EAD, stop it already. The fact that Goldman Sachs is the top employer of Duke students this past year means nothing other than a lot of Duke students wished to work in that field. But it doesn't mean that Duke is "better" than anyplace else. Frankly, it's depressing to think that all some people care about is working for GS and similar places. In the real world, Duke and Michigan are both incredibly well respected, and the decision comes down to personal fit and preference and little more. I think you're going to be very surprised when you get out there and people don't bow down to your Duke-ness like you think they will. The first day of your first job ... where you went to school won't even matter anymore.
