On the Duke website, and on the website of all the other top schools, they have a page that tells the SAT scores of the kids who are Freshman there this year. Duke is one of the top schools in the world - students there had GPAs close to perfect, and SATs over 1400 out of 1600 , it is not quite as hard to get into as Columbia or Harvard or Stanford because, let's face it, it's in Durham, NC instead of New York, Boston or San Francisco. :(
You can get the statistics on all the schools in the USA by searching at collegeboard.com or princetonreview.com and using their colelge search systems. They will help you go through the 3,800 colleges int he USA and find one that fits what you want to do, the part othe country you like, and the level of students that matches your school record.
There is a good school for everyone who wants to go to college. All you have to do is find the one that's right for you.

You won't get in! Your spelling and grammar are not up to par for that school! Haha. Just kidding, but do watch all of that little stuff when writing an essay. Generally speaking, if you have a gpa of 3.5 or better, are in the top 10% of your graduating class, and score high on the ACT or SAT, you have a good chance at being accepted.

Yes Duke is a very good school. It is one of the top ranked in the nation. So naturally, yes, it is very hard to get into.
