Darden and Duke will be a couple of tiers ahead of your other current options, so that will also matter, for some career aspirations. (0)

Vanderbilt offered far more scholarship than Duke. Is it possible to use BU/Questrom’s full funding offer to negotiate for more scholarships with Vanderbilt or Duke? Thanks! (0)
