[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say if you can afford it go for Duke! The degree will pay for itself and open doors and opportunities [/quote]
How would an undergraduate Econ degree from Duke pay for itself?

Harvard or Stanford and some of the other Ivies I'd understand, given the kid is willing to work 60-80 hours per week in finance or consulting firm for a few years. Such a job is no way a guarantee from Duke.  [/quote]

Nothing is guranteed from nowhere.

Duke is also top destination for the top finance and consulting firms.

Nothing is guaranteed but its much more likely from Harvard and Stanford than Duke.[/quote]

Yes Harvard kids get picked more, but what's your definition of 'much more'?
Top consulting and finance firms don't just go to top 3-5 schools only.
Duke is one of the top recruiting destinations for those firms - so called a target school a tier right below the highest tier with Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and UPENN Wharton (maybe Stanford).  [/quote]
