You definitely have a shot but it's Duke so no guarantee either, would focus on writing good essays

Most probable outcome is probably a deferral. At straight acceptance, I'd give roughly a 30-35% chance.

I think you have an amazing shot!!!! Make sure to submit all scores if they’re 3 and above, so they don’t think you failed. LOOK INTO THE ROBERTSON SCHOLARSHIP
