@2011ivy, based on the previous posts I’ve seen on this thread and your indecision and opinions on what you deem as important, I’d say Duke is a better bet for you. You don’t want “boring” girls. You probably want sports. And Duke does have a name. Trust me; there are people on wallstreet who know the Barnard name very well also. It’s in New York City for crying out loud. And yes, Barnard is Columbia. But if you’re simply one of the people who lives vicariously through the Columbia College student you wished you could’ve been, you would be kicking yourself in the butt that you didn’t go and receive the opportunities of Duke. If you want to go to a women’s college and care that Barnard may not be in the top names in US News and World Report but still has some weight behind the name, then go to Barnard. But I’m not sure that you’re that type of person. If it were me, the answer is obvious: go to Barnard. But Barnard is about fit. Are you fit?
