<p>Congrats all!</p>
<p>I am applying RD, Duke is probably first for my top choice. Anyways, I am applying to Trinity, and am having a bit of trouble with the "Why Duke" portion. I know why in my mind, but it doesnt translate well onto text. Any pointers? It would be great if you could PM me your or what you did =). Thanks for any advice, I know it's optional, but I think including it will help me =P</p>
<p>I just talked about why I felt Duke was the perfect match for me, but in a creative format.</p>
<p>Try to make it personal…that’s at least what I did. They don’t want to read a laundry list of what’s on their website.</p>
<p>and just so you know, I’m applying RD (I didn’t apply ED), but I’ve already submitted the supplement. I didn’t want to mislead you since your topic seems to be addressing Accepted or Deferred ED applicants</p>
<p>All I talked about are two programs at duke. and the whole essay is around 250 words. orginally i thought the why essay would be the reason why i couldn’t get in. but magically i was accpeted. so probably u should mention some specific programs.^^</p>
