<p>I have a 4.0 UW GPA, taking the most rigorous course (IB) available at one of the top high schools in Canada. It does not rank sadly.</p>
<p>I will be taking the SAT in October, currently getting about 2250, hoping to get to 2300+ by test-time.</p>
<p>Can anyone give me a rough idea of what stats I need? I know ECs and essays are all critical too, but I'm just looking at the stat portion right now.</p>
<p>Also remember that I am a black male with Canadian and Nigerian citizenship.</p>
<p>The best you can get. While that may sound not helpful at all, the better you score/better grades you get, the better your chances. There is no stat cut off.</p>
<p>I don’t want a cutoff. I just wanna know what stats give you a reasonable chance of getting accepted.</p>
<p>I would say in your situation (being international) you probably need to be above the middle fifty (top 25%) to have a GOOD shot. You definitely have a shot with lower scores, but there will be plenty of international students with top top scores. Were talking about Duke here though, so getting in the top 25% is no easy task. </p>
<p>Im no admissions officer, and this is just my opinion, so if anyone else wants to chime in that would probably be good. Anyway, good luck with all this! Im glad I am finished with standardized testing, and am just hoping what I have now is good enough.</p>
