[quote=Anonymous]There are certain circles where UVA is more impressive than Duke....

Not kidding. Among certain segments of old money southern families, UVA is very desirable. Duke less so (school filled with damn Yankees).

On a more serious note, Duke has the advantages that comes with being a well-endowed private institute, but if the differential is full tuition versus in-state at UVA, UVA is no brainer. Unless you genuinely won't notice the difference in the bills, go for UVA. If you're lucky enough to easily pay the extra tuition, let the child pick between the two. I don't think Duke is any better in terms of prestige or opportunities for a kid who's capable enough to get into both colleges.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are crazy to choose Duke or UVA resident UNLESS $40K per year after-tax means NOTHING to you.[/quote]

Blowing the money is worth the envy that Duke sticker on the BMW stokes in families at the country club, colleagues at the office, etc.[/quote][/quote]
