<p>Hey, for the why duke essay, are they looking for a list of reasons why you want to attend duke, but written in a more elegant form. Or do they just want one example, in which you expand upon?</p>
<p>Honestly, you should do whichever you think sounds the best. It's your choice. I chose three things and expanded upon them. I suggest you give enough input into why than a list.</p>
<p>Mine was two paras: first talking about how Duke's curriculum and offerings were perfect for me. Second talking about how I would fit into the school.</p>
<p>mines is like iwantcolly's my first paragraph was about the curriculum and my second was about how I like the sound of the environment and etc.</p>
