<p>My comment was not in any way a sign of arrogance. I was simply telling the op that if he is undecided and has only a short time to make a decision that he/she would not go wrong with a Harvard education. Please do not take any kind of arrogance from that.</p>
<p>A.B. Duke is an amazing opportunity very few get the chance to even look at. It is awesomeness and beyond. If I were you I would be eating the offer out of their hands :D</p>
<p>This thread is from 2008, so presumably the OP has already chosen between Duke and Harvard and nearly completed his/her freshman year at one of them. Not sure why/how this post got brought back up a year later …</p>
<p>Well now, here’s a mystery. I wanted to know the end of this story, so I clicked on MysticCrusader’s name to look for subsequent posts. I found that on 04-30-2008 in a similar thread on the Duke board, s/he posted “Thanks everyone! I think Duke it is.” Then, on 05-22-2008, in response to a thread seeking advice on essays, s/he appended “Btw, I got into Harvard, MIT, UPenn, etc.” If s/he was headed to Duke, I doubt s/he’d have omitted it from her/his shared list of acceptances. So, where did MysticCrusader wind up?</p>
