[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke is not even a top ten school anymore at USNews. Its rating is becoming more accurate. I guess when it falls to around 15 or so, then it won’t be overrated anymore. [/quote] Agree. Duke is only respected for athletics and its academic reputation is declining.[/quote] In what world is this true? You responded to a post from 3 yrs ago, Duke was briefly 11 then back to #7-9, AND continues to have more and more applications. Pre-test-optional, when scores were useful for general assessment of the peer group, Duke had higher 25-75th ranges than half the ivies(and, was nudged out by the other half of the ivies and Stanford, MIT and Vanderbilt—the latter has always loved super-high scorers). Not the only factor one should consider, but there is no question Duke gets the brightest kids just like those other schools. [/quote]
