[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do so many smart rich preppy kids, from California to New Jersey to Florida, want to go to Duke?[/quote] Success begets success, so a top-ranked school attracts kids because of the ranking. Apart from that, Duke has a nice campus (it's what you get when a tobacco/utility baron decides to copy Princeton), a distinguished faculty, comparatively warm weather, and Coach K. I applied there, visited, and ultimately turned it down for another school. The negatives were the campus was too spread out, the frats were seriously obnoxious, and it seemed to be trying a bit too hard to overcompensate for not being an Ivy. [/quote] Also, the law/business/medicine schools there have a strong pull for undergraduates with a pre-professional bent. [/quote]
