[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem I have with Duke is that its overall departmental rankings are not nearly as high as its so called peers.  A top ten school should be loaded with top ten, even top 20 departments.  Duke is severely lacking in that regard.  [/quote]

Duke law and medicine are both T5. Law and Medicine covers a lot. You should be able to find a lot of sub-disciplines in T10 within law and medicine. Duke Business is T11, should have a lot of sub-disciplines in T10. Duke's BME is T3, public policy T5, environment T5, econ T5, just list a few. [/quote]

Will also add that it has a great statistics department (T10) and nursing program (generally ranked 1-5 for everything). Duke econ students also generally have very good outcomes, and most finance/consulting/etc people major or minor in econ at duke. Their overall engineering program is solid along with their CS department (both are in/around T20). And other programs like Psycholgoy, biology, math, English, etc. are all ranked very well too. [/quote]

So very few top ten programs.  Thanks for confirming. By the way, Duke Econ is not top 5! [/quote]
