[quote=Anonymous]Duke took 90 transfer kids last year and has said they will take 90 more this year. They are 100% focused on transfer kids who are humanities (English, History, art, foreign language) and social sciences (sociology and anthropology) majors. They've said that they don't expect freshman admits to come locked into a major but by sophomore year they do. This makes sense and it's really difficult to build a "fake" profile through a year of college because if you're taking Econ and STEM classes and joining those clubs at your sending school then it's impossible to convince Duke that your passion is really in Romance languages. Sure, you could have a grand year-long plan based on tricking Duke but then you're sort of screwed at your home school if you don't get in (when you have taken a year of sociology courses, haven't started your engineering course work and aren't in STEM clubs, etc).
