What Surprised You Most About Your School?
I thought that I would not fit in academically, because Duke is such a strong school and there are so many intelligent people from all over the world there. However, I realized that I absolutely deserve to be at Duke, and I am smart enough to be there. You do not have to just be school smart to excel at Duke. I have found that my curiosity and passion in multiple different areas helps me do well at this school. If you got in, it is because Duke knew you would add to their community, and you deserve to be there!
