<p>Calivla you have a decent shot :slight_smile: at Duke going by stats from my
school.From what I have seen from my past year high school
stats … Duke seems very SAT focused at the high end…</p>

<p>This is an area you can address for RD. SAT >> 2250 seem to get treated
relatively well at Duke despite some other severe shortcomings in the
applicant—definite anectodal evidence here. You stats appear way nicer than
those of individuals that got in from my school.</p>

<p>Also make sure you send in the Arts supplement with a recording of
your solo piece if possible. This will have a nice impact.</p>

<p><em>—:eek:—</em> ARWEN IS :mad: …
…he, he as for the budding ethinic profilers on this board…
…calivla is an individual with no control over her/his ethinic background and
every bit of control over her/his interests…there have been studies that
show close corelation between music abilities and medical aptitude?.. :D</p>
