<p>Seems like Duke is becoming increasingly popular nowadays, and is rising extremely quickly in both selectivity and rankings. They have a monopoly over the South, the best college basketball team in the country, and are winning more cross admits at the top colleges. Do you guys think Duke will catch up to Harvard in the near future? And assuming Duke reaches Harvard’s level, do you think it can then reach and surpass Stanford and MIT?!</p>
<p>And no, I'm not trying to give Byerly an aneurism. :)</p>
<p>"And assuming Duke reaches Harvard's level, do you think it can then reach and surpass Stanford and MIT?!"</p>
<p>My friend, this is the dumbest statement on this site. Are you trying to aggravate anybody? Who said that Harvard is less than Stanford or MIT? </p>
<p>I`ve heard enough from you about how Stanford is greater than Oxford. You have no reason for what you say. Please, get off this site.</p>
<p>Everybody else, please let this thread die. Don't answer.</p>
<p>ubermensch, quit toying with NYCFan. Father Nature, aka Byerly, don't play.</p>
<p>Lol, it's so patently obvious that ubermensch wanted to provoke the wrath of Byerly. Where is that guy anyway? Harvard is being attacked! Gotta save the Crimson! Hurry!</p>
<p>Posting over on the Dartmouth board.</p>
<p>Duke is already just as good as Harvard -- it will just never have the prestige</p>
<p>Never .</p>
<p>to the contrary Duke is my #2 choice, I plan on running for political office and MA tends to curse politicians from tha state.</p>
<p>The toughest schools to get into in order are:</p>
<ol>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Cal Tech</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
</ol>
<p>hey i normally post over on the transfer board but ive been reading and noticed the whole byerly thing. i know this has been pointed out before, but why is it that futajalon only posts regarding byerly, knows what hes doing at all times, his entire life history, has a similar style, and is never responded to by byerly? last time i saw this brought up, futajalon sorta brushed it off, but im really curious here.</p>
<p>May Be They're The Same Person !!!! <em>gasp</em>***</p>
<p>maybe futajalon has a crush...</p>
<p>im a proponent of the same person theory
this dude has spent so much time alone in front of a computer that he needs to create another persona to converse with in order to feel like he has social contatc</p>
<p>According to that theory, YOU and Futajohn (sp?) must be the same poster!</p>
<p>byerly, shouldnt you be looking up articles in the yale daily news instead of sqyabbling with a teenager? stay true to your purpose in life: to provide useless information and embarass harvard by relentlessly insisting its better than any other university</p>
<p>I was just thinking about how funny it would be if Byerly ended up being the interviewer of one of the people bashing him. So, I guess, note to the bashers:</p>
<p>If your interviewer says, "Hey, you ever go to Collegeconfidential.com?", then definitely say, "no, what's that?"</p>
<p>haha, or maybe byerly would inundate his interviewee with all the ratings and articles he has accumulated over the years</p>
<p>It might not be hard to tell if you're lying or not, considering the amount of identifiable information some people post here.</p>
<p>No, seriously though, guys. Cut Byerly some slack.</p>
