In every US ranking: US News, WSJ, Forbes, Washington Post, USA Today and Wallet Hub Duke is ranked in the top 10 while UCB never appears in the top 20. While parchment is hardly an exact science it is representative of student demand with a more than 2:1 ratio choosing Duke who this year had an 8% acceptance rate (once again top 10).

Assuming we are both right should the fact that the OP is From the U.S. Suggest the national surveys are more relevant? If so it isn’t close. I can understand or at least accept your point of view as based on fact if this was an international student, but come on. I understand wanting to win an argument but are you really suggesting within the United States people are counting noble laureates or referencing US News or the WSJ? Are they referencing their own children’s preferences and results or are they taking your word for it?
