<p>I will most likely be a National Merit Finalist in the fall</p>

<p>*i know that my EC’s are a little weak, but thats b/c im so focused on basketball. my school is really good in bball. this year we had one player going to ASU, another Army, we were in state championship last year, and U of A comes to our open gyms to scout us. unfortunately, im not sure if colleges will know how good my HS team is and i dont think many people know how much a commitment basketball is (countless hours shooting, lifting, conditioning, playing, etc). any ideas on how to improve my EC’s? Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>how much scholarship money would i be looking at from Duke with my stats?</p>

<p>Your GPA, rank, test scores look good. Your state region is questionable, they certainly take less from your area, but that’s because not too many people are coming from midwest/western states (minus Cali). So that might actually wind up helping you. Your ECs are good too if you can write about them in the right way, such as emphasizing your sports focus. </p>

<p>As for scholarship money, that partially depends on your financial need. The Duke Scholarship has a need based component but the merit related portion strongly depends on need too.</p>

<p>ive heard duke is very strong in medicine, which is the field of study im looking at going into. is that true?</p>

<p>Yes, because Duke has a hospital and other medical facilities on campus.</p>
