[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too many URMs, athletes, legacies and donors' kids to accept.[/quote] This would cause the numbers to go up; not down.[/quote] +1. Also this isn’t unique to Duke. Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, UPenn, and Dartmouth accept many legacy/donor types in the early round too. The key driver is that ED apps to Duke went up by 20%, while peer schools saw nowhere near that type of increase[/quote] And the year before, Duke saw a drop in ED apps of 25%. This year's total ED apps for Duke are still less than the record. It seems to me that Duke choosing to accept fewer students than in any of the past five years is a pretty important factor in the "record low" acceptance rate. It's a record low because Duke chose to make it so. Even with the app increase, they could easily have accepted a number similar to past years (880-ish) and ended up somewhere in the high teens.[/quote]
