@TopTier Bingo! You have more experiences than I do in the working world but it really reinforces the school bias that I’ve witnessed in some firms.
Might I add, once you attend Duke and successfully graduate, “Blue Devil” will be part of your identity for life. It’s fun to hear people refer to you as a “Dukie” or a “Blue Devil” mostly out of jest. You hardly hear people jokingly referencing UMD or referring to it’s graduates as a “Terrapin.”
Just some minor things to consider.
