So happy that no one in this thread has written Dook.

Let's keep it that way.

Unlikely to get into either. If it’s hanging out with wealthy kids in a semi-dangerous area you are after, just apply ED to Tulane and you’ll be all set.

Duke network is vastly inferior to the others you mention. Need to think more broadly. You’re playing small ball.



You are funny! She is studying there and its amazing! How can you judge her experience. I was talking from a personal experiece and vantage point. She chose it after careful considerations. Each to their own


You don’t read well. I didn’t say anything about her experience. She could have an amazing experience at JMU. Great friends, great food in the cafeteria, and a fun social scene. I’m talking about an alumni network. Duke’s is very weak compared to a Penn, Brown and UChicago. That’s a fact. She’ll be at a disadvantage compared to those schools. But maximize, girl!


Duke alumni network is among the strongest. It has a very broad n heavily invested in Duke type of community who really care, and go out of their to be supportive. They are in top strategic influential positions and this is a strong network to tap into and leverage for the duke alumni. I am sure Penn and Brown have too

Go Wharton or go home. In terms of area, both are creepy.

Some in this thread are focusing on the college experience while others are focusing on professional life after college.

+1. We know a few students who have gone to Duke, and we have heard nothing but great things. Granted, everyone does have their own perspectives and experiences. But from what I've gathered, it seems that Duke heavily invests in and prioritizes the undergraduate experience.

Duke

Have you spent any time in the neighborhood Penn is in?
Like after dark?
