[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They accepted 4% this year they said… good luck everyone :( [/quote] Wow, that means Duke is now projected to be more selective than Princeton this year.[/quote] That is Duke RD. I believe the overall acceptance when including ED is 5.3%. Not sure how Princeton compares.[/quote] According to Duke's website overall is 5.1% (including the 12.9% ED acceptance rate). So it might be more selective than Princeton by 0.1 or 0.2%, since Princeton last year was 6% acceptance rate.[/quote] The selective schools that utilize ED can’t really be compared on a selectivity metric to HYPS (restricted/single choice EA). It’s not apples to apples. [/quote] Duke is not quite as selective as the top half of ivies—penn is more selective especially for engineering and wharton—but duke is more selective than brown, cornell Dartmouth. It has earned its place as a T10. It does less DEI/rural/fgli than HPY and has probably the same rich legacy/famous people boost as the top ivies, or slightly LESS. They all do that. None of them are purely intelligence and merit like UK schools. But the unhooked kids who get in to any T10 have a tougher road than the hooked ones .[/quote]
