[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Duke in the mid-90s and there were a few large doubles in my freshman dorm on East (which is now the freshman campus) that were turned into triples - not ideal, but not awful, and the ones I recall were women.

It sounds like this was not just a few but they took quite a few more kids. Duke has really grown its international population in recent years and it seems to be coming back to bite them.

I hate to say it as things will likely change a lot in the next few years, but as the parent of a full pay legacy who will likely be applying ED in a few years, this is not the worst thing in the world for my child's chances.[/quote]

Wow. I guess your Duke education didn’t teach you to think broadly and allow you to understand what is going on with the takeover of education.[/quote]

I did not say I was happy about it. I would much rather my kid didn't get in and Trump was not president and we returned to normal. I was just being realistic and somewhat sarcastic. Some people seem to struggle with nuance. They teach that at Duke - UWC. 8 am. So much fun.

Everyone can be a critic and a comedian when they are anonymous. So sad.[/quote]

Yea it’s wishful thinking on your part too.  You can’t really think that your kid suddenly has an appreciably better chance of getting into Duke because of this year’s
insanity, do you?  Even as a legacy?

Nope. [/quote]

NP: Did they say that? No. Horse is dead. Stop beating it.[/quote]
