A Closer Look at Duke's Newest Blue Devils with Ivies Chase You


Duke University's announcement for the Class of 2028 Early Decision (ED) admissions has taken the academic world by storm. With 806 out of 6,240 applicants accepted, the 12.92% acceptance rate is the lowest in Duke's history, highlighting an increasingly competitive landscape. This year's ED pool was not only the largest ever but also marked a significant leap from previous years.



Duke’s got Carolina in its mind! Of the 806 successful Duke Early Decision applicants, 145 of them hail from the Carolinas (Duke looks out for its own — 121 are from North Carolina and 24 from South Carolina!), an increase of 25% from last year, Duke said. 97 students were admitted to Duke through the QuestBridge National College Match program, a non-profit that helps promising students from low-income families apply to top universities, almost twice as many as last year. “That increase is another representation of our commitment to expanding access to a Duke education and strengthening the economic diversity of our student body while maintaining the highest standards of academic excellence,” said Provost Alec Gallimore in a Duke press release about the Class of 2028.

The Class of 2028


Duke's ED admits for the Class of 2028 showcase a commitment to diversity and academic excellence. Highlights include a significant representation from the Carolinas, a near doubling of QuestBridge National College Match program students, and a notable percentage of international students and first-generation college students. Additionally, 35% of admitted students did not submit test scores, reflecting Duke's inclusive approach to admissions.


As Duke looks to the future, the Class of 2028 embodies the university's dedication to fostering a diverse, talented, and dynamic student body, ready to contribute to its vibrant community and uphold its standards of excellence.
