Wait Listing

[JustLookin]

<p>I haven’t been able to find Duke’s Common Data Set – maybe someone else can post a link if they’ve found it.</p>

<p>I did come across this 3/28/08 article that makes a vague reference to the waitlist and the class of 2012:</p>

<p>[Duke</a> Offers Admission to 3,342 Applicants](<a href=“http://www.dukenews.duke.edu/2008/03/admissions.html]Duke”>http://www.dukenews.duke.edu/2008/03/admissions.html)</p>

<p>

<p>Guttentag said it’s difficult to predict how many students will accept Duke’s offer of admission, in part because of changes in financial aid practices and early-decision programs at peer institutions.</p>

<p>“There’s a little more uncertainty for all of us this year in predicting the exact number of students accepting our offer of admission. Normally we prefer to admit about 50 students from the waiting list, but we’re less sure this year how many we’ll be able to admit. We might end up admitting a few more but, given the increased response we’ve seen so far to our on-campus programs, we might end up admitting fewer. It’s an interesting year,” he said.
