At a glance

Duke University is a Extreme Reach school on our readiness map — that label describes how demanding the preparation is for international-school applicants, not an admission probability.

Based in Durham, North Carolina (US Top 50, US News 2026 #7 per US News 2026 National Universities), it reviews both AP and A-Level curricula, so the question is not which system you study but how strong your core-subject evidence is.

The benchmarks and admit-case chart below come from anonymized application records of Chinese international-school students, aggregated with percentile ranges to protect every individual case.

Requirements and next steps

Eligibility pending review. A readiness score does not confirm admission eligibility.

Official sources and scope

A current, program-specific policy has not yet been verified here. Do not interpret planning templates as official requirements.

Planning targets are advisory. Historical admits are a selected sample, not admission odds. Program availability, costs and eligibility require separate checks.

Where past admits landed

Not enough complete anonymized data is available to display a chart. This does not mean there are no admitted students.

Case benchmarks (anonymized aggregate)

Median GPA3.92P25-P75: 3.70 – 3.96
Median SAT1550P25-P75: 1500 – 1600
Median AP count9P25-P75: 5 – 11

Ranges use P25/P75 percentiles instead of extremes so a single outlier cannot skew the picture. These cases are not the full applicant population and cannot estimate admission odds.
