[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke has not increased its undergraduate enrollment in decades.[/quote]

Didn't they increase the class last summer by 150 with all those late WL admits in July? They are slowly increasing each class size....its why they admitted so many humanities students as transfers for sophomore year too.[/quote]

Wasn't the speculation that the late WL admits were because of unexpectedly low international student enrollment due to visa crackdowns?[/quote]

It was 50?

For the first time in recent history, Duke reopened its waitlist this summer to enroll an additional 50 first-years less than two weeks before new student move-in on Aug. 16. Kathy Phillips, interim dean of undergraduate admissions, told The Chronicle in August that the decision to reopen the waitlist was [b]part of the University’s plan to expand its undergraduate class size[/b] from an “initially anticipated” 1,720 to 1,750 students. Whether financial pressures or international student visa delays played a role in the decision is unclear.[/quote]
