Don’t make this decision based on a marginal difference in where the departments are ranked. These rankings are often a function of the size of the department and not necessarily of its quality. Schools that employ more professors will have a higher research output and will therefore be ranked higher regardless of whether or not individual professors are more productive. I think you want us to tell you that it’s ok to go to Duke and it absolutely is.
