<p>Good shots at all. Depends what state you live in, like ex: If NC, you’re almost surely in at Duke (since they need to fill a quota) and if NY, you’ll boost chances at Cornell and Columbia.</p>

<p>I don’t think that being in NY improves chances at columbia, since it’s private and so many NY kids apply there anyway. Cornell might need to fulfill a quota for some of its schools, though, for NY students. Not sure about duke.</p>

<p>still, damn. nice stats.</p>

<p>good chance in all of them</p>

<p>enderkin… I guarantee you that Duke has a quota. (only for NC and SC students). In fact, inside the school’s charter, it clearly states that around 15 % of the incoming class must come from the Carolina’s.</p>

<p>thanks guys! i think CNI is right about duke and enderkin is right about columbia.</p>

<p>btw. im doing engineering minus columbia (college) if that changes anything?</p>

<p>Bumpppppppp</p>

<p>it might be a bit of a stretch… i dont want to stereotype, but i go to a school with alot of asians and they have the same grades/satscores/ECs as you… typical asians and typical indians are definately discriminated against in the admissions process nowadays becuase there are alot of them</p>

<p>which totally stinks too. i wish i wasnt cookiecutter asian</p>
