Duke University Placement?

Hey I'm a senior in high school and just got accepted to Duke University today. I'm probably going to major in Economics and Computer Science and want to work in finance. I'm intending to break into the buy side and want to know whether Duke has a finance pipeline. There's a lot I don't know so please excuse if something I say comes off wrong or naive.  

1. Is Duke respected on Wallstreet?

2. What clubs/organizations should students at Duke aim to join?

3. Are there any specific banks/companies that Duke alumni are seen at?

4. Is there a large proportion of students interested in finance at Duke?

Duke is very much a target. Several kids got sophomore banking offers at top BBs. Wish I could have gone to Duke if I had the chance lol. Friend at Duke has an incredible network and has his choice of IB/PE offers. GS, MS, and EBs all actively recruit there
