[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Supreme Court decision has emboldened Whites and Asians to apply to great schools because their race now won’t hurt their admission chances. Also, kids are looking for strong academics, not wokeness gone wrong. That’s why Duke has a surge of ED and Yale doesn’t. Also, folks are tired of NE provincialism. [/quote]

Wrong. ED was always there for rich white kids. It's not like Duke has a large percentage of URMs anyways.

Duke is a T10 school that top students want as their first choice. Not complicated.[/quote]

According to Duke for class of 2027 they were 53% white, 35% Asian, 13% black, 13% hispanic, with 7% multiracial (which is why it adds up to over 100%).[/quote]

35% Asian? Wow. Makes sense, in our Indian circles Duke is very popular.[/quote]

Same with our Chinese friends. More desirable than many ivies[/quote]

Why is that?[/quote]

There must be a Duke intern spamming this board. No one refers to Duke as T10. Many Asians prefer Cornell or Brown to Duke. Both have a better CS programs. Cornell also has better engineering and business programs. Duke is not particularly strong in any subjects. It is in the same league of Vandy and Emory.[/quote]

The entire OP has to be from Duke intern. We’re really supposed to believe that “our counselor” received an email from Duke admissions who shared application numbers, and then that counselor called up OP.

Sounds like some kids are home from college and bored.
