<p>Come on guys nothing? bumpp</p>

3

<p>I think you have a goood chance, especially depending on how deep your legacy runs (how many generations)?</p>

4

<p>well only 1 generation at both Princeton and one at Amherst my dad was 1st gen and my grandparents went to UCLA and vassar if that helps</p>

5

<p>i feel like you can probably get into duke - but it's sad because then you can't apply to anywhere else. you have great shots at some other places on your list, are you sure you want to be bound to duke if you get in?</p>

6

<p>what's ur sat score?</p>

7

<p>Do any of u know if regents exams count for admission?</p>

<p>Anyways, You're a low reach for Duke, and fine for the rest except princeton and cornell.</p>

8

<p>i hope you get in because I have similar stats lol</p>

9

<p>Uhm I havent taken the SAT 1 I took the ACT instead...</p>

10

<p>Ok I got back my SAT 2 US Score back and I got a 730 - worth retaking?</p>
