Whoa, for no financial aid whatsoever at Duke, I’d definitely lean toward Pitt. Duke is a great school, but it’s not worth that huge price when you plan to go to med school. My advice would be to accept the offer at Pitt (being 3 hours away from home is the perfect distance, trust me), do well there, and aim at Duke for med school. Pitt isn’t on the same level as Duke, but if you do well there, you should have a decent shot at a good many schools (with more money to spend).
