[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the midwest, and Duke was gaining a lot of popularity in my area at the time, but here on the West Coast, it's not very popular. Any reason why? For example, our high performing public school will have 20 applicants to each of the Ivies, but some years none to Duke. I also don't see a lot of Duke matriculants from the private schools in our area. [/quote] Just a guess from CA, but the South is not that popular out here, especially with support for Trump in recent years, and, despite what others might think, people here don’t consider Duke equal to an Ivy. To give you an idea, someone talked about their daughter going to Tulane for a semester exchange and humorously called it her “study abroad” program. I’ve lived out here since the early 1970s and most of the people I encounter here with southern roots like me are African Americans.[/quote]
