Magentaturtle,

Did you also get admitted to Duke without writing a WHY DUKE essay. I’m surprised that Goldenboy did. It really challenges my idea of “optional” essays. I’d still advise anyone to write one.

Goldenboy, can I ask why you didn’t write a WHY DUKE essay? I wonder what percentage of kids don’t write it and still get in compared to the percentages of kids who do write it and get in. I would have sworn you had to write it.
