Why Duke?
Duke has aced my two evaluation tests: the test of fondness and the test of academic excellence. I want to be part of Duke because I think we two can make up a great symbiosis together.
My immutable attraction to Biology makes me consider Neuroscience a great possibility for my future. Undeniably, Duke has been a perfect architect
for medical futures; this is why it has remained on the top of my college list. Neuroscience in Duke, as a thoroughly interdisciplinary major with emphasis on research and discovery, is the perfect fit for me. In such a field, where many potentially life-revolutionizing questions are still unanswered, I am thrilled by the possibility to discover and to make a change. The possibilities for internships, independent studies, labs and Research Practicum that Duke offers represent to me unique experiences that I would not let slip.
In Duke I really feel that I can embrace life fully. I want to share my unusual ideas with unique, diverse people. I want to be part of an amazingly diverse environment as that of Duke. As an international student, I feel I have so much to share with the other students, may it be a bit of Albanian language or the Albanian traditional curd pie, as well as my dreams and my windows to the world. I want to emerge in the vivacious student life by joining the Duke's women club volleyball and volunteering in the DukeEngage to continue the exciting experience of community service in a larger scale. I don't want to simply learn, I want to explore and experience beyond the classroom. Always in my life I have pursued challenges aiming for excellence: that's why I am now knocking in the doors of Duke University, hoping to make it my future home.
