In order to apply for admittance, your high school GPA and your class rank (where you were in your class) are both recommended. In addition, you will need to provide your high school transcripts and your standardized test scores, such as those from an ACT or SAT. (Check with the admissions office to see which tests are acceptable.) If English is not your primary language, it is recommended that you take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and submit the results with your admissions application.

Of those who applied to the school, 24% were admitted. There are currently 13,124 students enrolled in the Duke University. The school is associated with the United Methodist church.
