Indian Male from Bay area for Duke ED1 (LEGACY) and Vandy ED2 [CA resident, 3.9 GPA, 34 ACT, economics, philosophy, finance, accounting]

As for my class, my school does not do rank. But I am within the top 5% of my class (that is all I really know cuz of a letter we got). Including my outside AP/DE courses, I believe I have taken the most rigorous curriculum in my high school. Excluding my AP/DE courses, I still remain high in the rigor aspect. If I can ask, Duke requires us to submit all transcripts including courses taken through accredited institutions. Why do you suggest that outside course/post-AP math classes do not matter? I have taken Multivariable Calc, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations for credit. All of these are very challenging courses that emphasize my course rigor. My ACT falls in the median range for Duke right now.

Given this information, top 5% of class and falling within the median, along with my awards and ECs where do you suggest I stand? I understand legacy will not be providing any substantial benefit.

If I may also ask, what was your D’s profile like? Specifically her stats and ECs and hooks if applicable?
