<p>What are my chances at Emory, UNC, Duke, and Vanderbilt?</p>

2

<p>99% sure you'll get into UNC as a NC resident with those stats... if not then it would be some weird fluke.</p>

3

<p>you have a good chance to get into all of the schools you listed. Work hard to bring up your writing and reading scores and you'll have an even better chance</p>

4

<p>You are in at UNC no doubt since in state, not sure about Duke, looks like good shot at Emory or Vandy</p>

<p>Don't forget that Duke, too, demonstrates mild preference (as is mandated by the Endowment) for Carolina residents. </p>

<p>If I remember correctly, one of the terms of the original gift from the Duke family was 15% Carolina enrollment, a goal we do not reach in practice. We do demonstrate some mild preference, though.</p>
