[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frank Bruni who teaches at Duke has said he wonders how 1/3 of his classes got in to Duke. But he doesn't know if they are oboe players or whatever the school needed that year. A pretty damning statement.[/quote] From my kid's private, Duka took a kid in the lowest decile because parents paid few millions to the school. Many kids in the top decile were rejected. Frankly, everyone was shocked that you don't even have to be a legacy, be in the bottom, be a drug addict and still get in. I know it happens at many schools but it was still shocking to see this kid get in. There is no doubt the kid is in the bottom 1/3. [/quote]
