<p>so, here goes</p>

<p>Im currently a student living in asia[i know that just makes the situation worse], and im kind of interested in duke since many of the family friends sons have went there...Currently, i will be going overseas to study 11th grade on a scholarship, so i was wondering what grades and SAT scores will be considered sufficient to be considered for admission at all. Also, can you evaluate how average my tenth grade results and co-curriculars look like?</p>

<p>10th Grade Results [O levels]</p>

<p>English - A2
Maths - A2
Additional Maths - A2
Physics - B3
Chemistry/Biology - A1
Social Studies- A2
Higher Chinese - E8
Chinese - B3</p>

<p>I kind of failed higher chinese because i was sick on that day, although i have plenty of transcripts to prove that my results lie in a B range which is a relatively good score...Taking the SAT chinese soon, and i expect to get 800 without sweat</p>

<p>Co-Curricular Activities
Volunteer at old folks home
Fund-raising for disabled people
Service to Nation for National day [participation with armed forces]
Represented School and Country in overseas programmes with scouts
Volunteer teaching to under-priveleged children[intend to do it soon]</p>

<p>Entirely, entirely too early to speculate. Wait a year, check out the incoming class’ stats, and then make an educated guess yourself.</p>

<p>Your only a sophomore. Take some challenging classes, get involved in things that you enjoy, not to pad a resume, and enjoy HS for a while. Just be an active student and work hard on your academics. Worry about college later.</p>
