<p>Duke is my reach school. I believe my GPA and rank are on par (4.56 W 3.96 UW and top 4%), but my combined SAT is 1950. I'll be taking the ACT soon, so hopefully I will do better on that.</p>
<p>There is no cut off. But higher scores help. The average SAT is between 2040 and 2330. 25% of people are below 2040 and 25% of people are above 2330. Keep in mind that Duke is holistic, so if you have lower test scores you can still get in if you have really strong parts in the rest of your application. Good luck!</p>
<p>I think you sound pretty competitive. My eldest is at Duke and know of many kids there with your stats. Good Luck to you.</p>
<p>I have your exact SATs and a much lower gpa and am getting a lot of interest from Duke, but I play football.</p>
