Any feedback or critcism of this supplemental essay for Duke is greatly appreciated. Thanks alot in advance.
Prompt: Why do you consider Duke University a good fit for you?
As I sat in the Duke Focus Program Class, the stimulants of mind usually ignored were ignited. This ultimately opened up dynamics of a world through a different lens that allowed for far greater fodder for thought.
As I sat in Dr. Jiyong Yong's organic chemistry class, I was introduced to unique perspectives of problems that extended my thought process to something far greater than I had ever been accustomed to.
As I took my tour around the campus, I saw a school with rare outlets of opportunities for many of my passions from enjoying sports and in particular basketball, to debate, to scientific research. These are areas which Duke is truly unmatched by the rest of the country. But more important is the message conveyed through these possibilities. Duke is a school that allows for me the individual to be created. It is an institution that prospers economic thought which is something I have a life long goal of pursuing to its greatest existence. But at the same time, I saw a culture united under the same divine intervention of a University. This was a culture with tremendous faith in this divinity and faith in a certain divinity is an important principle to me which I adhere to. Ultimately, the combination of everything I was exposed to is something that truly will allow me to reach depths far greater that I can only imagine and the path to comprehending these oppurtunities will be most fruitful through Duke University.
