<p>I was accepted EA to Notre Dame and RD to Duke. I absolutely love the atmosphere and community of ND . . . it felt like home to me. However, I plan on going into the medical profession and people have been telling me Duke is the place to go. I was completely set on going to ND, but now I'm starting to feel like I would miss an opportunity by not going to Duke. Does anyone have any advice for me?</p>
<p>I don't know anything about the medical programs at either but you'll be at a great place wherever you choose. That is a great accomplishment getting into these two great schools and congratulations!</p>
<p>Congratulations on getting into two such prestigious schools! A friend of mine is actually facing the same dilema; he plans on attending medical school and got into both Duke and ND. From what he has told me he is leaning towards Duke because he thinks it is a better fit for a future in medicine, he thought that Duke had better opportunities. But, this was mostly just his opinion ... I don't think you can make a wrong decision, both schools are amazing, choose where you felt most at home!</p>
<p>I would recommend pm'ing PrincessND; she just graduated from ND and is currently enrolled in med school. She'll have the answers you need.</p>
<p>Wow! congrats on both ND and Duke. Obviously I'm more biased towards Notre Dame :D but both seem like fantastic schools!</p>
<p>Super congratulations Kacy! Two wonderful options.
Have you visited Duke and spent time there?</p>
<p>I have not visited Duke, but from what I have read, there is a distinctly different atmosphere there compared to ND. </p>
<p>Do you like the single sex dorms at ND, and the religious atmosphere at ND?</p>
<p>If you haven't visited Durham, a visit is in order !
Good luck to you, and keep us posted!</p>
<p>Can't go wrong with either. </p>
<p>Of course, I would choose ND.. but thats just me</p>
<p>If you felt like home at ND, id go there</p>
<p>you aren't going to receive a better education at Duke, and not necessarily a better one at ND</p>
<p>Go where you feel the best. </p>
<p>There is like a 20 page thread about PRe-med at Notre Dame</p>
<p>take a look at that thread, and see what you think... Ill search for it and post it for you.</p>
<p>Good Luck with your decision</p>
<p>Here you go bud </p>
<p>Definately visit--if you have not already. And carefully compare both schools! Good Luck and congratualtions!!</p>
<p>Thanks for that link Tim! And thanks everyone for your input! I have not visited Duke yet, but plan to soon. I doubt that any school's atmosphere can compare to ND's though.</p>
<p>SouthMom- I do like both the single sex dorms and the religious atmosphere, although I am not extremely religious I can still sense the serenity and spirituality there.</p>
