<p>Where do you want to practice & how certain is the “full ride” at Duke? If mid-Atlantic (MD/DC) or SE US, and the money from Duke is pretty solid, I’d go to Duke. If NE, NY, or anywhere-in-US biggest of big law, and/or the money isn’t that certain, Harvard. </p>
<p>IANAL (how many are in this forum?), but I have a difficult time valuing a JD from Harvard as worth additional $120-$150K over the next 3 years vs. Duke.</p>
