<p>Because admitting 2 in 3 legacies (ED) is still too few…</p>
<p>I’m sorry. Your point is not clear. </p>
<p>How is the admission of legacies negatively impacting the caliber of Duke’s student body? </p>
<p>I think you’re trying to equate legacy admissions with unqualifed admissions. I think you’re failing.</p>
<p>Emory recieved 709 ED 1 applications, which I think is a bit higher than last year because that is what it says on their website… but I think the difference is only by a couple of students… so pretty much the same.</p>
<p>Haverford received 232 ED applications for the Class of 2014. I haven’t been able to locate a comparable figure for the Class of 2013, but that represents a 7.9% increase over their ED applications for the Class of 2012 (from 2008-09 Common Data Set).</p>
<p>They admitted more of them, too: 127 ED admits for the class of 2014, a 54.7% admit rate, as compared with a 50.4% ED admit rate for the class of 2012. At that rate, ED admits will make up nearly 40% of the entering class, up from about 33% in the Class of 2012. That should allow them to be a little more selective in the RD round, and/or cope with a lower yield on RD admits which many selective (and pricey) LACs are bracing for in this tough economy. Glad my D had the good sense to apply ED.</p>
