just a commenti

i always never knew that duke was competitive to get into...when i was young i would always associate duke with being a basketball powerhouse...and that's all i would think of...i always though that the academics went to harvard and yale...even now...i have some doubts about how duke compares to yale...nevertheless...i love duke...i was just wondering what the difference is between duke and yale...and why is duke so prestigious...

-top academics for undergraduate and graduate and top athletics program.

-Excellent placement into graduate/professional school, Wall Street, consulting, non-profit, government

-Alumni in the upper-echelon in every aspect of society (business, government, law, etc)

It's really not that hard to see why its so prestigious


P.S. And all of this achieved while being less than 100 years old (as the Duke that we know)
