(For Arts and Sciences Applicants Only) If you are applying to Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, please discuss why you consider Duke a good match for you. Is there something in particular at Duke that attracts you? Please limit your response to one or two paragraphs.
D is for development. Holding steady belief that more sparks will be ignited when disciplines can intersect with each other, I am looking forward to participate in discussion-based courses in First-Year Seminars Program and comfortable interaction with both students and distinguished professors in Focus Program where interdisciplinary study is valued, intellectual curiosity is nurtured, and connection between people is built.
U is for utilization. With its unrivaled academic resources and learning environment, Duke also never lacks opportunities for students to build special strengths in collaboration and connection of knowledge to solve real-world problems. It reminds me of my own experience of teaching students in local primary school. I'm now looking for the same contented smiles as on the face of those students and the sense of accomplishment within myself. And I will definitely get what I want in the variety of immersion programs in DukeEngage and Service-Learning programs.
K is for kaleidoscope. For a girl born in Beijing, a symbol of China's traditions, that attended school in Shenzhen, an avant-garde young city striving to be a leader in renovations, I can appreciate a school where innovations and tradition, America and the world, weave with each other. The diversity within me is more than willing to embrace the diversity within Duke's student body. And the "One big, happy family" ethos will only make the interaction more natural and intimate.
E is for energy. Although not an inborn athlete, as a passionate sports fan, I can wait no longer to experience the dynamic and lively campus where thousands of students set up camps outside the stadium to wait for the tickets for the basketball match, where everyone is wearing paints on their faces, yelling for Blue Devils, where the same enthusiasm is displayed in all aspects of a Dukie's life. Study hard in blocks and play hard in fields is a Dukie's motto and also the life I desire.
The requirement is that the essay should be written within one or two paragraphs but I have four now- - Should I combine these four into one or just leave it like this is okay?
Any input is appreciated=)
