    I'm very late to this video but thank you so much for sharing your experiences! I'm an incoming freshman at Duke (just got my acceptance) and really wanted to figure out what I got myself into so this was really helpful.

      Are you also a QB match? I ranked Duke last, and it was the school I researched least, so I've been trying to find out more about it.

    I find it interesting to listen to smart people talk about their lives at the best schools. I have a degree but I got it from a school w/ an 85% acceptance rate. Definitely not at the level as these highly intelligent people, but good luck w/ your future.

    Did you find duke to be cliquey/preppy/fratty? I'm applying to duke and thats one complaint ive seen a bunch.

      Greek life is kind of a big thing, but I wouldn't say it's really much different from other colleges on the East Coast. Plus, there are student living groups that you can rush that aren't associated with Greek life. And I think they are making some changes to Greek Life that should help. But I never joined a frat/sorority, and I still enjoyed my time at Duke (current senior here).

      It honestly depends on what kind are person you are, i.e. are you willing to reach out and make new friends, and the people you surround yourself with. I'm pretty satisfied with my social circle but I feel like i'm sometimes extroverted too

    nice video! I'm really interested in duke and also wanna do premed there. How competitive/hard are the pre-med classes at Duke? Are a lot of kids weeded out?

    • @sarahtonin7733
      @sarahtonin7733  3 роки тому +8

      I think that "weeding" happens at every college, and I admit that pre-med academics at Duke are pretty tough. But I don't feel like people are really competing with each other, I've found that people are pretty collaborative and nice. Hope that helps! I could talk forever about being premed at Duke though
