<p>At Duke, they do a lot worse: 85% vs. about 67%.</p>
<p>Well, you probably have those who dream of becoming doctors and are giving it a shot.</p>
<p>Can’t blame people for trying.</p>
<p>Yeah. Duke’s reapplicants do even worse, 46%.</p>
<p>By the way, these are the sectors that have really gotten pummeled during the transition from premed advisors. Straight-through applicants are actually doing as well as ever; the new team has to learn how to handle alums, though.</p>
<p>Duke’s had a bad couple of years. I’m hoping it’s temporary, but I suspect that it might not be.</p>
<p>46% is almost 50/50.</p>
<p>Gotta go for it if that’s the dream.</p>
