[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke does not cater to nerds. It is not JHU, Emory, or Columbia. The development office is getting the message loud and clear.[/quote] I do think this is true - there's been a ton of pushback. This new Admissions Dean has their work cut out for them. Angry angry alums.[/quote] Wait the alums stopped donating because the student body is getting nerdy and unattractive? Seems shallow. I can understand why alums at Georgetown have stopped donating (due to their dropping their Catholic identity). That seems more legit to me. [/quote] They didn’t. Participation from alums is higher than ever the past two years. Most of the people on here have no recent connection to Duke or they are the bitter alums whose smart but not top 1-2% kids did not get in. [/quote] Just talk at Duke Parents' Committee Luncheons.....there is a lot of chatter.[/quote]
