<p>hautestandard - I think the overall rate last year was 12% (3753 out of 31500) and so I would think it would still be closer to ±11%.</p>
<p>Duke admitted 753 compared to 648 last year for ED. The yield on ED is close to 95% while the yield on RD seems closer to 35%. So they need about 950+ students in RD and will admit 2700 + students in RD lowering the total overall to 3450. So as the numbers go over 27000 for RD round, the rate keeps dropping under 10% the larger the pool gets.</p>
<p>"Guttentag said the majority of places in the Class of 2017 would continue to be filled by Regular Decision applicants. Last year, Duke received almost 29,000 Regular Decision applications, a record, and this year will likely be as selective to fill the remaining 962 places in the class, he added.</p>
<p>Of those who applied via Early Decision this year, 607 were deferred to the spring Regular Decision process."</p>
