DUKE'S Waitlist

<p>Does anyone know the size of Duke's waitlist this year?? Also, how deep did Duke go into their waitlist last year?</p>

<p>I heard Duke takes about 80 kids per year off a waitlist size of roughly 1000</p>

<p>Duke has started pulling from their waitlist - at least for Pratt. My son was called on Friday (4/27).</p>

<p>^Is he going to Duke now or sticking with his original choice?</p>

<p>I also got admitted off the waitlist on 4/27 into Pratt</p>

<p>Are you coming to Pratt then?</p>

<p>maybe</p>

<p>How long does Duke give you to respond to an offer of admission from the waitlist?</p>

<p>Not sure yet, he’s waiting to hear about FA. You get about a week to decide.</p>

<p>I got a call today too and they’re pulling 50 students off the waitlist before May 1. Admitted into Trinity.</p>

<p>Are you considering Duke or sticking with your original favorite?</p>

<p>How did they inform you?</p>

<p>they called and then they emailed. formal admit pack will come in a couple of days</p>

<p>They called me. It really depends on financial aid - if they give me a better package than Dartmouth, I’ll have to consider it, but we’ll see! :)</p>

<p>They send an email to uncommitted admitted students this weekend that they had over 1400 students already enrolled. Thus, they will pull from the WL.</p>

<p>my uncommitted son did not receive an email this weekend.</p>

<p>What’s the target enrollment size??</p>

<p>“The Office of Undergraduate Admissions accepted 3,105 applicants, bringing the regular decision acceptance rate to 11 percent, the University announced Thursday. The students were selected from a pool of 28,909 regular decision applicants. Duke saw a total of 31,600 applicants across the early and regular decision cycles—6 percent more than last year. The target class size for the incoming freshman class is 1,705 students, with a projected yield rate of approximately 45 percent”</p>

<p>If they are looking to enroll 1700 students, and they’ve enrolled 1400 up to this point, is it plausible to expect roughly 200 to get off the waitlist?</p>

<p>Haha you forgot that most people commit on the last or second to last day</p>
