So how about being a Duke Blue Devil?

I swore I’d never make one of these, and I’m still going to apply, but, what the heck.:P

GPA: 4.0 UW / 4.39 W
Rank: 1-4 of out 375
Plenty of APs and Honors…just sayin’.

ACT:31
English:31
Math: 26 (I had trig freshman year:/)
Reading: 35
Science: 31

SAT:1340 (let’s hope my ACT balances out)
Reading: 720
Math: 620

ECs:
-Lettered in Varsity soccer for Junior and (hopefully) Senior year.
-Part of school’s choral program. 2nd best Men’s choir/ 5th best choir Sophomore year. (Not that it matters, I just like saying it:))
-10 trips to NOLA for flood relief (two or three a year); tallying in about 60+hours of work a trip. (And we work hard; not your typical mission trip.)
-Beta Club and NHS, blah blah blah.
-Active member of Student Council, though not an elected (it’s a popularity contest even in the best STUCO of the state).
-Have helped in so many church camps you’d think I was a saint;)

Of course I’ll get bashed for the lower test scores, but meh, I really don’t think it’s that ridiculous. By the way, my main choice is Vanderbilt because it’s in state, but it’s an extremely similar school but everyone knows Duke. Chances are money won’t pan out, so I’ll likely enroll at UT for their honors program anyways.
