[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke is hands down better than Michigan.  Its not even a contest.  PP, you all are deluisional:

In just one example, and there are many, in the 2020 edition of Best Colleges and Universities, [b]Duke University[/b] is ranked #10 among National Universities, ahead of three Ivies.  [b]Univ Michigan[/b]is ranked much further down at #25 in National Universities, tied with Carnegie Melon.

Additionally, Duke's acceptance rate is 9.86% whereas Univ. of Michigan's is 26.5%.
Duke's average SAT for accepted students is almost 100 points higher than Michigans (1510 v. 1420)

There is just no way anyone can plausibly claim Michigan is more prestigious or the better school than Duke.

This isn’t about rankings. Folks who are Michigan through and through - and there are a whole lot of them - don’t even know Duke exists. Just walk around UNWDC. There’s a Michigan flag and “Go Blue” magnet on almost every block. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Duke signs anywhere...doesn’t mean it’s not a great school, it just doesn’t have the same following.

This is probably the stupidest post trying to prove a school is great.... ever.  Just Moronic. By every measure that is actually relevant, Duke is a superior school. You can have your Michigan flags and magnets. I’ll pick the Duke alum every time. [/quote]

+1 Completely agree.  Duke is an intellectual institution.  UM is a jock school.[/quote]
