Why School≤ 250 words
What is your impression of Duke as a university and community, and why do you believe it is a good match for your goals, values, and interests?
别写「排名高、师资强」——那是对所有学校都成立的句子。写一门具体的课、一个实验室或项目、一位教授的研究方向，并说清为什么是你需要它。三分之二篇幅写学校提供什么，三分之一写你会怎么用。
Community≤ 250 words
We all belong to communities defined by place, faith, family, culture, interests or shared experience. Tell us about a community that has shaped who you are, any way it has set you apart, and what you've learned from being part of it that you hope to bring to Duke.
「社群」不必是宏大身份，可以是一个乐队、一间宿舍、一个方言群。写清你在其中的位置（不是旁观者），你为它做了什么，它如何改变你看问题的方式。

Identity & Background≤ 250 wordsOptional
We believe a wide range of viewpoints and experiences is essential to maintaining Duke's vibrant living and learning community. Please share anything in this context that might help us better understand you and your potential contributions to Duke.
可选题只在你有申请其他部分没讲到的东西时才写。写了就要具体。
Disagreement≤ 250 wordsOptional
Meaningful dialogue often involves respectful disagreement. Provide an example of a difference of opinion you've had with someone you care about. What did you learn from it?
重点不是谁对谁错，而是你怎么听、怎么说、之后怎么变。选一个真实、具体、你确实在意的分歧；避免把自己写成完全正确的一方。
Oddball≤ 250 wordsOptional
What's the last thing that you've been really excited about?
「最近」是关键词——写真实的、小的、此刻的。能让读者看到你不申请大学时是什么样。
