At graduation a dukie can't match a undergrad.
After 2 to 3 years post grad the difference is gone.

Tenacity is the difference in the long run be it undergrad or post grad.

Been there. Done that.
You can see why the dukies are not well received when they do their housemanship/internship. Likely need more hand holding and guidance when they start their first postings. Which means more work for the other senior staff.
