Duke Application Increase Stresses School's System

Nearly two decades ago, before Duke had become an internationally renowned research institution, the University crafted a personalized admissions process to evaluate prospective students.

Designed to handle 12,000 applications, the model entails multiple readers, a preliminary rating system, a committee session to discuss applicants and a final review process.

Now, with 26,731 high school seniors applying to the Class of 2014, the system is beginning to show signs of strain.
