Wait List Acceptance Rate

Duke University's waitlist acceptance rate for the application year 2024 is 8.8%, with 1,000 applicants offered a place and 88 ultimately accepting the offer. This marks a significant decrease from the previous year's acceptance rate of 38.1% for the application year 2023, where 1,000 applicants were also offered. In contrast, the acceptance rate for the application year 2025 remains at 88 accepted out of an undisclosed number offered, reflecting ongoing fluctuations in the waitlist process. These statistics emphasize the increasing competitiveness and variability inherent to Duke's waitlist admissions.
