Who applied ED?

Who else applied ED? Post your stats too, I'm sure we're all curious.


GPA 4.5
Ranking 20/560

ACT 30
Superscored SAT 760 CR 600 M 600 W

Varsity soccer 11-12th Captain
Travel Soccer 9th-12th Captain

NHS Officer
Senior Class Senator
Spanish Club Member

BIG EC's
Planned charity benefit/comedy show for local family hurting from medical bills and raised $5000+ (over summer) (wrote one of the mini-essays about this)
Planned disability awareness week at my school (wrote about this in the extra space section)

Recs
Guidance Counselor- Awesome. She did a good job of pointing out how we've always bumped head when it comes to scheduling; she thinks I'm overdoing it and I always prove her wrong.
Dean- Ridiculously awesome letter. He's known me for years. (Interviews were not available in my area, so they suggested I have someone who knows me send in a rec)
AP Lang Teacher- never saw but I can imagine it was good
APUSH/ Psych teacher- Probably the best yet, she knows me really well, and is a licensed psychologist. I've had plenty of hour long talks about psych (my stated major) with her.

APs
US History 5
Language 4

Schedule and first quarter grades
AP Biology A
AP Literature A
AP Chem B
AP Government A
Leadership Development Skills A
Philosophy A
(the following are online classes through FLVS)
AP Microeconomics A
Honors Spanish 3 A

Work experience
Worked at my moms travel agency over the summer doing deliveries and filing etc.

Essay topic for common app: The one about the most important issue concerning our world.

With the optional supplemental essay I did something a little different that should stick out well. It highlights how well I understand what Duke is about and how I want to be a part of that.

Comments- I feel like my SAT scores are the only thing that aren't up to par. My ACT should make up for that though. 30's withing range I'd say. The charity benefit I did was pretty big, hopefully they recognize that.
