<p>lots of northwestern over duke this year</p>
<p>even though i love NU, im kinda surprised by that too. duke seems to have a preference on CC. everyone believes it has more "name recognition" even though the difference is negligible at this high of a level.</p>
<p>I've only seen me and muchwinter as the only ones who have turned down Duke for Northwestern, so it isn't that many people.</p>
<p>Actually 2 more: incidentally and ddzai. But they posted in another thread.</p>
