Sentry wrote:I'm planning on writing a Why Duke essay to try and help from being YP'd. My question is the two reasons why I'm really interested in Duke is because my sister works for Duke and I would love to be close to some family. Also, my wife and I both really love the RDU area. Should I put my real reasons in my Why Duke essay or should I make it more about the academics and opportunities yada yada yada?
Personally I think you can include both, focusing a little heavier on academics perhaps. I would just make sure to use examples of what you love about the academic program with what draws you to Duke personally to show how you and Duke are a perfect match . Just my .02 though

edit for typo
