<p>Don’t mistake my inner feelings with reality, especially when they are one and the same haha. Duke is a great place academically, I am not saying it is not. I just feel as though, this might turn off special types of applicants. I understand that they want strong numbers though. This is why I love admissions decisions like Brown’s. While, yes, they want the numbers also, Brown presents a picture where they truly want a well-rounded kid. Brown is better at that than Duke. Duke does have its own strengths though!</p>
