Duke total applicants rise 6% to 31,565

<p>I think the yield has a lot to do with Duke’s southern vibes. Southern schools tend to be associated with backwardness and lack of diversity. At least at the school I go to, not a lot of people would pick a southern school over a northeastern one or one in the west. </p>

<p>I know this isn’t true. Duke, is as diverse as any northern/western school I’ve looked into. Arguably more so. The vibe at Duke is awesome. However, plenty of other people still have this misconception.</p>
