When it comes to Duke, I hear a lot of information about holistic admissions. So I’m really curious to know as to really how holistic their admissions process is. Thanks
Go to the link below for the whole story but basically Duke’s admissions process is holistic if you can get through the first screening. Essentially the first reader scans your application to see whether or not you are competitive. About half of all applications are cut right there. From that point it does seem to be holistic.
