No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read over long secondary essays.

What impressed you positively?

that the average debt load of students is so low.

What impressed you negatively?

lots -- the students didn't seem that happy and a little snotty. the curriculum seemed a little too intense (i heard the word rigorous more than I would have liked). the students and faculty kept talking about how they were better than other top schools, which was annoying and unnecessary (just made duke look paranoid).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that duke is not so flexible about what you can do during the third year.

What are your general comments?

I really didn't leave Duke with a good feeling. I know it is a great school, and many people might be happy there, but I don't think it is for me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
