<p>I’m sure he chose Duke. A free education at a great school is silly to turn down, unless you’re very wealthy.</p>
<p>Bump. I want to know where the OP decided to attend.</p>
<p>DUKE. I personally just don’t like Harvard UG very much so thats definitely biasing my judgment but I don’t think any school is worth the 200k over Duke. Duke will give you all the same opportunities and will probably be a TON more fun too.</p>
<p>Ireed87, what did you decide??? (PLEASE SAY YOU CHOSE DUKE!)</p>
<p>Paul26–you say everyone in the northeast is judgmental . . . and you’re not???</p>
<p>Congratulations lreed87 on getting the most prestigious admission/awards! I can imagine what a difficult decision that would be, and I would lean towards Harvard too, but on serious consideration, 200 K is a lot of money when u can get almost same education for free, someone like u can probably go to harvard for graduate study!</p>
<p>Also it will be very helpful if u can post ur stats please as I am seeing if I can apply for BN Duke scholarship!</p>

<p>I don’t know if you’re aware of this or not, but one requirement is residency in either North or South Carolina…Students from other states are not eligible. While top stats are important, I think extracurriculars are heavily weighted. Check out the webpage for profiles of previous BN Scholars: [Benjamin</a> N.

<p>Duke sounds like a better choice to me</p>
<p>Duke all the way baby!</p>
