Pratt vs Trinity

Colleges and Universities A-Z Duke University

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>I'm still very undecided about which field I want to go into, so it's really up in the air for which of the two schools I'll be applying to. That being said, it's only natural that I try to improve my chances due to the high amount of competition at Duke. Does one of the two schools have a history of allowing more students, at a lower range (i.e. not the best of the best, but still good) into Duke? (At Pratt I would be maybe top 65%, but at Trinity I would be top 80% according to CollegeBoard's SAT/ACT.)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance, and I look forward to applying,
Romanian</p>

<p>I don't think any difference would be that significant. I know that we (Pratt) usually have higher test scores (my year our average SAT math and verbal were both higher than Trinity, take that non-engineers!) but that isn't everything.</p>

<p>bad idea to try and play the numbers game...will probably show on your application. just be honest.</p>
