Pratt Question!

<p>Are you bumping it for another reason besides this question?</p>

<p>

<p>In that case, see the Duke admissions site:</p>

<p>[Duke</a> University Admissions: Class of 2013 Profile](<a href=“http://admissions.duke.edu/jump/applying/who_2013profile.html]Duke”>http://admissions.duke.edu/jump/applying/who_2013profile.html)</p>

<p>For class of 2013 overall, Pratt = 20%, Trinity = 15%
For ED, Pratt = 32%, Trinity = 29%</p>

<p>You’ll notice the test scores (specifically, math scores) are higher for Pratt students. It is generally accepted that Pratt’s admissions are more numbers based and predictable, while Trinity admissions rely more on intangibles and are up for chance. So, if you have high test scores / GPA (especially in math and science), your chances of acceptance to Pratt might be a bit higher, but if Duke is a bit of a reach to begin with, Trinity is probably more likely to accept somebody with lower stats (assuming other parts of their application makes up for it). This is probably a bit of generalization, though. You shouldn’t try to game the admissions system - simply apply to which school you’d like to attend. It’s really easy to transfer between the two at Duke (although easier to go Pratt -> Trinity than it is Trinity -> Pratt). Good luck!</p>
