<p>Re: the Duke/Chicago law school debate above: Duke’s student body is at least 15% larger than Chicago’s. So, assuming comparable student metrics (e.g. LSAT) and comparable absolute numbers represented in top law (or other professional) schools, that would tend to show that Chicago is the institution that is held in higher esteem–by roughly 15%. And please note, I am not a Duke-hater in any fashion–it is one of our nation’s (and thus, the world’s), very finest institutions of higher learning. It just seems important to challenge baseless statements with facts and logic.</p>
