A "Laid-Back" Student Body...?

<p>happymedstudent- I’m assuming you’re joking. :slight_smile: If not, you’re missing that poster’s point. Out of the top schools, it can be argued that no school more closely resembles Stanford than Duke (or vice versa, since the latter is older).</p>

<p>Besides, they’re actually quite similar in numbers. Stanford has an edge in selectivity simply because it receives more [applications</a> per spot](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1062735245-post11.html]applications”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1062735245-post11.html).</p>
