[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She will be fine at Duke, many are not like that. Vanderbilt has changed a lot but is still more into looks/greek than Duke. 
Both of those schools have a good percentage of Asians (Wasian mom of Duke 2026) and are not really southern culture, they have too many nerdy types(meant as a compliment). 
Ivies have more asians than D and V and have no slight southern flare, but can still have some clicky girl groups. Same with Chicago. 
 UNC is NOT going to be a fit. UVa and Wake will not work either. Fully avoid SMU UGA AUBurn et al.
Look at William and Mary! Not as intellectually vibey as Duke but is much closer to it than big publics.

W&M is nowhere near as selective as Duke, but the intellectual vibe on campus is at least as strong if not stronger. Duke is still a pre-professional big sports school at heart.[/quote]

NP. 
You clearly do not have a duke student currently or recently. I have two currently. one engineer one english and data science, and I work with may WM students who come to our firm during the summers. Duke is a highly intellectual school based on the students, what they discuss and what happens in and out of the classroom. Duke basketball games get a lot of press but less than 35% of undergrads do the campout in tents thing. Duke students spend a lot of time on studies, many write senior theses and/or are published before graduation. They are highly involved with intellectual pursuits outside the classroom, as well as other activities, very similar to other top-15 schools. Duke is not less intellectual than ivies and certainly not less intellectual than william and mary. [/quote]
