"I think it's a good check for all schools to do. I think we all have to take a look at what we're looking at when we admit anyone," said student Kara Kalinksi.
Recently, the FBI charged 50 people for using bribes to get children into colleges, including Wake Forest. Investigators claim parents paid big bucks to either hire people to take tests for their children or work with coaches to pretend their children were sports recruits.
"So it's disappointing, but I wouldn't say it was surprising for me," said student Brodie Craig.
So far, Duke has gone through the past four years and haven't noticed any discrepancies. However, administrators will continue to go back in time and search. No word on how far back they'll search.
President Vincent Price told The Chronicle he's confident everything will turn up clean but wants to verify his trust.
The FBI has neither contacted Duke University nor implicated the school in the scandal. Duke administrators say their self-audit is only a precaution.
