<p>When I was choosing schools and got into Duke, Berkeley left my radar immediately.</p>
<p>Although Duke doesn’t have an undergraduate business school, notice that MOST of the top schools don’t (in fact, the only one that does is Penn - Wharton).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Graduate departments do not correlate to undergraduate departments. Duke’s undergraduate education is top-notch across all fields. That’s a reason I chose Duke, actually, over Cal. At Cal, it can be a pain switching majors, dealing with administrative stuff, etc. Those are problems a Duke student just doesn’t encounter.</p>
<p>

<p>Duke’s network is global. If you want a job in the SF area, going to Duke is not going to stop you. In fact, I have many friends who are graduating this year who are going to be working at consulting firms or other high-tech firms in silicon valley.</p>

<p>This tends to be the “tiers:”</p>

<p>[Duke</a> University | Student Affairs | Career Center | Business and Finance](<a href=“Duke Student Affairs”>Duke Student Affairs)</p>
<p>The TOP firms recruit at Duke. I had friends as early as freshman and sophomore year who had internships at some of these firms.</p>
<p>Add all this plus a more intimate education, the beautiful campus, and the school spirit, Duke wins :).</p>
