As a follow up to our analysis of Duke’s essays for 2012-13, we are posting excerpts from a blog by the Duke Admissions team<\/a>. The blog outlines the admissions team’s expectations from applicants, in answering essay questions.<\/p>\n

So, the 3 short, career related essays are “looking for the facts, with minimal embellishment”.
