<p>Some other schools to consider that are medium size, strong academically, less selective than Duke, and in a few cases have good sports programs include Emory, Tufts, JHU, William and Mary, Rice, Case Western, University of Rochester. Maybe Lehigh, Miami, Tulane as well. None of these has a sports program that rivals Duke’s other than Miami, and maybe JHU in lacrosse. You’ll have to screen them to see if they have the look/feel/vibe you want.</p>
