braaap…you should start your own thread with that question, rather than take away from this one.

But… The thing that makes Duke a good school is the same thing that makes Dartmouth, Penn, Brown, and Columbia good schools since they are almost identical in terms of academics/student strength/prestige. Its just that Duke is warmer and has a strong social scene with prominent sports such as basketball. So thats the WOW. Same reason people choose Stanford over Yale.

Vanderbilt is OK too, but I don’t categorize it with any top 10 schools.
