[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most parents I know feel like no one ever gets in w/o being a recruit, so it's not worth the time to do the application.  [/quote]

Yale just announced a record high applicant pool at nearly 50,000 RD apps, and Duke and Yale have about the same acceptance rate. Wonder why Yale wouldn't have experienced a drop in applicants too.[/quote]

Duke is in the south which is MAGA - supremacist country.

Yale is in Connecticut, which is fine.[/quote]

Duke itself is quite liberal, but I imagine some people are turned off by North Carolina's politics. New Haven is not a fun college town though.[/quote]

No, New Haven is no one's idea of paradise.

And the research triangle - Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, NC State - is quite liberal.

Not sure why exactly Duke experienced the drop in applications. But don't think it's politics or region. It might very well be that Coach K is no longer there. For real.[/quote]

Duke basketball is still top 10 in the nation, and they have the #1 recruiting class for next year though. But agreed Coach K is a celebrity. Perhaps Duke needs to get a national championship with their new coach to build the notoriety around their program again.[/quote]

With all due respect, most teens today have no idea who Coach K is.  [/quote]
