@JenniferClint I do think there is validity to someone wanting to attend Dartmouth (or Brown) because they are undergraduate focused – or because of other fit issues – instead of Duke and the other outstanding schools you mention. Agree that people should not be obsessed with a school being an Ivy. But people also should not be overly focused with a school’s ranking or prestige (lay or otherwise). I understand that Duke is a great school and you support it as an alum, but for some kids Duke would not be a good fit even if they were fortunate enough to get in. But circling back to OP’s question, Duke seems to be the clear choice.
