[quote=Anonymous][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]

Then you are pretty narrow-minded.  I got into and visited both Penn and Duke and loved both.  Most people are able to like and appreciate a broad range of options, including colleges.  [/quote]

Not narrow-minded at all.  My kid loved Penn and didn't care for Duke at all...which makes all the sense in the world.  As it would for someone to think the reverse.

Sounds like you cared about rankings, mostly.[/quote]

You said you can't imagine someone who likes one like g the other.  That is narrow minded.  BTW, I ended up choosing a lower ranked state school....[/quote]
