A question for loyal duke fans/ applicants!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Duke University

<p>If you are placed on the waitlist on March 31st, would still hope for Duke to perform well in the NCAA Tournament?</p>

<p>From what I have heard, an early loss in the tournament can decrease a college's yield. You can also comment on the validity of the previous statement if you wish.</p>

<p>So, is "getting into" your dream school more important than how well your favorite bball team performs? If so, to what extent? Would you actually start to hope for a poor tournament performance?</p>

<p>I just hope I do not end up on the waitlist :(, than I will be faced with the above dilemma.</p>

<p>If you really like duke you will cheer for it no matter what</p>

<p>um.. no, theres still the issue of getting in, otherwise it's best to move on and cheer for your actual school</p>

<p>@reap, but what if its your dream college?</p>

5

<p>Hopefully I'll get in, because I have Duke going pretty deep into the tournament...</p>

<p>EDIT: And that statement is absolutely true; March Madness has a big effect on decisions.</p>

<p>Just look at Georgetown. It exploded after Patrick Ewing came by.</p>
