Oh my god. I’m sorry, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m getting really sick of this thread. Stanford is an amazing school. Duke is an amazing school. Regardless of which one may be slightly better than the other or equal or whatever, they are both REALLY AMAZING. If you go on an interview and you have either name printed on your transcript, prospective employers will be impressed. When you’re looking at two schools of such caliber, what you REALLY need to do is visit both and see which one you “feel” yourself at the most - which one’s a better fit for you personally. All of these arguments about rankings and whatnot only proves that the two really are quite similar in terms of prestige - if they weren’t, people wouldn’t feel a need to argue. Anyway, that’s just my opinion - I know people who turned down Stanford in a heartbeat to come to Duke, and people who turned down Duke just as quickly to go to Stanford.
