<p>bummp pleasee?</p>

<p>it says 1 or 2 paragraphs i believe. comes out to half a page- 3/4</p>

4

<p>ooo crap i have like 2 pages!
haha oops</p>

<p>^That's good. Don't change it. Just make sure it's not repetitive and that it reads well. I've seen successful essays for this question that are half a page long and 2 pages long. What they had in common was that they were well-written.</p>

<p>Hmm, well the first part begins with a sort of anecdote type thing..and it isn't super specific to DUKE..
if I cut that it would be much shorter..</p>

<p>I made mine short and sweet. They're not going to want to read it all if your just blabbering and trying to look like your interested. If its good though keep it.</p>

<p>The important thing is to be sincere. I've seen half-page Why Duke essays that were too long because they just rambled on about how great Duke's academics are. Make it personal and a page won't be too long.</p>

<p>Ok great, mine is pretty personal, I talk about why im interested in the field I chose, and how duke will be good for that.I talked about focus, duke engage and the sanford institute</p>
