Odds by score band
Duke University odds for a 3.8–4.1 weighted GPA and a 1200–1290 SAT
Reach
A student with a weighted GPA of 3.8–4.1 and an SAT of 1200–1290 applying to Duke University is in the Reach range. Duke University admits 7% of applicants, and the middle half of enrolled students submitted SAT scores of 1510 to 1570. At this band the estimate is about 1 in 100.
50% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, 31% an ACT — these ranges describe students who submitted, not the whole class.
For this band, the estimate reads the middle of the band, a weighted GPA of 3.95 and an SAT of 1250, so a student's own numbers can land differently. It also weighs only the numbers; essays, activities and course rigor count too.
