<p>Also i was wondering how hard it is to get into one of the abroad programs?</p>
<p>Bump.</p>
<p>Figured this would be useful for students currenty applying/considering applying to my wonderful Duke <3</p>
<p>I’ve heard rumors of Duke being cliquey (although they didn’t deter me from applying ED! 
). How true is this?</p>
<p>Every school is cliquey.</p>
<p>Hi
Is it true that Duke focuses alot on science and research?
I am a student who wants to study humanities
maybe econ or IR
Is Duke not the right place for me?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Actually, I’d say Duke’s strong points (besides BME) lie more towards the humanities end than the science end of the spectrum at the undergrad level. The graduate level is another story however and because of that, DUke is a pretty big research university overall. </p>
<p>It probably only seems that science and engineering is big because there are a lot of premeds on this forum.</p>
