<p>I am hoping to apply ED to Duke next fall as a white male from suburban Wisconsin. I got a 2210 on my SAT (800 math, 650 CR, 760/12 writing). As I look at the accepted students, it looks like no white kids got in with that low on any section. Is this going to kill me? I got a 35 on the ACT with a 35 on reading.</p>
<p>i think you’re fine, test-wise. Not everyone has the stats that you read on this site. Obviously you need the grades, recommendations and EC’s to go with your good scores.</p>
<p>Congrats on the 800. Good for you.</p>
<p>Yeah dude, don’t worry about it. I had a 660 verbal and got in (1370 overall…yes, I know, that seems bad… but frankly, I don’t care anymore. That’s one of the joys of college :)). I also had a 33 ACT score. So, I think you’re fine.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it at all - you’re test scores are solid. That one subsection is easily compensated by your ACT score and your high math score. They don’t expect everything to be perfect.</p>
<p>You’re fine on test scores as long as your ECs are awesome. I got in with a 620 math, 780 verbal, and a 33 ACT.</p>
