[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Penn's prestige mainly come from their USNews ranking. Same as Princeton when compared with other top schools.[/quote] My typo. I mean Duke's prestige mainly comes from the USNews ranking, not Penn.[/quote] I tend to agree, at least to a certain degree. Duke is very good; however, in the other big rankings, Duke often ends up more in the 15-25 range. This year they are #16 in the WSJ rankings and 17 in the Forbes rankings. Duke is a great school, don't get me wrong, but people should just be sure to know it isn't universally regarded as a top 10 school even by rankers, let alone by lay people who view prestigious colleges in different ways and can skew toward seeing Duke more as a basketball school like Kentucky or Villanova. Looking at the Times Higher Education world university rankings, Duke hasn't been above #20 since 2020 and is #26 in this year's 2024 edition. [/quote]
