<p>Do they rank their waitlisted students? Anyone?</p>
<p>I don’t know the specifics of Duke but I can tell you that most top schools do not rank their waitlisted students. The waitlist is basically for filling gaps. For example, if Duke finds that they have a shortage of enrolled math/science students, they will most likely take a math/science person off the waiting list. On the other hand, if they have a shortage of english/humanities students, they will take an english/humanities major off the list.</p>
<p>If you are looking to do chemical engineering, don’t come to Duke. Duke doesn’t even have a chemical engineering program.</p>
<p>We don’t rank our wait list!</p>
