UNC OR Duke for the roberston scholars

I have read lots about the Robertson scholars program at UNC and Duke…but I’m having a hard time deciding where I want to apply early decision. Both schools are great, but I’m not sure which one will best fit me as a black female international student…Help!

Well since you’re posting in the Duke section, the consensus will probably be Duke. Duke is known to be a more international, cosmopolitan place if that’s what you’re going for. Half of all Duke students identity as students of color, and sizeable chunk (15% of the class of 2019) are international students.

Hmm…Thanks a lot! I’m a huge science nerd and I llooove research.that’s why I was rooting for these schools. But, I also want a school that not only has amazing academics but also has a great social life. I really want to get the most out of college, and I am kind of worried about it all.
