IMO, if Duke has an equivalent in Virginia, it's probably Washington and Lee. Wake would be William and Mary.
Duke's admissions standards are higher even than those of W&L. W&L is more like Davidson but with a top notch law school
Duke has no private peer in Va, and taken en total, few peers in the entire US.
Duke is a medium large, academically elite private that plays Div 1 sports at the highest level with two professional schools and is also a Research University.
Private school Stanford comes to mind, but public UVA is the closest to Duke in Virginia.

They've had to compete with the most fraudulent school in the NCAA. They have done so with integrity.
