<p>I do the whole work hard play hard and I usually party with friends on the weekend. And I dont usually classify school stuff and those subjects as “fun” but idk I mean I really like to read and stuff haha so I guess Im both?
Im really into stocks/stock market/investment banking and all that though</p>
<p>That’s really cool.</p>
<p>I’m a nerd. Lol. I love reading and talking about school and what I learned. But I’m also a lover of the arts and history. I’ve been classically trained in opera in four different languages and have been in more than 10 musicals and operas. lol.</p>
<p>@KDavs95 Thats so cool and unique though!</p>
<p>@sraval1002 Word dude story of my life. Hope to see you post your admissions results, it would be chill af if we both got in.</p>
<p>@Leighhopeful - Thank you! My interviewer was pretty impressed. Too bad I didn’t send in a sample. 
I tried too but the frequency of my voice is just too high to be picked up correctly on my Mac. -.-</p>
<p>kdavs - I’m a classically trained singer too! And I’ve done a lot of musical theater as well. Soprano, I assume? I’m a baritone, so the mic picked my voice up nicely 
I’m glad to hear that there are other singers out there!</p>
<p>Omg! I’m not alone! Yeah I’m a lyric soprano. I love musical theater too! I’m a huge broadway buff. Did you have your supplement professionally recorded and such? </p>
<p>Hopefully we both get in!</p>
<p>My school has some pretty nice recording instruments so I borrowed the choir room for an hour after school. I was just getting over a cold, so the tape wasn’t as good as I’d liked, but I was overall pretty satisfied. One day maybe we’ll be opposites in a show at Duke! haha</p>
<p>@KDavs95 thats okay Im sure they’ll understand how good your voice is from all the credentials and other stuff on your application!</p>
<p>Ahhh im getting so nervous even though I know its a long shot for me Im still holding onto that bit of hope!</p>
<p>@iman - mine does too. I go to the “FAME” school in New York. I was just too lazy and I tried to do it on my own at home. That was stupid of me. Oh well. Did you get in already?</p>
<p>Got a likely letter yesterday. But I am still holding a conditional offer from Oxford… so… working hard as hell until May’s IB exams.</p>
<p>No, I’m not in; I was just feeling optimistic for once lol.</p>
<p>fallingfromsky - Oxford?? That’s so cool!</p>
<p>Oxford? That’s awesome. Congrats!</p>
<p>Anyone interested in Duke’s bioengineering. It seems to be doing some really great, great things. x.x</p>
<p>^I’ll be going into Bioengineering if I get in. Key word: IF :(</p>
<p>Are you anxious about job opportunities? Or are you banking on Duke’s name and Duke’s connections to get you an entry position?</p>
<p>Yeah I’m interested in bioengineering. It seems to be a hot field right now and has great prospects for future college graduates (us). What do you guys think??</p>
<p>It’s a niche field and it’s not necessarily clear how the field will grow. However, going to a school like Duke which has one of the best BME programs in the world and probably lots of doors into good internships, might make that a less precarious issue.</p>
<p>But even of the BME field, unless you’re generally interested in the field, there’s an even smaller market for your particular interest. For example, I think neuroengineering is really cool. If I went into BME, that would be the reason. But there is no real neuroengineering industry…</p>
<p>I’m wondering when exactly will Duke release decisions.</p>
