Parchment shows it 58% to 42% in Duke's favor for cross-admits with Chicago.

Parchment data is notoriously inaccurate and spotty. Plus that includes data when Duke had ED sand Chicago didn't, plus that number is actually moving in Chicago's favor not Duke's. I would bet that in a few years when only the results from when Chicago introduced ED is in the parchment system Chicago will trounce Duke[/quote]

Well, Parchment is at least supposed to be based on real data and most of the results I see among top schools look plausible.  Otherwise, what we are left with here are a couple of guys saying "Exeter Alum here. . .".  Data point of one school from one person's limited vantage point.[/quote]

Duke and Chicago are two schools that have been hot, albeit at somewhat different times.  If you go back not that far, Chicago was not that selective.  I think admit rate was close to 50%.

My gut feel is Duke comes in at about the mid-Ivy level, below HYP, and roughly on par with Columbia and Penn (which is significantly buoyed by Wharton).   I'd say Chicago comes in at a similar level, but Duke has some admission advantages due to the pull of weather and sports.[/quote]
