I just got back from the Duke div weekend, and had an excellent time. They really went all out. I really enjoyed the students, the "team fuqua" spirit, and the even Durham was beautiful. Nonetheless, Yale still seems to hold a special place in my mind (on paper), but I haven't had a chance to tour the b-school yet. Do you mind doing a comparison/pros& cons of Yale vs. Duke after having been to both diversity weekends. Thanks so much!
From a building and tech standpoint Duke is superior, but from a community standpoint I felt Yale had a slight edge. However, I did not spend a whole weekend at Duke so my opinion may be a little swayed. they are both great places and personally I have them listed as 1 and 1A...I hope one accepts me and the other denies/waitlists. Duke holds a special place for me because my mom had cancer sugery at the hospital, but Yale is Yale and I loved New Haven and the people I met. Slight edge to Yale but not by much. I hope this helps.
