<p>Your ECs are amazing, but your standardized tests are low and your GPA is way out of the range for Duke. You'd better have a pretty compelling explanation for your grades (ie. serious illness) By all means apply, but have a list of safety schools that you really like.</p>

<p>Yep. While your EC's are absolutely phenomenal, that can't make up for a low GPA/low test scores, for the most part. Do you go to a phenomenally hard school? Did you spend TOO MUCH time devoted to ECs? </p>

<p>Nonetheless, what is the breakdown on your test scores? Is your math a lot higher?</p>

4

<p>Just wondering, how did you get the opportunities to do those things? Internships at Princeton, JPL, Rutgers must have been amazing experiences.</p>

<p>wow truly truly amazing - an inventor, researcher - very serious stuff. You're in ED, or prob even RD for that matter.</p>
