Here are a few points to consider:

1. Every year, the UCs raise tuition, particularly for OOS. Many programs for vets and others are eliminated. The vet program requires CA residency, which is getting harder and harder to show. If you choose Berkeley and tuition continues to rise at the same rate it has risen for the last 10 years, and you have to pay OOS tuition, where would you rather be?

2.Better networking opportunities at Duke, as Duke students have more $ and better networking connections coming in.

2. Cal has more diversity regarding income.

3. Duke has more geographical diversity.

4. Duke has a better career counseling department.

5. Both are great schools. Ignore the rankings and chose based on where you will be happy.
