Good! Very sincere!

Hi do you mind sharing which other place you think would have been a better fit? Asking because I am debating between my state school (UT Austin Plan II Honors program) and Duke. Thanks!

hii! im abt to apply ED for duke. i was wondering how tuition is for you? ik it totals up to a lot so I was wondering if youre paying the full amount? im so sorry if this is personal!!

I feel that I want to go back to college!!So happy that you are all happy at Duke! Congratulations

bye bye see ya later sarvesh and sarah !!!! XD...

Can we read your essay??

I loved this, it was such a realistic vlog!

I live in New Jersey

you spent $20 just on breakfast as a college student, and then you had lunch and dinner, not including the coffee, so you're telling me you're averaging like $50 a day just on food

Congratulations 🎉!!! My daughter also went test optional and is currently a Freshman at Brown. She applied ED. #Class of ‘27. Go Bears 🐻!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Duke and the test optional topic. My son doesn’t quite have the typical Duke SAT scores (yet) but excels in many other fields like you did. We are hopeful that Duke would still consider him ED if his SAT/ACT scores don’t come through.

This truly is a marvelous video. It is awesome that Duke is open to test optional applicants. Test optional is giving students like you who are truly a treasure an opportunity to experience a Duke education. This is very good for you, and it is equally good for Duke. You describe the dual benefits beautifully and accurately in your video. You are so right that the SAT and the ACT are way over utilized. I promise you that you are correct in believing that the Duke experience is monumental, and that it will stay with you for the rest of your life. Best to you in your quest to become a doctor. You will be a very special one. Do study like you have never studied before for the MCAT, however. All medical schools are darn serious about their reliance on that puppy. You will find that the MCAT is a much more reasonable test than the SAT or the ACT. Besides, Duke will get you prepared for the MCAT. Thank you for your video.

hey how can i contact you its regarding my ECs

Can you please drop your extra curriculars too?

Hi! I am currently going into my sophomore year of high school and I really want to show colleges my passions. I LOVE traveling (I just studied abroad in Spain for a month), and I have an interest in biology (or something with science). I am not exactly sure HOW I can show that to colleges though. Do you have any recommendations? I just don't want them to think I am doing things solely for the purpose of the application.

Missed your voice so now I’m here lol. Love you sexy

Hey lovely video, are there black people in school?

Mam you are so beautiful 😘 I just want to say why you stoped making videos you are inspiring so many students like me . Keep going mam. Blessed to watch you videos 😘😘

YOOOO I'm gonna be there next year.

hey! I'm a rising senior and considering apply early to duke, any advice?

i would love to see more days in a life, or a weekend at duke

just got in rd with an sat score that i thought i didn’t submit but i just checked and i accidentally put in the app HAHA

I'm the only duke fan in my house the rest of my family members are carolina tar heels fans

Duke fan here go blue devils destroy them tar heels

AWWWWWW this video is comforting me so much, having duke as my dream school I can't express how obsessed I am as well. Hoping for the best, class of 2026 letz go

As an ASU ALUMNI I take offense to the BOONE SUCKS sticker. Boone is an NC treasure and a whole other world. NC should be proud of having such two beautiful campuses so close to each other. Jk jk In all serious thank you, my younger sister is going to dookie next year! The awkwardness goes away quickly at the gym took about 4-6 days of workouts and as the semester rolled on people get into the groove and it’ll be great! Plus you get to meet other like minded people. How do you feel about the city of Durham and surrounding areas?

My biggest pet peeve is people with the ability to submit scores and withdrawing them taking away admissions spots from more deserving applicants

i got in test optional too!

i love this so much!! you have the kindest spirit! wishing you all the best at duke!!

Congrats! I just got into Duke ED. See you on campus

Let me be in the next vid!

Thanks for the video!! Did u apply to duke as an ED applicant? If not, did u have an interview?

This is the most realistic and optimistic video related to college applications I have seen so far, thank you❤

Omg love your video! So inspiring. I applied early decision and the decision will come out in two hours! Aahhh

I have very similar small town origins and the ACT was also my bane lol, hence why I also applied test optional. Don’t let scores make you devalue yourself or doubt yourself because my scores were very mediocre and I am still able to keep up with Duke academics with some studying and hard work. and to anyone who feels like their high school is not the best, I would just suggest to simply take as much challenging classes as you can with what your area offers. Duke looks at what you did in school in light of your circumstances, so don’t be discouraged if you couldn’t/can’t accomplish the stereotypical awe-inspiring feats of what you think Duke wants.

Informative video! I am applying to Duke RD soon. Would you be able to review my essays?

Did you end up getting into northwestern? that’s my dream school and i applied test optional too!😭

I am also waiting for early decision in duke university...

this came right on time! i’ve poured so much of my time and energy into this school because i love it so much! i submitted my rd test-optional application november 14th and hoping to get an interview soon. i really wanted to apply ed because i love duke so much. i honestly believe i showed so much of my personality and interests in my app, so hopefully they will be able to see that. i hope i can join you in the fall! i visited duke this weekend and it solidified everything for me! this video really encouraged me 🤍

This video was so encouraging!!! Duke is one of my top choices and I'm applying to Duke RD for the class of 2026. Thank you! Maybe I'll see you next fall:)
