<p>Stanford and Duke differ in terms of selectivity. Stanford is a little more harder than Duke.. Stanford has an admit rate of 12%, while Duke's is 22%. (all from CB online stats). </p>

<p>Stanford is in my college list.</p>

<p>for this past year, Duke's admittance rate was A LOT lower than 22%, wasn't it? personally, i found Stanford's application to be a lot more interesting and unique than Duke's (commonapp), but i don't know if that affects anything =)</p>

<p>Stanford all the way here.</p>

<p>More selective, better programs in a wider field of study.</p>

<p>I would say to get at least a 2200 or so if you are not a recruited athlete/minority/someone important.</p>

<p>Stanford is currently my top choice, but I really doubt I'll get in it with my nonexistent ECs and screwed up 9th grade.</p>

<p>Duke... meh. Don't care about the Carolinas. </p>

<p>And yeah, they're both tough.</p>

<p>Stanford doesn't have interest in your freshmen year - so even if you screwed it - they won't be asking for it (only tenth and up)</p>
