If you can't pay off 100k with a job at JP Morgan, you're doing it wrong. Take the Duke offer, and don't look back. Live your life with no regrets. 100k is going to be your second year bonus in banking. It may sound crazy now, but it won't once you've got that job, and you'll be happy having attained your childhood dream of attending Duke.
This post of yours is making me rethink my admission decision.
For what it's worth, I'm quite familiar with the banking industry. You will see Duke grads on Wall St at top banks. I didn't meet Vandy people at a top bank, but did see some at a smaller trading shop and mid market southern banks like Raymond James.
Would the scholarship be worth it if you make less money or get a less desirable job in the end? Recruiting is what you make of it but Wall Street is notoriously prestige conscious. The reputation of your school will absolutely follow you even after your first job.
Additionally, you'll have to deal with having a smaller NYC network as a result of fewer people from Vandy being here. That impacts networking opportunities as well as social life. What's that worth to you?
