Hey guys, I've been really worried lately because I was deferred from Duke ED. Ive decided on some other schools. Here are my stats. Tell me what you think, honestly.

SAT II Math 2 c- 670
SAT II Writing-700
AP US-3
AP Eng Comp-4
Ap World-3

GPA 4.0 Most grades above 90..
1/1240 I attend a large public school. Our school considers all students with 4.0's to be number one, but it distinguishes students into three graduating categories (with honors). I am in the top one (only about 30 students) Suma Cum Laude.

***Duke Pre-College Program Last summer for 6 weeks took undergrad classes (Calculus and Women's studies seminar) Grades- A- and B+ (good grades for that school) I am sending this school's transcript with apps.

Great Teacher Reccs. Great Counselor Recc.

I agree with the others your SAT II's are hurting you, not your SAT I. Other than those your stats seem to be great. Too bad you didn't get in. You seem like a good candidate.
