<p>What were your Ted talks about? What area? EC’s seem spread out.</p>

<p>My first one I did was about ‘film through education’, this was the one at the adult one:
[TEDxCreativeCoast</a> - Emery McGaha & Ross Marnock - Film as Education - YouTube](<a href=“TEDxCreativeCoast - Emery McGaha & Ross Marnock - Film as Education - YouTube”>TEDxCreativeCoast - Emery McGaha & Ross Marnock - Film as Education - YouTube)</p>

<p>The second one was ‘Filmaking and creative adaptation’ (the audio is messed up on this one)
[TEDxNextGenerationAsheville</a> 2010 - Emery McGaha & Ross Marnock - “Filmmaking & Creative Adaptation” - YouTube](<a href=“TEDxNextGenerationAsheville 2010 - Emery McGaha & Ross Marnock - "Filmmaking & Creative Adaptation" - YouTube”>TEDxNextGenerationAsheville 2010 - Emery McGaha & Ross Marnock - "Filmmaking & Creative Adaptation" - YouTube)</p>

<p>Would it be a good idea to write about this for my personal essay?</p>

<p>bump! Hey guys I am trying to consider whether this is worth it so only advice is appreciated!</p>

<p>It is worth it to apply ED to Duke in your case.</p>

6

<p>SAT is too low.</p>

7

<p>what if I just submitted my act, would that be a problem? And if I take the october sat and send it directly to Duke, would it get there in time?</p>

8

<p>SAT isn’t a problem, ACT is good enough. What’s your class rank or estimated percentile?</p>

9

<p>Well the thing is I go to a school with 45 people in my grade, so we don’t do class rank or percentile. But its between me and three other students for highest grades</p>

<p>Hey sorry I’m bumping this one last time; I just want to know if its worth it or not. Thanks!</p>

<p>Just send your ACT score and I would say you are a competitive candidate overall for admissions ED to Duke.</p>
