<p>In the other "Why Duke?" thread, you guys are making it seem as if it's simply a Why Duke? essay...Isn't the question essentially asking why one would be a good fit academically at either Trinity or Pratt (thus one would describe one's academic interests)? That's how I interpretted it.</p>
<p>thats what i did too, ionly had a few sentences, very vague bad sentences about y duke</p>
<p>yeah i wrote on how it is a good match too, lol how did all those ed people get accepted and not follow the prompt?</p>
<p>I'm a Duke student. I think that they leave certain parts of the application open-ended to keep things interesting at the admissions office. Just be honest, and make sure that your grammar is up to snuff.</p>
