<p>Actually I just read the counselor’s report with the actual number of students. It’s 637. </p>

<p>And thanks! I really hope so. Duke and UT Austin are my top schools but I’m auto-accepted into UT because I’m in-state citizen and am top 10%.</p>

<p>My weighted gpa on 100 scale is a 106.43</p>

<p>you are in!</p>

<p>Bumping this up.</p>

<p>You guys really think so? I’ve seen people with better stats told that Duke is their ‘reach’.</p>

<p>Weak ACT and SAT scores… definitely below Duke average. But your ECs are good.</p>

<p>High Match/Low reach if you can milk those in an essay</p>
