[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For students needing FA, Duke isn’t nearly as generous as most if not all of the schools ranked higher. Definitely a more “wealthy” feel at Duke vs other ivies, Stanford, MIT [/quote]

This is objectively not true, even if you think Duke has a different feel. You don't think Princeton also has a wealthy feel?[/quote]

Duke definitely has a different feel. Sure they all have their share of very wealthy students but HYPSM enroll noticeably more lower income students/pell grant eligible students. Princeton offers a lot of support (financial and otherwise) for lower income / first gen students. 
Duke is one of the least economically diverse colleges in the US.

Duke actually enrolled 17% pell grant students for class of 2027, which is in line with Princeton[/quote]

That’s for one class. And probably the first and only class they were above 12-15% Let’s see if that trend continues. Princeton and Yale have 22% of students eligible for pell grant for class of 2027. Harvard was 19%.
