<p>^ pretty much agree.</p>
<p>I don’t have the statistics to say much about Duke’s individual departments, but it definitely is a well-respected school even outside of it’s alum and students, as any number of rankings will testify. </p>
<p>Is the OP still around? I feel like answering “What schools are good for _____ ?” threads would be more helpful to the OP if he/she had other criteria too, e.g. region, caliber, student body, and so on. Because otherwise the answer just tends to be HYPSM… :/</p>
