<p>I know there are seniors across the country asking this same question. I also know that no one truly knows the answer. However, I've read a lot of great feedback on this website and I am hoping I can receive the same!</p>
<p>I applied ED to Duke University (Class of 2015). I am on my second visit to the campus and I can't imagine being anywhere else next year. While it feels great to have such a connection with a college, it only increases my anxiety about the admissions process.</p>
<p>In brief:</p>
<p>I attend a private school of 400 students. I am the valedictorian of my senior class and have a 4.0 unweighted. I have taken several honors courses. However, I have only taken 2 AP courses. I received a 33 on my ACT and I'm awaiting SAT II results. </p>
<p>I am vice president of my senior class as well as a student ambassador. I am a varsity athlete (one season) and work summers. In addition, I helped create a nonprofit organization in Uganda. This summer, I visited the hospital we support, and this became the topic of my Common Application essay.</p>
<p>I have small classes (roughly 20 students in each) and I've developed personal relationships with all of my teachers. I believe I have good recommendations. My guidance counselor has also been a great leader in my high school career. She wrote a very compelling personal recommendation on my behalf.</p>
<p>I really hope this isn't overwhelming. I'm trying to give an overview of my application. I know it's hard to grasp who I am based on GPA and standardized test scores. However, do you think I have a good chance of being accepted into Duke? It's the only school I'm truly interested in and I need any input I can get.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
