Duke University: The pros, the cons, and how to get in.

The best way to get into a highly-selective college like Duke is to understand what makes that university unique -- academically, culturally, socially -- and then to tailor your application so it seems like it's the "perfect match" for your past accomplishments and future goals. Top universities aren't just looking for great candidates; they're specifically looking for candidates who are uniquely poised to take advantage of the distinct programs and opportunities that the school has to offer -- in other words, things you can't find anywhere else.

Maybe it's because I am from North Carolina, but literally no one thinks Duke is public. I've never heard that.

[@IvyAdmissionHelp]

You might be right. But I have found that Duke is not very well understood outside of the south.

hi i've been watching all your videos and they've been super helpful in narrowing down what exactly i want in a college, prestigious or not! could you do overviews on small liberal art colleges as well? (Amherst, Pomona, Swarthmore, Bowdoin, etc.)

[@IvyAdmissionHelp]

Yes, I plan to releasing a series of videos on the "small ivies" shortly.

Amazingly informative videos! Most thoughtful college commentary on KZbin. Pls continue with other videos on T20s and public Ivies. My son got in T20 but I still love your analysis. Watching just for pleasure. To parents still researching: listen to this guy!

Can you make videos about liberal arts colleges like Amherst, Williams and Bowdoin

[@IvyAdmissionHelp]

Yes, I plan to do a series on those schools soon.
