Prompt: "If you are applying to the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences as a first year applicant, please discuss why you consider Duke a good match for you. Is there something particular about Duke that attracts you? Please limit your response to no more than 150 words."
I was waiting to fall in love, and my visit to Duke flipped me head-over-heels. When I began my college search I was reluctant to believe in the Hollywood-esque idea of a "dream school", yet couldn't deny it appealed to me. I spent hours online reviewing colleges that ended up failing to impress in person. Duke was the exception. When I attended the Arts and Humanities Open House, the butterflies in my stomach persisted as my enthusiasm grew with every step I took. Doubtlessly, the academic rigor and prestige of Duke appealed to me, but what truly thrilled me was the passion and enthusiasm of the students and professors. The university's most memorable feature was not it's iconic chapel, but the incredible Blue Devils inhabiting it's campus. That electric air of creativity and passion for learning is something I've found no other school to possess the way Duke does.
Any assistance appreciated, and I will definitely return the favor. Thank you!
