Good question. In my view, if you look at the finance, I think Cornell is the best in the schools you list here and Cornell has strong reputation in China. If you look at the reputation in the US, of cause Duke would be the best in the schools. And if you want to have a wonderful life in the US, probably UCLA would the best choice as the west coast is so impressive and beautiful comparing to the east. However, Cornell is famous for its beautiful campus and NC, where Duke is located, was said beautiful too. Kelley wouldn't be in your choice I think as the place was called "even the bird won't make eggs" (translated from Chinese). But I don't recommend you go to Cornell in winter time and to Duke in summer. Cornell is in a very small town, basically you need to drive - probably 2 hours - to get into a metropolitan but the view in the route is soooooooo beautiful that I didn't even imagine it when I was in China. I also visited McComm, Austin is definetely a nice place to go but the campus of UT Austin is just soso. :-) Ha, so it's your own choice but I would recommend Duke, Cornell, and UCLA. Good luck!
