<p>Okay, I know Duke will take either the SAT and two subject tests, or the ACT. I got a 2040 on my SAT (760 writing, 660 CR, 620 math), and a 28 on my ACT. I sent both, thinking they would just consider the ACT score. I just got back my SAT subject tests (690 Lit, 660 Bio M). Considering my SAT score, whether it's better than my ACT score, should I submit my SAT subject tests so they consider the SAT I score????? I need to do it soon because Jan. was the last date they would accept them.</p>
<p>I don’ think it will matter for your application. Both your SAT and ACT scores are well below the 25% for admitted freshmen at Duke. Your subject test scores are in the bottom half of all students who take these tests.</p>
<p>The Admissions Office is well into their decision process. Although they will accept new information at any point until decisions are announced, I suspect they will not consider the new information at this point. It is unlikely that submitting the scores now will have any impact.</p>
<p>They said they would consider them though</p>
<p>A 2040 is not “well below the 25% mark”
It may be in the bottom end but you make it sound as if they have no chance. Its in the bottom 25% but its definitely not “way below”</p>
<p>Thank you Leighhopeful! I needed that encouragement. rmldad’s comment is just grim and doubtful. I like to keep the idea of holistic admissions in my mind.</p>
<p>Who knows who gets accepted. But I doubt the bottom 25% is all that holistic. You have less then 250 spots to be filled from this quartile during regular decision. A majority of these spots will be targeted applicants, the largest of which has to be recruited athletes.</p>
<p>Honestly know one knows and it just depends on each applicant. I still think you have a chance but obviously chances are slim not just for you but for me and everyone else. So I guess well all just have to wait and see!</p>
<p>Yes thank you and good luck to everyone!</p>
