your application! DANGER! AVOID APPLYING. you will not get in. i dont know how else to say this. i have heard there is a 17% acceptance rate, and, friend, you are not lucky #17. duke is a fine institution that you would probably be unsuccessful at even if you were accepted because your transcript isn't strong enough.</p>
<p>Cool, felix. What am I missing?</p>
<p>Groan, Felixho is a troll. You have the numbers to get into Duke. A lot of your ECS are average but painting could be a hook. Research arts at Duke and tie painting into why you want to go there.</p>
<p>Okay thanks guys that's all I need</p>
<p>GreenShirt: I'm about to go do that</p>
<p></p>
<p>green you need to relax, it was a joke. i thought that was pretty obvious (even to snakebyte), but i guess not. also, as much as i'd like to take credit for that post, because it was hilarious, i can't. a bunch of my friends posted that, cuz they thought it'd be funny, and they were right. now if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go cut myself. groan.</p>
<p>Were you being sarcastic felixho? cus I didn't get it...O_O</p>
