starbucksguy,

You are still in high school. How do you know they got “fine series in corporate finance, investments, financial engineering, and accounting”?? By looking at their website? Since it’s probably safe to assume courses are fine at Duke, let me put it this way: how do you know they are so fine that one should choose Duke over Stanford even though Stanford’s econ program is widely considered as one of the top-5 programs?



…Stanford does not have any depth in these offerings.

http://www.stanford.edu/dept/registrar/bulletin/bulletin05-06/pdf/Economics.pdf
Management Science and Engineering;

Looks like lots of depth to me. FYI: both departments are top-5 programs. Oh, I actually took a course in that department instead of just looking at the department’s website.



IF you want to work in the east, Duke is a better name



I grew up in Asia and lived in New England, Chicago, and St. Louis before I came to California; my experience tells me Stanford has better name anywhere. That answers bluedevilmike’s question. :)
