<p>JK, but now that I got your attention what do you think my chances are of getting into Duke if I chose to not write an essay? Commonapp said it was optional and I took that very literally… I won’t bore you with E.C.s but my ACT is 33 and and I’m a National Merit Semifinalist.</p>
<p>Oh yeah and my GPA is like a 4.34 or something (probably 3.86 unweighted). I’m in the top four in my class.</p>
