Optional supplement

<p>Would it be a terrible idea to write about valuing the college experience and how I think Duke has a great college experience?</p>

<p>Would it make me seem like a good match for Duke? Or just a party boy who should go to Penn State or somewhere like that?</p>

<p>If it would be a bad idea, would it be okay to not submit the optional supplement?</p>

<p>It depends on how you write it.</p>

<p>I had a few sentences elaborating on the great undergraduate emphasis in regard to research and neuroscience.</p>

<p>Be specific to Duke. Don’t make it seem like you can replace “Duke” in the sentence with “Yale” and have it still make sense.</p>
