<p>I have Duke as my far far far reach school hoping that I get lucky</p>

<p>but be honest should I even bother</p>

<p>SAT: 660 Reading
650 Math
670 Writing</p>

<p>ACT: 31</p>

<p>GPA: 3.5
taken 10 APs</p>

<p>Played JV basketball and ran track
in a couple of clubs (interact, s.a.d.d.)</p>

<p>It’s unlikely that you’ll get in because of your (in comparison to Duke) low SATs, GPA, and unimpressive ECs. However, you’ll never know unless you apply.</p>

<p>of course you should apply! you never know</p>

<p>You should definitely apply because like brooklyn24601 said you never know. I got into Duke with a 3.5 GPA and a 27 ACT score. Honestly, it’s a crap shoot and you’ll never know until you try. So please do try, you could be a fellow classmate of Class of 2015 :]</p>
