Both are good and comparable colleges but you seem very excited about attending Duke. Unless Vandy is offering enough money to make the decision easier, go with your heart. There isn’t enough difference between the two to take heavy debt. Both colleges can take you to medical schools if you work hard so no worries there. You should go to college which makes you happy and enthusiastic about your undergrad experience.
