When (if ever) do you think Duke will catch up with HYP?

The two C’s are gaining quickly on Stanford in terms of student body and faculty and given their locations in NYC and Chicago it would not be surprising if they equal and surpass Stanford in a few years.

<p>Maybe. But talk about enrollment yield. How many cross-admits of Duke and Stanford who would rather end up at Duke than at Stanford given both schools would cost the same? I guess not many. On the other hand, Stanford steals a lot of HYP admits. Stanford even wins against Princeton and Yale in the cross-admit battles. Only Harvard beats Stanford in that area. If Duke can have 40% yield among the Stanford-Duke cross admits, it can be a Stanford peer. Until then, Stanford is in a league above Duke.</p>
