I came across this and found it pretty interesting. Hope this helps</p>
<p>"Duke enrolls between 75 and 90 percent of cross-admitted students from the third group of top competitors, which includes Cornell, Northwestern and Georgetown."

<p>ur wrong. besides, i don't see why ur showing off ur elitist and snobby attitude about going to duke over cornell or nu, which are still great schools, here on nu board. Even when a hyp admit shows off this kind of attitude, it can get pretty annoying. But, we're talking about duke, not hypsm, buddy. In any case, refer to this chart by ny times:</p>
<p>Whoa relax. I'm sorry if I've come off as "elitist," but I've never said that NU was a bad school. I'm pretty sure if you see my previous posts on this thread, that I've always acknowledged that NU is a good school. I just think that Duke is a better version of NU. </p>
<p>btw. patlees88- not sure who's right or wrong (and btw I didn't make the stat up on my own; it's from a Duke Chronicle article), but anyways, doesn't your data still show cross admits between Duke and NU still picking Duke?</p>
<p>^it does show that duke does a bit better than nu (just a bit), but not with cornell. actually, cornell wins in the cross-admit battle with duke. Besides, in talking about the validity of the both sources, i would argue that the souce i provided is more statistically accurate, bc well, it is published by NY Times and it has no bias towards one school or the other. Your source, on the other hand, is published by Duke, besides, it doesn't show hard stats or extensive breakdown of yield percentages to boot. also, look at georgetown and duke - it's about 50/50. (actually georgetown enrolls more cross admits than duke does....)</p>
