[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if you don’t have a good test score, go with Duke TO.  [/quote]

Has a 35 ACT superscore. Is that strong enough to compensate for the B+'s?[/quote]

NP
How many B, B+ and B-? In which year?
What subjects are they in?
Is this DC taking the most rigorous course load among their peers?
J hr ow rare is it to get 4.0/straight As at this high school? [/quote]

1 semester in Sophomore year, 1 semester in Junior year in Math. 
Yes, taking the most rigorous courses. Maybe too rigorous in hindsight. 
Pretty rare to get 4.0, with the highest rigor, but there are a hand full for sure. Also, there are some with 4.0, but taking less rigor.[/quote]

That won’t be the reason they wouldn’t be accepted. It’s whether they have the rest of the package and fit into the class they want to shape. That’s where the lottery ticket mantra comes in. Not totally true, but loads of perfect 4.0/1600/36act get denied. [/quote]
