<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>Duke is my DREAM school. Hence, I have chosen to apply here for ED. I know that Duke is not a complete match for me, rather a slight reach, but I think my personality will really shine through in my essays. Duke academics, location, environment, social life, programs are all a match for me. I am interested in pursuing pre-med/biology/BME/etc. Any advice from current Duke students welcome.</p>
<p>Please chance me!</p>
