[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has been committed to Brown but just got off the waitlist at Duke. She’s conflicted because while she would’ve chosen Duke originally, without the Duke acceptance she has grown fond of Brown over the past month. It feels almost back to square one and she doesn’t have long to decide - any thoughts? She’s went to ADOCH at Brown and liked it a lot, but to give her a better sense of Duke we’re planning to let her fly out to Duke last minute for an unofficial visit. She likes the flexibility of curriculum at Brown too but also appreciates the stronger engineering at Duke (plus they have ample flexibility). Any thoughts would be appreciated![/quote]

In my opinion, Brown.

Both schools are great, and engineering grads from either school will have an easy time getting jobs.

But, if Duke is really better known for engineering than Brown, that might mean that the engineering classes at Duke are tougher and more stressful.

Why put up with, say, 25% more stress for the sake of what might possibly be a 2% quality and lifetime outcome advantage?
