[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Dimon and Seinfeld probably spent hundreds of thousands if not millions to buy the acceptances, most of it not publicized or made common knowledge[/b]

But no proof of that.  Neither of those links provided any proof either.  I think it's irresponsible to spread misinformation like that, don't you?[/quote]
