SAT II: 780 Math II and 760 Math I
Intended Majors: Mathematics and Chinese

You should look at Naviance for your school. See if others from your HS were admitted with similar statistics. The rest of your profile looks fine.

3

You should try and calculate your gpa. Look up what the schools you’re interested in calculate it. 3.6 is good, but it doesnt look as good as all your other stats.

4

–What is the $75,000 you quoted: family income or total amount of aid you require?
–What was your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) when you ran the Net Price Calculator for Duke?

5

family income for the 75,000, my parents have a combined income a little lower than 75k
my sister goes to duke now and we pay around 15k a year w scholarships

6

–What were sis’s stats?
–Did she attend the same HS as you?

Good shot at Tufts but I think all the others are just as competitive and elite as Duke.

I think you will get accepted to Tufts but rejected from JHU and Vandy. Your extracurriculars simply do not match up with your intended major.
