Guttentag said the bar for acquiring a top score in each of the categories is continually increasing. Seven or eight years ago, five Advancement Placement exams with a score of five would warrant the top score in Duke’s achievement category. Today, about half of the applicants meet this standard.

Getting atleast 5 APs with 5s seems to be one of the key in getting into top 10 schools, atleast this year. Above statement is from admissions director of Duke. Of course your essays and recommendation letters matter too.
