You need to relax. This isn't battle. All the kids will find a wonderful school.

Last year the ED rate was 12 or 13%? A big increase from the RD rate of 6%, which is why people try to ED if they can. Why so mean and unhelpful?

RD rate has not been 6 the last few cycles. The overall is 5-6%, including ED.
Duke has told the counselors they expect to release the 16th. They picked that date recently; unlikely it will change. The decisions are basically made—just getting financial aid packages ready

Last year their RD rate was 4% actually

Well now that they’ve confirmed, you know it was only a rumor.

The RD rate is 6 Percent BECAUSE the ED rate is 12 to 13%. if fewer kids applied in ED they would admit less, and those kids would be admitted RD.

A fixed number of kids apply. A fixed number of spots are available. The same number of kids will be admitted.

Is it true that all the recruited athletes are admitted ED? If so, then another reason it's higher than RD.
