<p>...And I'm wondering something. </p>

<p>"If you are applying to Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, please discuss why you consider Duke a good match for you. Is there something in particular at Duke that attracts you?"</p>

<p>It's as if the question wants me to purely write about why I like the school and want to attend. Should I mention anything (when I write this in a few months) about how I think I can contribute to the school somehow? I feel like just saying why the school is great is impersonal and cliche.</p>

<p>Yes. Duke doesn’t need you to tell them that they have great professors or research opportunities. They want to know what connection you have with the school and how you will use that connection. This essay should ultimately be about YOU!</p>
