Lot of extra curriculars, including lots of volunteering. White male, from Northeast. Was Commended National Merit Scholar. Odds?

And, if I don't get in as a frosh, would I have better chances applying as a transfer student if I do slighly better in year 1 college

I think if your extra curriculars really are amazing and show leadership qualities, you have a shot at it! Your test scores are a low compared to the their averages, but hey, you never know. Good luck!

I agree. There are several extra factors in the admission decision that play pivotal roles (especially in my case). I will share with you that my SAT's were a 2110 (rather mediocre). I was also Commendated for PSAT's and I have a 4.0. I got in. I'm also Asian in case you were wondering. I have no doubt that my essays/recommendations were my strengths and my test scores were my Achilles Heel. Increase the test scores a bit and have everything else on your application near immaculate and you have a beastly shot a Duke.
