can someone tell me how i stack up?

i just want some other peoples opinions on where i can reasonably get into college because all the information is unreliable and inconsistent, so a little non-biased help would be much appreciated.

gpa: 3.53 (uw)
sat: 2100 (700's)
course rigor: a bunch of honors and ap's, not the hardest, but decently hard
ap test scores: 5
ec's: 3 leadership positions, 9 total activities
jobs: 3, 1 year round, 2 summer

sorry if i'm vague, but i don't like to be too specific about my stats, i also expect solid teacher recs. and a decent counselor rec.

i'm looking at schools like wash. u, duke, and rice if that helps anyone compare

I'd say you're reasonably close to this person and your chances are about the same.

I've been following Duke AA admission stats for a few years; I think your SAT's might work, but I haven't seen many GPA's below 3.7 get in. What's your weighted GPA?

really? can you tell me more about what you've found? i have higher than a 3.7 weighted and hoping to bring it up in first mp before early decisions are due. so i should have almost a 4+ weighted, but a low 4+. but i'd really appreciate it if you could tell me more about admissions at duke
