what is easier to get into… Duke or Penn ED…

I know the % rate is almost equal but I am wondering as to academic, ec, reccs and other qualfications that these two schools consider to make one easier than the other.

For example, personally, I am not an athlete and I am not sure if that can hurt me when it comes to the Division I, top athletics, Duke. I was wondering if one school has a lower range of SAT, gpas, etc… than the other school when it comes to EARLY DECISION.

thanks…

<p>i think it depends on where you live. My cousin is from the south and she was rejected from duke rd but accepted into penn rd.</p>

<p>Im from NJ and I am also asian-indian. i think academically, ecs, standardized tests... I fit the quota of both schools. But I need to apply to one EARLY DECISION. So its really important that I gather some ED news about these two schools.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>there pretty similar. Pick the school that you like more and could really see yourself going to for four years and apply to that one. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yea thanks a lot for your advice. Personally, I like CAS, but I am curious as to if it easier to get into than the others. That is, though Penn says their ED rate is 34%, is it actually higher for ONLY the college of arts and sciences (CAS)..??</p>

<p>Not being an athlete will definitely not hurt you at Duke. I think Duke and Penn are very similar admissions-wise; a couple of my friends were accepted to both Penn and Duke. I'd pick the one you like more- I don't think one will be easier than the other.</p>
