[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, my DS applied to Yale early and they only saw a 1% increase in early applicants this year. Duke is seriously getting popular, my DS is definitely applying RD even if Yale comes back with an acceptance.[/quote]

Yep, Duke is really breaking through right now. My daughter said a slew of some of the best kids in her grade ED'ed to Duke this year... and the sad part is based on history, only a few of them will get in. But that's the game, and you have to at least do yourself the courtesy of trying to get in. My daughter will also be going for RD.[/quote]

This is nothing new, there are valedictorians who ED to Duke every year from all around the country. It's a perennial T10. It might just be getting a bit more popular now because kids might be leaning more towards quality of life and good weather, which Duke offers while maintaining its high academic reputation. I imagine Vanderbilt will get the same benefit but to a lesser extent since Duke basically runs the South.[/quote]
