<p>I know that another thread was posted, but here is an article with exact numbers and more information for prospective students. Gl RDers! :)</p>

Duke received applications from 26,694 high school students this year, 2,795 more than last year—an 11 percent increase, according to figures provided by Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag.</p>

<p>The jump in the number of applicants is smaller than last year’s 17 percent increase, but the Office of Undergraduate Admissions still saw substantial growth in both the early and regular application pools. The University also received 2,012 early applicants—about a 33 percent increase from last year.</p>

<p>“I can only have one theory—it reflects the perception that this is a great place to get an education,” President Richard Brodhead said.
