<p>Do a really great job with your chicago essays (which I think you will, looking at your awards) and I think you’ll be in.</p>
<p>Emory and Northwestern I feel that you also stand a good shot with. I would surprised if you didn’t get into both.</p>
<p>Duke, however, they are getting a lot of applicants from the south. If you brought your SAT up to a 2200, I’d say you’d be in. </p>
<p>Focus on your music. If you can visit campus and meet with music teachers, that would be fantastic. Try sending in a CD and definitely email some of the music teachers there, even if you are not going for a music major but still plan to pursue it.</p>
