<p>“Comparing Cal undergrad to at top private undergrad is a waste of time,”</p>
<p>PA of Berkeley 4.7</p>
<p>PA of Duke 4.4</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess I agree.</p>
<p>“If the OP loves Duke that much and his family can easily afford to send him there, then that is the right choice. Best of luck at Duke!”</p>
<p>Agreed.</p>
<p>So after discussions with parents, I’ve realized I’ve exaggerated my financial situation. When I first made this thread, I thought I was in much worse situation. Although $200,000 seems like a lot to some, to me and my family, it’s not so bad thanks to my mom and dad’s hard work. Thank you for your inputs guys, as it is important to discuss such a decision that will heavily impact my life. I know I’ll love Duke-it’ll worth the money. Go Blue Devils and Go Bears (my bro goes there haha)!!!</p>
<p>lol I’m in the same situation, but Duke’s cost is a (REALLY) big problem for me. Think I’ll go to Cal. </p>
<p>But have fun at Duke! 
I loved everything about it when I visited. Who knows? Maybe I’ll be asking you “what if” in a few years :)</p>
<p>Best of luck at Duke-it ia a fantastic school with school spirt and a campus that is among the best in the country. Duke is well worth the money.</p>
