FWIW I was at both medians didn't write a why duke and got in through PT, I think they do look at other qualities that they want to promote at their school...who knows.
I got that entrepreneur pamphlet too don't think it's customized but it's a great strategy they're doing getting people interested
I guess I take back my Why X argument. I honestly felt that if you had a Why X essay done, you could just adjust it quickly but maybe not...?
Also don't think the pamphlet thing is working now that I know they sent it to everyone - I appreciate a personal touch, not mass spamming.
I was impressed by their clerkship numbers and learning about the venture start up clinic was cool. I guess I don't expect anything personal lol Their interchangeable one liner in the acceptance letter was good for me lol
Idk for me writing the why x essays were hard but I did it for my top three schools so I cared an awful lot, and Penns was pretty different than the other two. I'm about to write for two that I'm not as excited about which will probably be a lot shorter
Took me awhile to write a Why X I liked. Nothing felt sincere. Finally figured out an angle that worked and was applicable to a lot of my top schools because they all have good placement numbers for it lol. Some had better detailing than others but that's because I like some schools better than others.
I didn't write a Why Duke. Would've if I'd seen all these posts before applying though. Anyone know if it's a good idea to email them and attach one or should I just let it go? Lol
If you submitted your app more than a couple days ago you might want to just wait.
If they wait list you then write one as a LOCI.
