<p>If you went to Duke, you would know that’s not even close to true. I’d guess something like 5-10% of the student body goes into i-banking. It’s quite funny that there is universal disdain for Duke on this site even though I’m sure the student body closely resembles that of many private institutions. I guess the thing that differentiates it is basketball. Quite funny if you ask me. You guys hate it so much that you have to spell it in a manner to compare it to feces. And people wonder why Dukies seem to be extra sensitive on this site; it’s clearly in response to the rampant animosity brought up by other posters. Duke certainly isn’t the best school the nation. But it’s certainly among the top 15 or so and Duke students are by and large hardworking, respectful individuals with a student body closely resembling that of UPenn, for example. Why isn’t UPenn as hated? It’s quite an interesting question…</p>
<p>Clearly, the writers of the GQ article are Yalies. Brown, Harvard, Princeton on the list but no Yale? I found the GQ article humorous as it’s not supposed to be taken seriously.</p>
<p>And having said all that, this thread doesn’t serve much of a point rather than a way to put down other schools’ student bodies. Doesn’t seem like a great exercise to me.</p>
<p>And quite a shock that somebody at Chapel Hill thirds the Duke suggestion. I would have never guessed that! I’m sure there is no bias in that response.</p>
