<p>Haha to be honest objobs, that’s really kinda creepy that you had to quote all of that and it makes it seem as if YOU’re on CC 24/7 not eatsalot. And with my “top 2 rankings” I stressed that it was “personal, just like everyone has their own personal lists for college” and it was just my opinion. </p>
<p>But back to the OP, right now it may not seem like there are many differences between the two schools and it will be tough to decide if you had to decide today. However, once you get admitted to both, I’m sure you’ll be able to make a decision (especially after having done your research through either visits, information sessions, websites, etc.) that will be motivated by major factors such as affordability (FA/scholarships), what you plan to study, travel costs (stanford and duke are on the opposite sides of the country), job/internship/research opportunities etc. Trust me, unlike some of the other posts above may lead you to believe, the determining factor on which college you end up choosing will NOT be based on any rankings. It will be based on solely your PERSONAL views of both schools.</p>
