[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but when I hear Duke and Michigan, I just assume the kid didn't get into his or her top four or five choices. I think safety school for kids applying to Ivys and other top schools. [/quote]

You are really stupid.  Duke is ranked ahead of 3 schools in the Ivy League.  [b]Its NUMBER 10 in the country.[/b]  There are only 9 schools ranked higher.  You really sound moronic so I hope you never say this crap n public.[/quote]

Welcome to the real world buddy.  Does anyone really pick Duke over Brown or Dartmouth?  Not in the DMV.

Duke is a backup for kids who did pretty well. Didn't get into Princeton, Penn, Dartmouth, or Northwestern?  Then Duke. Better than ending up at Emory or Vanderbilt. That's where the kid goes that didn't get into Duke.

This is silly.  Again. All these Duke hater/experts who probably have never actually faced these decisions about which they speak so authoritatively.  I personally picked Duke over Northwestern and Penn in 1997.  At that time, Duke was ranked higher than both those schools (and Brown and Dartmouth, which are both great schools).  I’m not sure what the rank is now but let’s just say it’s 10 as other posters claim.

Why do you care so much?  Meanwhile, babbling PP probably picked Maryland over American....smh [/quote]

Ok. So a quarter century ago you made a decision you now regret?  No one would make that choice today.   [/quote]

Let me ask you. Where did YOU go to college?  Did you go to college?  As for regrets, as I think someone else said earlier, I’ve been pretty happy with the fruits of my Duke degree in my work life.  Sure, my magnets and flags are apparently deficient but my professional life has been pretty sweet.  Ha [/quote]
