[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid really wants engineering, why didn't she apply to MIT or CalTech? That's where hard core engineers go.

Both Duke and Brown are fine schools. Look at the weather and where she'd like to end up. There is some regional bias to all schools. The Research Triangle is a great place to live and work, so if she's interested in working there, I'd choose Duke. If she wants to be in Boston, choose Brown (it's in Providence, but is close to Boston).

Both are great schools. Congrats to your DD!! [/quote]

DD applied to MIT but didn’t get accepted. She didn’t apply to Caltech because she didn’t want to go West Coast for college. Thanks for the feedback, I don’t believe she knows what geography she wants to be in after graduating but I think Duke or Brown would give her access to a wide variety of locations separate from the the geographies of the schools themselves![/quote]

+1 Duke and Brown degrees are very transferrable to essentially anywhere in the country. Maybe some people in the rural Midwestern states who have only heard of Harvard will draw some blanks, but any reasonably-sized city will know what Duke and Brown grads are. Congrats to her![/quote]
