<p>I’ve been perusing this site for a while, but think maybe now is the time to ask the eternal question: what are my chances at Duke?</p>
<p>applying ED</p>
<p>4000+ school in WI
white female</p>
<p>national merit semifinalist
SAT: 2240
ACT: 33 (retaking)
grades: 4.0, number 1 in class
ECs: forensics (debate, speech, student congress), track, intern in state government, newspaper, band, campaign volunteer, tutor, youth government member and official, national honor society, church youth group, etc. various leadership positions and awards received throughout. attended debate institutes all three summers at various colleges.
essay: solid
father is alumni</p>
<p>chance me?</p>
<p>I say you are definitely in. Nothing is 100% at Duke but I would be highly suprised if you were not accepted. Alumni Daddy + 2240 SAT + 33 ACT + #1 in Big Class + 4.0 GPA + Leadership Positions = Awesome!!! I really see no weaknesses in your application. Plus you are applying ED so that takes a lot of the randomness out of the decision. Kinda scary to see my competition as I’m applying ED too (Trinity). You should chance me in return since we are fellow applicants, it will be fun… <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/duke-university/571384-ed-chances-final-chance-thread-before-submitting.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/duke-university/571384-ed-chances-final-chance-thread-before-submitting.html</a></p>
