They have a reputation in the state for bringing in some real spoiled brats who have massive sense of entitlement.

It's not entitlement if you earned it against long odds. Doing that is called accomplishment. Complaining about others' "sense of entitlement" is the way people who weren't willing to work as hard try to devalue the accomplishments of those that were. Otherwise known as sour grapes.

That is an accomplishment and some people do achieve against long odds. A lot of those kids at Duke though have never worked a day in their lives. Not even in the classroom. Were they born to normal backgrounds they wouldn't be at a name school. Duke became a nationally important school because Terry Sanford started a program of targeting and recruiting underachieving kids from extremely wealthy backgrounds. Those students families gave a tremendous amount of money to Duke which allowed it to become the school it is today.
