<p>Since we’re all surreptitiously checking CC every couple minutes, why don’t we actually have a posting game? </p>

<p>How bout name your two most favorite things about Duke? (No we’re not trying to write my essay; I applied ED lol)</p>

<p>I’ll start:</p>

<ol>
<li>SpeakoftheDevil (Acapella Group)</li>
<li>That amazing view of the Chapel, you get when walking down Chapel Drive.</li>
</ol>

<p>You don’t have to keep adding to my list, just type your own 1 and 2 :)</p>

<p>Hey all. Back to the Arts Supplement… If I did one for the classical and electric guitar (2 classical songs and 1 electric), but I don’t feel like I made an absolutely incredible supplement. Is hasn’t been sent yet, but I did indicate I would be sending one on my common app. Is it possible for this to hurt in an admissions process? Also, the supplement isn’t terrible, just not superb. I do not plan on majoring in music at all and just did this to round out my app.</p>
