I went around campus and asked 6 freshmen how they got into Duke! We asked them about stats, extracurriculars, what they wrote in their essays, why duke, and application advice. This was a beast to edit but such a pleasure to make, so I hope you enjoy! Like, comment and subscribe if this helped you in any way :))

Hi, if anyone has experience in doing impressive ECs and/or historical research please help me out if you can. I'm already half way through 10th grade and am brainstorming impressive ECs because I'm applying to selective schools (almost ivy, not quite lol?) Here's what I have that are related to my passion for history and my future major which is going to be history: -research internship for one summer -writing a research paper for NHD (a competition) -starting a history club at my local library I need more impressive ideas, preferably how to channel my history passion into leadership more??? Thx!!!

I’m so frustrated because I would absolutely love to go to Duke, and my GPA is great, but my stupid school offers no extracurriculars except sports. That is going to screw me for every big college, and it’s frustrating that this is going to effect my whole life.

The concept for this promotion was good but the selection of students to interview was totally non-inclusive. There was not one person interviewed who "looked like Me".
