<p>Duke is a reach; WUStL probably is too (it’s <em>really</em> unpredictable). Wake and Tufts are matches/slight reaches. You’re the first premed I’ve seen on the WAMC threads who realizes you don’t have to major in science-congrats!!! :slight_smile: Duke’s art history program has a strong focus on modern art (the Nasher musuem does too); you may or may not like that.</p>

<p>Reaches: Williams (the BEST for art hist), Swarthmore, Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Stanford, U Penn, Yale, Brown, Northwestern</p>

<p>Matches: Bowdoin, Hamilton, Kenyon, Oberlin, Skidmore, Vassar, Wesleyan, Johns Hopkins, NYU, U Chicago, Michigan, UC Berkeley, UCLA</p>

<p>Match/safeties: U Rochester, Indiana U, U Pittsburgh, Boston U</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply</p>

<p>How is Duke ED acceptance rate? </p>

<p>I didnt think i was even gonna apply, but I visited my Aunt in Charolette, decided to stop by, and loved the campus. Looks like a fun place to be.</p>

<p>It is fun. :smiley: Duke’s ED acceptance rate was 31.3%. The RD rate was 18.6%.</p>

5

<p>Wow. The RD acceptance rate for Duke has really gone down the past years. I remember the RD being at least 23% or higher a year or two ago. But then again I could be wrong…</p>
