<p>Well in my Why Duke? essay, I had a brief part on basketball. It connected in, and was a true anecdote, although I bet they won't think it's true. I guess the basketball part is way overdone in all the apps, but I think the rest of the essay is really really good, personal and creative (i hope it will help my essay stand out), in my opinion. I'm proud of it. I really want to go to Duke, so I tried to make it shine in my essay.</p>
