[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it on DCUM there are so many Duke or Penn threads? They are ranked similarly...and that's 1000% where the similarities end. I just don't get it. I see few Duke or Vanderbilt threads, yet seems like those would be two schools that make more sense to choose between. For the life of me, I can't imagine someone who really likes Duke liking Penn and vice versa...and I also can't imagine picking one school because it is ranked #6 vs #7.[/quote] Because they are similar in terms of perceived prestige, just like Vanderbilt is with Emory, Rice, and Washington U. The fact one is urban and the other more suburban (or smaller city) is not as relevant. They also attract a student body that is largely pre-professional and/or from the Mid-Atlantic. [/quote] Emory is not at the same level as those other three... Keep seeing this on DCUM.[/quote]
