CLASS OF 2013!!! Taking any questions from freshmen next year!

<p>what were your stats?</p>

<p>Been getting info from Duke focus…what are the advantages? Do you really have smaller classes and more professor access? Is it a semester or whole year? I am not sure there is a “focus” that 100 per cent fits me…</p>

<p>whose stats are you asking?</p>

<p>Anyone who gotten accepted.</p>

<p>How do you find out who the really good professors are -you know, the ones who really make the material come alive? Is there a website?</p>

<p>Is Focus very selective? What percentage of freshmen typically do Focus?</p>

<p>For those asking about professors, that is one of the main strengths of Duke. There is enough accessibility regardless of whether you do FOCUS.</p>

<p>Hey, im deciding between Wash u st louis, Duke, and Berkeley right now…and have just 5 days to decide. Ny gut instinct is Duke but i need convincing reasons for my parents. How is the social/party scene there? Is the whole East Campus thing a big fun party? And most importantly, im not much of a reader and writer, so i have to ask what the work load is like in that respect(do you have to write a ton of essays and an insane amount of books)?
Im focusing on either biotechnology or business so I believe I’de be safe at Duke with such aspirations?
Can an alumni or current student please respond ASAP? Im dying here!</p>

<p>how hard is it to get into frat parties on campus?</p>

<p>Easy. You literally walk in and it’s fine. Navigating your way around in the really narrow hallways is a different story.</p>

<p>okay, as you can probably tell from my username, I am not in anyway shape or form a preppy person. How hard is it to fit in if you aren’t preppy/fratty?</p>

<p>Anyone in Focus? I was wondering if there’s still time to do Focus if I’m in BME and maybe pre-med. I know that BME has a high credit requirement already so can Focus still fit into that if I don’t do the engineering focus? thanks!</p>
