Personal Reflection
The campus of Duke University is beautiful and has a great chapel. The dorms are also quite nice as well as Duke Gardens. There are many health options for undergraduate students. Graduate school offers many different opportunities including a recognized medical program. I liked the student activities as well.
What obstacles do you face?
I think I would love to attend Duke University. However it will be a challenge because its admissions process is very rigorous and competitive. I will need to improve my standardized test scores. I will also need to be hardworking to improve my overall GPA in Junior and Senior year of high school. Tuition is quite expensive and being out of state I will probably need to obtain some financial aid.
After doing more research on this college are you more or less interested in attending?
After learning more about this college I feel that even though the admissions process is difficult I am still interested in it because it is a very respected university. I will get to learn with other top students from around the world and will also learn from them. I will get a world class level education. I will get the opportunity to attend events from top class performers. I will learn to be independent.
