<p>I have always loved Duke, and I want to apply ED but I really doubt that I will be accpeted, so I was considering applying ED to Tufts instead.</p>
<p>GPA=? (I go to what is commonly known as one of the top 3 boarding schools in NE, and we don't do class rank or GPA)
AP Chem: 4
AP English Lit: 4
Sat: M 720/R 750/W 780 (2250)

We don't have designated AP classes, we have honors or advanced, but they aren't designed for the AP curriculum

<p>EC:
Volunteer at local Hospital 100+
Math and Science Tutor (3 years)
Proctor (like an RA in college, I look after the kids in my dorm)
2 medical volunteer missions to central america
1-2 Varsity Sports (depends on what i do this year)</p>
<p>Then I'm a member of a bunch of other small groups but I won't mention those because I don't do too much with them.</p>
<p>I've heard AP's aren't counted, but Duke leaves 8 spaces to list your scores in your application. I was hoping they would help me, somewhat.</p>
<p>I feel that my grades and ECs will hurt me, but its pretty hard to get an A here. I'm goint to retake the IIC this fall and the Spanish w/ listening. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
