[<em>] Other stats: AP calc AB--5
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Essays: common app. i suppose they were the best i could have done at that time.
[<em>] Teacher Recs: probably the strongest part of my app. i'm not very consistent when it comes to academic performance..but my teachers wrote that i had potential so i guess that's what they(duke) listened to.
[</em>] Counselor Rec: she's a nice lady. terribly overworked though.
[<em>] Hook (if any): maybe the leadership stuff? class pres, band leader, boosters officer...i really believe it was my recs that got me in.

[li] why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: i'll say it one more time...cool teachers.[/li][/ul]Other Factors: i had to deal with a herniated disk for most of my soph/junior year...maybe they thought that explained the inconsistencies in my grades. it was something my teachers emphasized in their letters as "a test of character" and all that. i had surgery this past summer so that's been mostly taken care of though.</p>

<p>gatechboy, I got in to Duke, but I'm not going. I think I'm going to Georgia Tech instead. Either there or Clemson. But leaning towards Tech. So yay to us future Yellow Jackets. Do you have a profile on the Georgia Tech Admitted Students Website thing?</p>
