[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is at Duke and he absolutely loves it!  He applied ED to Duke for its outstanding BioMedical Engineering Program. However, Duke ECON students are highly recruited and Sanford is widely known in the political science and policy circles.  Plus there is a BIG difference going to class on a spacious, beautiful campus rather than the inner-city of Philadelphia.  Cornell has a very nice campus, as well, but Ithica is nothing special and is in the middle of no where.  Durham isn't a booming city either, but the whole technology triangle area is rapidly growing.  [/quote]

+1 My kid is a junior and he totalllly loves Duke! Public policy is ranked #1 nationwide. Econ dept is highly ranked too! If you sure abt Duke then go for ED!! Penn is great too, slighlty easier admit than Duke[/quote]

Other than the joke Niche rankings, I don’t see Duke ranked #1 for public policy.  It’s also not top ten for Economics either.  Stanford is better than Duke in just about every comparable discipline.  [b]Why do Dukies always overrate the academics of the school?[/b] [/quote]

Seriously, it is overrated[/quote]
