in NC, UNC-Chapel Hill is probably the 3rd hardest to get in.. behind Duke and Davidson and Wake Forest is comparable

i would have thought Davidson > Duke
Oct 2, 2015, 8:34 AM

for NC..
but several sources suggest that Duke gets a lot more applications.. so it appears more selective
and the freshman profiles suggest very slightly higher test scores for Duke freshmen, but Duke admits athletes with lower scores than Davidson does
i know at least two kids in the last few years who didn't get in Davidson, but got in Duke

I don't know. It's just that I have had a couple relatives go to Davidson. That said, one of them is a die hard Duke hoops fan. He was denied by Duke. He ended up transferring to Duke eventually.

personal perception

certainly matters.
i would have thought Davidson, just from my own knowledge. but objective data shows that Duke is a little bit harder to get in
one of the kids i mentioned above was my niece... i was shocked she didn't get in Davidson but got accepted by Duke..
but she ended up going to Wake as if offered a much better financial aid package (and she loved it and is now working on her masters in Chapel Hill)

UVA is the state school allowing in more kids per year??? Two of my cousins got into UVA and the way they tout that school up there it might as well be Harvard.
They call the campus the "grounds"
Talk about pretentious
