<p>I know that you cant judge my personality with just stats and few notes over my activities. But, Duke has always been a dream…do i even have a chance if i go early decision?</p>

<p>your chances are DAMN GOOD</p>

<p>You seem to have about the same stats as I did last year, although slightly better. I got in ED to Trinity and will be going to Duke this Fall. I don’t know if this helps other than to give you some reassurance; however, Pratt admits students on a different formula than Trinity. So nothing is for certain.</p>

<p>You also have very similar stats as me (except I had a lower SAT score) and I was accepted to Pratt. I think probably for me was that I got high grades in my AP courses…so as long as you keep up your GPA next year, you have a great chance. Also, maybe on your app., you could list all you awards, acheivments, and other noteables for your ECs to show your dedication to them. Good luck</p>
