Accepted into Darden, did early decision for Duke. Should I wait for Duke?

If Duke calls me I have to go but I'm already at Darden. If Darden is a better program for IB I'm not sure if it's wise to wait. What do you guys think? Is Darden better for IB?

No material difference for IB opportunities-it will all come down to your candidacy. Assuming equal costs of attendance I'd stay put. unless it were my dream to attend Duke.
