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]

The data is actually moving in Chicago's favor. I Just in 2016 that number was 65% 35% in Dukes favor. Most of that was Duke ED Chicago EA across admits. Once Chicago introduced ED, the numbers have started moving in Chicago favor for obvious reasons. Unless you can compare RD vs RD admits which Parchment doesn't split, those numbers are misleading. You can already see a swing once Chicago got ED and that is going to continue[/quote]
