<p>I apologize for the format</p>

<p>Thanks for posting this data. Do you have any data on how many total people from Duke applied to each school?</p>

<p>From this data, it looks like Duke grads have better showings in med or business school admissions than law school admissions.

<p>Great link mallomarcookie. Question though. The analysis for Duke mentioned how only 25% of graduates go on to professional school so while Duke is a good feeder "students may take their time." I am interested in going to Med school right after my four years at Duke. I'm aware of Duke's amazing Pre-Med advising/education (that's why I applied) but do most go to med school right after undergrad?</p>

<p>Big fall-off at Harvard. A few years ago, there were 72 Dukies there. (third, behind H and Y)</p>

5

<p>Ouch! What caused that? Does it usually fluctuate?</p>

6

<p>Not impressed at all.
Do you have Duke undergrad representation at penn/columbia/nyu/duke law?</p>

7

<p>Could be a common fluctuation. If memory serves, Princeton's number is also notably lower (and Stanford and Penn are much higher).</p>

8

<p>Most likely a common fluctuation.We also do not have all the facts (# of people who applied, average student gpa and lsat). The point I was trying to make was that Duke was in the top 10.</p>

<p>Hello Tryingmybest,</p>

<p>I would say about 80% of my friends went directly to med school. The rest either did research (NIH, Wash U, Duke), healthcare consulting, or were fullbright scholars.</p>
