Hi, I will be a highschool junior in the fall and I’ve been looking at colleges and Duke stood out to me. What were your grades/act and/or say scores? What did you do besides grades to get you an edge into duke? What was your “golden ticket”?
I am an Asian American likely wanting to major in biology and follow the pre med route
Thanks!
@hamzag Read the regular results and ED results threads for the last several years, and you’ll learn all you want to know about scores, grades, hooks, etc. The 2019 threads are still close to the top of the Duke forum.
@hamzag This has been posted before, but here is what Duke’s Dean of Admissions said about the admissions process:
My daughter is Class of 2019. What she tried to do in her application, essays, and recommendations was to show what her passion is, what makes her unique, what she has to offer Duke. As @neogeezer indicates, you can look at the accepted students threads for the past few years. Hopefully, you will see there is a wide range of demographics, personality types, activities, and qualifications. Good luck.
