<p>thanks! thats really helpful!</p>

<p>"Last year Duke admitted 68 engineering students early decision, and Guttentag said admissions officials will be trying to expand that number by 40." ...... :)</p>

12

<p>yes, i like the sounds of that! lol</p>

13

<p>Do you think 40 just this year or over the next couple of years (I hope the former!)</p>

14

<p>i believe the article said expand by 200 over the next 4 years, so i would assume its 40 this year</p>

15

<p>thats some great news! That means that there is about a 50% chance!</p>

16

<p>the wording of the article made it sound like they were expanding the ED acceptee's by 40, but i doubt thats true, they prolly just meant the entire pool of applicants...nevertheless, theyre accepting more so thats always good</p>

17

<p>what do you mean by "entire pool of applicants"? I think I read the article too and it did sound like they wanted to accept more, but not too much, because that may mess up the quality of the pool or something like that.</p>

18

<p>well they could be accepting 40 more of the ED candidates, or they could just be accepting 40 more students who apply regular and early....obviously if they were accepting 40 more from just the ED that would be amazing, and thats what the wording of the article sounded like, but i doubt that they would do that</p>

19

<p>i wish, haha</p>

20

<p>no, they really are accepting 40 more from just ED. their goal is to add 50 total to pratt this year.</p>
