<p>Do I have a shot at any Ivy? At all?</p>

<p>Well...Duke isn't an Ivy first off...and second I think you have a pretty good chance.</p>

3

<p>You'll get into Duke or Brown...don't worry.</p>

<p>By the way, how does your school weigh AP classes? Are they out of 6 or something?</p>

4

<p>more than fine chanses for d&b, i would suggest adding a higher reach as well, doesn't hurt:)
but,then if those are the schools you really wanna go to..then that's it.
btw: you're doing a lot of different stuff, what do you plan majoring in??</p>

5

<p>Don't worry. If you don't get in, I don't know if anyone else will....</p>

6

<p>siona: Well, I'm planning on eventually going into med - but for now, I think maybe I'll major in BME or Chem/Biochem.</p>

<p>sup: Yes, my school weighs an A in an AP course as 6. So it's 5.141/6.0 weighted and 4.0/4.0 unweighted <-- same for all I think.</p>

<p>Thanks for the ... hope guys :) Now I know I have a shot.</p>
