Do you have any empirical basis for this assertion? Or are you just divinely intuitive?

The Duke=DBag stereotype actually works out well for Duke. Because it removes all of the people who are dumb enough to believe it. I wouldn't want to go to school with anyone like that anyway.

And by the way, Penn (and most other top schools) have their fair share of the exact type of person that people stereotype as a Duke DBag - Duke has far from cornered the market on them.

I mean, where did Trump (and his kids Beavis and Butthead) and Musk go to school?

You: sigh, more stereotyping of duke students?

Also you: Penn has douchebag students

I am saying that every school has them so stop just pointing at Duke. Clearly you didn't go to either school as you are not smart enough to understand this.

Ohhhh good one…

You: whoops, got called on my hypocrisy

Also you: better hurl an insult…

Stay classy San Diego

It is so sad that rather than trying to share knowledge and experience with others, people come here to insult others, nit pick and for pathetic little power trips.

Yet you are the one obsessed with DBags.

Both schools are incredible. Like any large group of people, both have many different people including plenty of menschs and plenty of DBags. In the grand scheme of things they aren’t that different. But the campuses are different, the political climate is different, the size is slightly different, urban/suburban is different.

I insulted no one. I also insulted no schools.

You insulted me.

And you (or perhaps someone else) said Duke is overrun with DBags. That is insulting.

Parroting back a summary of what you've said is not insulting you. It's fact and you're opinion is that it was an insult. The only way it is so, is if you're insulting others (students at Duke, my intelligence, etc.).

I have never insulted any student at any school and did not post the Duke-student insults.

It's a fact that all Duke students and alums are DBags? Really? I have no loyalty to the school and I think that is an ignorant, childish, low class, mean thing to say (in addition to being incorrect).

My children and I are patients of several doctors who are Duke alums who is the kindest, smartest, most compassionate, down-to-earth human being I have ever met. So I do take this very personally.

But you generalize some more.

Also, it's your, not you're. I will hope that is a typo and not you further advertising your (or you're?) ignorance.

Good point. Duke's long-time Dean of Admissions retired after last year and there is an interim in place right now. My guess is that Duke is punting on a decision for now and will let the new Dean decide. My guess is that they will get rid of test optional, but who knows. But for this year's applicant, it is a difference.

Duke also has the Glimpse video in its app (I think that is the name) - it isn't required but it is kind of encouraged. Does Penn have that? I think it is a horrible idea. I'm all for getting to know applicants better but it adds a huge level of stress to an already stressful process, and it further emphasizes Type A, very pointy kids over nice, well-rounded kids who might not be fully formed socially at the age of 17 who used to be more prevalent at these schools.

A potentially important difference: this coming year Penn is test required while Duke is still test optional, meaning Duke is going to attract many applicants with relatively weak SAT/ACT who self-select out of applying to Penn.

But you should ED (if you would be totally happy there) at the school that is more likely to produce an admit.

I think that's Penn.

Except that’s not true at all…the closest that exists is Parchment which isn’t statistically significant (which in itself indicates it’s an odd choice) but what exists shows kids pick Penn 54% of the time

The spring time at Duke is fantastic, Sarah Duke Gardens are remarkable. Don’t see much overlap with Duke and Penn. Very different viibes. Brown and Penn seem more compatible.
