[quote=Anonymous][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] Source that in context please? All I see is him raving about his students. And I have heard him say it in person. Any school is going to have kids where you say “how did they get in?” But not 1/3. There are almost no tip schools that are fully immune from that. It is how they pay the bills. But let’s pick on Duke.[/quote] Interview with Jeff Selingo a couple of days ago. Start at around 41 minutes https://youtu.be/auljs2pVmMM?si=BaIW6XVDph2Co0rF[/quote]
