one of the deans […] told me about the Duke thing

I’d be interested to hear this Dean’s affiliation. Not that I think the Dean is lying, but some people have strong incentives to believe that medical school admissions are harder than they actually are. People who run 8-year programs, or people who run overseas medical schools, for example.

And in any case, Duke’s medical school historically has a brutal application with eight or more extremely long, involved essays. If your possibly-44 person blew off the essays (“I got a 44, what is Duke going to do?”), that might explain what happened.
