I’m a recent Duke Alum and the engineering schools that I think has the most similar vibe to Duke is Rice. Rice is known for offering an incredible residential experience and is very undergraduate focused. It is also located in a temperate climate and Houston has a growing tech community. That being said, Rice is nowhere near as geographically diverse as Duke. NU would be more similar in that regard. Of the Ivies, I would apply to Harvard, Penn, Columbia, and Princeton. My final list would include Stanford, MIT, Northwestern, Duke, Vanderbilt, and Rice. WashU and Yale are just too weak in engineering to merit serious consideration I would think.

Go Blue Devils! :)
