Duke referenced qualified as not being rejected in the first read. What criteria admissions is using to determine what leads to a rejection on the first read I’ve never seen presented. Without knowing that who knows if qualified and competitive are synonymous. Duke is not going to accept the top 950 applicants based on stats or ECs. There will be a certain amount of athletes. They are very sensitive to yield and if they put themselves head to head with the top Ivies and Stanford on all accepted applicants their yield will take a big hit. They have to have a detailed matrix on yield based on different types of applicants and between Trinity and Pratt. If you really want to go to Duke apply and hope for the best. If the number that is truly competitive is 19,000 or 10,000 is irrelevant. The competition is intense and nobody knows until they are notified and nobody will be notified if they didn’t apply.
