| 1. wake forest > duke
That's retarded. They have similar "profiles," but in every category - academic excellence, diversity, student vibrancy, etc. etc. - Duke is much stronger. Why the hell would you ever go to Wake over Duke? I just got back from a BDD and realized how little some of these kids know about the colleges they are looking at. I'm betting this kid is one of them.
2. dartmouth > duke
Yeah yeah makes sense - that's what the numbers from previous years would lead us to expect. But I think Dartmouth's comparative yield over Duke is getting smaller.
3. mit > duke
Makes sense again - but, but, but, I think the marginal difference is shrinking. And there are and have always beeen a number of students who dump MIT for Duke.
4. williams ? duke
Good choice, anyone who isn't afraid of life should go to Duke. Williams is awesome but frankly its for kids who need nurturing.
5. hopkins ? duke
Pff Duke all the way. Even if you are premed. Suicide is the word. |
