That assumes that Duke shares a large overlap with those colleges, which is probably not the case. For example, I only applied to Yale of those five, and it was lower on my list than either my top choice (Chicago, to which I was admitted), Hopkins, or Duke.</p>
<p>Duke does not release its CIRP/HERI survey, but Cornell reports that it was the first choice for ~70% of students and second choice for another 18%. USC reports that it’s first choice for 65% and second choice for another 25%. I’d imagine Duke is fairly similar.</p>
