<p>Duke is the only US New top 10 school that admits “student-athletes” with sub-900 SAT scores. Also, it is the only one known more for basketball (and more recently, lacrosse) than academics. The face of the university is not the President, an accomplished alumnus/a or a Nobel Prize winning professor (there is only one but he is not usually on campus), but a coach. That’s all pretty “special,” don’t you think? Go Blue Devils!!!</p>
