This isn't very useful without SAT scores.[/quote]

Though Duke is still test-optional, I think about 75% of admitted students have submitted scores.

Current speculation is that Duke is staying test-optional primarily to give admissions more flexibility with hooked candidates. Unhooked should have at least a 1510 to hit the middle 50% range (1510-1560). [/quote]

Duke's long-term Dean of Admissions just retired and there is an interim in place now. The retired dean said they wanted to have a few TO classes graduate to see how they did. But also I think they want to give the eventual new dean some input in the decision.

Between their large number of top flight athletes, their increased emphasis on minority/local/low income students and their historic interest in being very welcoming to the kids of the rich and famous (though there aren't a ton of them), there would be some reason for Duke to stay TO to accommodate them, but I think their class is generally large enough that they can drop TO and still be fine as people would just ignore the bottom 25% numbers and note that the top 75% are still super high.[/quote]
