Why Duke?

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>Could anyone plz read my Why Duke essay? I would really appreciate some feedback. Thanks guys</p>

<p>I will read you essay if necessary, but I think that you should have a friend read your essay. To be totally honest, almost everyone here doesn't really know you and for any of us to be able to provide valid criticism and to be able to fully grasp your essay, we would have to know you. Your best bet is to ask a friend. I'm sure your essay is fine, but still, I don't know you well enough to be able to critique it to the best of my ability...</p>

<p>I will read it.</p>

<p>I am actually sort of stumped by this question. I have created a list of the reasons why I would like to go to Duke but I have absolutely no idea how to write that essay. Were you guys straightforward or did you make it a more creative essay? I would appreciate it if any one who is at Duke or was accepted would send me their Why Duke essay through PM. Just to see how a successful applicant structured his/her essay. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>i'd love to help</p>

<p>PM it to me.</p>

<p>Be careful with who you send your essay to b/c someone who hasn't written/submitted theirs already could use parts or ideas from your essay...I am not accusing anyone of doing this, but just be careful</p>

<p>That's a good general advice</p>
