Hi, I am wondering what school I should apply to for Duke RD Class of 2022. I want to major in CS but also am interested in the CS/ECE double major at Pratt so I really just want to know which school would give me the best chance of getting in.

My Stats:
4.0 UW/4.79 W
APs: Phys C Mech, Phys C EM, BC Calc, Lang, World, USH, Comp Sci A, Gov; 5s on all except 4 on Lang and World
ACT: 35C 35W 36M 35R 34S 9/12 on essay
SAT II: Math 2 800 Physics 800 USH 780
ECs: Programming Club Secretary + Decent results at some local competitions, President Aeronautics Club, Internship at Mayo Clinic, App Development to help cancer patients, President for some other clubs/honor societies, etc

If I remember correctly, Pratt doesn’t provide CS major and does provide Computer Engineering. You may consider double major in CS from trinity and CE from Pratt (there is an article about this choice on Duke website) or only major in CS from trinity.

Yes, but I can do a double major of ECE in Pratt and CS in Trinity or I can just do CS in Trinity. I am fine with either I just want to know which one, Pratt or Trinity, would give me the best chance of getting in.

@gubster123 I recommend Pratt. Your impressive scores can definitely make you stand out among Pratt pool. You also can wait a few days to see ED stats and make this decision. Good luck!
