<p>Your unweighted gpa is relatively low. It would help if your rank is high. But, other than that, your scores are solid and your ECs are good as well.</p>

3

<p>thank you! my class rank is high (not as high as I’d like it to be but its high.) I’m in the top 87th percentile of my class. But what do you think my chances are for my list?</p>

4

<p>Ivies and Duke are very high reaches with your GPA. The others I’m not very sure about.</p>

5

<p>Most AA’s I’ve seen admitted to Duke on CC have a 1300 Sat M+R, although one was a 1280/2040.</p>

6

<p>^Where did you see that?</p>

7

<p>Your stats are definitely on the lower end, but considering your URM status you have a chance.</p>
