[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your son sounds amazing so congrats on the great options so far! But you have to remember Duke has like a 4% acceptance  rate and that includes the hundreds of athletes, legacies, and big donors who have a backdoor into Duke each year. [b]People like Jamie Dimon, Jerry Seinfeld, etc. are notorious for having paid large sums in the past to get their kids into Duke,[/b] so you can expect similar situations happened this year too. Also Duke is known to take deferrals seriously unlike some other schools so your son still has a decent chance![/quote]

DP.  Any links for the bolded?  I had never heard that before.[/quote]

NP but some quick googling got me: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/business/2012/11/jamie-dimon-tom-brady-hang-in-there
https://www.businessinsider.com/2008/7/jamie-dimon-gave-away-1-8-million-more-than-you-made-last-year?amp

Also Seinfeld was all over the news for like 5 months because media kept spotting him at Duke games, and it’s no coincidence his kids go there. Dimon and Seinfeld probably spent hundreds of thousands if not millions to buy the acceptances, most of it not publicized or made common knowledge
