"On Thursday evening, 875 high school seniors will find out that they are the first members of Duke University’s Class of 2022.

This year, 4,090 students applied under Duke’s Early Decision program, a record number and 16 percent more than last year. By applying Early Decision, students indicate that Duke is their first choice, and commit to enroll at the university if admitted.

Students admitted through Early Decision this year will represent just under 51 percent of next fall’s incoming class of 1,720.
