<p>Based on the UVA Law link, it appears that BYU has more alums enrolled than Duke does. That apparently is evidence that BYU is a better school than Duke, especially since BYU is over a thousand miles away. The “Poets and Quants” data is based on some sort of searches of Facebook and LinkedIn, and not actual school data. Duke’s reputation might be enhanced if some would stop reaching for specious data to advance patently absurd arguments on irrelevant topics. That said, this discussion seems almost rationale compared to @ennis’s (thankfully deleted) Asian-based criticism of Chicago. Duke is great, and people who fit there should go there. But, silly attempts to try and tear down Chicago do nothing to make Duke look better. They probably have the opposite effect.</p>
