<p>You do realize that in general, Duke is thought of as providing better access to Wall Street than Chicago, don’t you? I heard a lot about terrific Wall Street connections for the Duke kids, though Chicago is making a huge stride in this direction these days also.</p>
<p>So as long as you transfer to Chicago knowing what trade off you are making, no problem.</p>
<p>By the way, my son’s goal is to join Wall Street upon graduation. He did not even apply to Duke, so you can guess what was our priority. Even with better access to WS and all, I am really glad that my son is at Chicago rather than Duke, but that’s just our priority: I believe no matter what you end up doing, intellectually grounded undergrad education is priceless.</p>
