@Juvenis: if you are talking about the 3% figure then no. 3% is the proportion of the RD applicant pool that will ultimately enroll at Duke. Put it another way. It’ll only be 3% if every single applicant offered admissions decided to go to Duke. That’s never happened. Duke’s overall yield (both ED and RD combined) is usually in the low 40% range.

A better estimate would be RD admissions rate in the recent years which has hovered just shy of 10% I think and Duke usually doesn’t deviate much from year to year even if the overall long-term trend is downward.
