<p>OK I know this sounds "blasphemous" coming from a loyal Dukie but why would you turn down HYP for Duke? Just curious. I myself turned down Dartmouth back in the day but that's more common I suspect.</p>
<p>Swarthmore, Columbia, JHU, WUSTL, UCLA, Berkeley, USC</p>
<p>go Duke!</p>
<p>I know of this girl who turned down Harvard yale princeton and columbia for duke.
I mean, isnt it pretty rare to get into all 4?!
I think she chose duke for finance reasons... but she still wouldve gotten money from hyp..</p>
<p>I don't think turning down HYP for Duke is that weird at all. I turned Princeton down to come here two years ago and have never regretted it a bit. Personally, you couldn't pay me to go to Harvard; I find it outlandish that it is able to attract so many bright kids as it is. I feel like most kids at Duke would say the same, especially those who have had the unfortunate experience of actually spending some time at the big H (gag). I have a number of friends here from freshman year who turned Harvard, Yale, and/or Princeton down to take a risk on this place and I can by and large attest to their satisfaction here. HYP may steal the kids with the highest test scores away from Duke but I definitely think we take the cake in attracting the chillest kids who happen to also be extraordinarily bright. I hope the tradition continues.</p>

<p>read the post above mine and you can see why my decision was so easy- GO BLUE DEVILS!</p>
<p>I am currently in the same situation as you were. I was accepted off the Duke Waitlist, and am currently going to cornell. I wasjust wondering what decision you made and why? plus what were your grades and where are you from?</p>
<p>skyman1214...send me a PM, we can talk.</p>
<p>I got off the waiting list a few weeks ago too...I'm going to Duke instead of Rice! And Cornell, WashU, and Univeristy of MD College Park (gemstones).</p>
<p>What influenced your decision? I need some opinions.</p>
<p>Some factors that influenced my decision: I'm doing BME -> Duke's undergrad BME is ranked 2. I'm from MD -> Duke is only 4 hours away. I like warm weather -> Duke is warmer than Cornell and cooler than Rice. My parents (and I, to some extent) care about prestige -> Duke is more selective than Cornell, and about the same as Rice I think. I like pretty campuses -> Duke's is really nice (but I must admit that I liked Rice's more). I like unity -> Everyone at Duke seems to have crazy school spirit, especially in relation to basketball. Hmm...I guess those were the main points I considered.</p>
<p>basically- people at Duke are cooler and much more fun!
and most people consider Duke a better school than Cornell</p>
<p>plus Duke basketball > everyone else</p>
