Both consider him effectively an alumnus (he goes to reunions and everything) even if hes technically a dropout. @Crusty Dem: @steve: I havent the foggiest what the admissions process at Duke was 31 years ago but 1) Ron Paul was a very junior Representative from Texas at the time; I cant imagine he had much sway at a private medical school in North Carolina and 2) Duke wasnt Duke then; its a much more prestigious school now than it was at the time.

Rand Paul, Uncertified Ophthalmologist? - The American Prospect Dr. Paul was a member of the first class of MDs that would have to re certify every 10 years. Huh. Three years of college was enough and most medical schools they applied to didnt require a bachelors degree.
