I would rate UCLA over Duke as the California startup scene is much better than North Carolina. This matters come graduation time or if you get side tracked and launch a business while in school. Both are great schools though.

I agree that West coast is better startup environment overall, but Duke has good opportunites for pharma with Duke hospital and Research Triangle Park nearby.
