[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many students are you talking about who have been so confused as to apply to both UChicago and Duke?  I know both schools very well and they are so dissimilar that anyone applying to both would be pretty uncertain as to what they are looking for in a college experience.  The respective profiles for 2021 classes show that UChicago accepted 679 students who chose not to enroll - Duke accepted 1536 who chose not to enroll.  So cross admits are students without a strong sense of self or commitment to a particular university - what do you suggest that this reveals about the qualities and characteristics of either school??

This thread has jumped the shark![/quote]

What would be relevant to this discussion is how many of those 679 UChicago deflections went to Duke? This is visible on social media: the answer is a LOT.

How many of those Duke 1536 ended up at Chicago? Again, visible on social media: very few.

As for who's "confused"? Top kids apply ED/EA to one top 15, then much of the rest of the top 15 RD and go to the best one they get into. From looking at c/o 2021 and 2022, it's clear as day smart kids still put Columbia and Duke ahead of Chicago.[/quote]
