Now that I've got into a few schools after applying to way too many, it has really come down to UCSB vs Duke (only two that have offered me money). It seems like from a purely ranking perspective UCSB is better, but does that really make it a better choice (or does it even matter)? Any opinions on the two schools?

No, and no. I have never seen any "ranking" scheme for grad schools that provides any useful information whatsoever.

Duke is a small school.... not many options... Its only strong point is medicine ... and anything that is medicine related will be good.. Not sure about UCSB.. but living cost at Durham is cheap.
