ND has a specific Physics in medicine program, but you can really major in anything and go to med school/dental school as long as you take the pre recs. The sciences tend to grade hard, and physics is a difficult major wherever you do it. For research, the research you get involved in at the university itself will probably be good at either school. Both schools do the work hard play hard thing. Each is a tradition laden program in one sport.

ND is known for being extremely collaborative in relation to its peers (not cut throat at all). The name of your school won’t be what gets you external research/internships in science, the research you do and work you put in will.

You really can’t go wrong. Both schools are great places but have different feels. ND will be more midwestern, Duke Southern/Eastern and a little preppy. I’d take the Duke visit, sleep on it, and go with your gut.
