<p>Do you think I have a chance to transfer to Duke? My brother went to Duke and Fuqua MMS if that helps at all.</p>

<p>I’d say Duke is a high match for you. There’s about a 70% chance you get accepted, especially since Duke and UNC-CH work so closely on so many things.</p>

<p>Chance me please?

<p>I think you’ll get in! Nice ECs/college GPA</p>

4

<p>I think you’ll def get into Duke for Chapel Hill. You sound just like the kind of person they want.</p>

<p>I like your shots. a 3.8 at UNC is very good, I can’t imagine duke will ask for much more.</p>

<p>These people are giving you false information; Duke’s transfer acceptance rate is about 10% and will probably be even lower this year. You definitely don’t have a 70% chance because almost no one does. I’d say you have a good shot if you retake the SAT or ACT and geta 2200/33 or higher because you have a great college GPA, great EC’s, you’re a legacy, and you’re a URM.</p>

<p>Only weak thing now is test scores because I would imagine your college GPA will make up for your high school GPA.</p>

<p>I’d give you something like a 25-33% chance (which is actually good considering the acceptance rate) and probably much better if you can raise your test scores. I don’t have all that much experience with/knowledge about transfer admissions but I would imagine my assessment is much more accurate than the others who have posted here.</p>

<p>URM with a 2080. I think you have a fair chance.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response. I agree with the comments on my SAT score, I was actually thinking about taking the test again. I’m just hoping that the next available SAT date (March 11th I think) will be accepted… If so I think I can really boost my SAT score, especially in Math and Writing. </p>

<p>I’ll chance back everyone who posted right now!</p>

10

<p>I’ll just give this a bump… I will chance back everyone!</p>

<p>may i ask why you’re choosing to transfer to duke from unc?</p>

<p>Typically Duke is hard to get into, but since you have a 3.8gpa from North Carolina, I would say your chances of being accepted are good.</p>

<p>Chance me?
