That’s nuts

Why???

Think about it, if you already skimmed the cream of the crop to attend your engineering school, why would t you expect kids to do well?
It's not a state u ranked 200+ where if you graduate hs with a 3.0 you can attend and even major in engineering/cs. Duke engineering has smart, highly driven students, why wouldn't that continue in college?

Lol give me a break it’s ranked 20th in engineering. Far better and more comprehensive schools for engineering.

Duke doesn't look too impressive here. Below UMD, one above Ohio State.

usnews "ranking" is not the ranking of the quality of the students. Duke students (and harvard students which also ranks low on engineering) are among the best in the country. There is no comparison between the average engineering student at Duke (or ivies with Engineering) and the average UMD or Oh State student. Any professor who has taught at both will tell you. Duke and its peers do get the cream of the crop don't be ridiculous.

I don’t think even OP really cares about who ranks where for engineering. They were simply asking about being a premed engineering major. Get over it, doesn’t matter for the question or for med school admissions. They aren’t impressed by it.

Agreed rankings are important but certainly not everything. But, when you add where top engineering employers go to find grads - tells more of the story.
