We know that guiding students through the college selection process while also catering to individual academic interests can be a juggling act. We are always willing to assist high school counselors with the college admissions process and encourage you to take advantage of the information provided below. Every year, thousands of the world’s best students apply to Duke. They represent a wide spectrum of diversity and experiences, but they are united by their interest in Duke’s academic rigor, stimulating campus environment, and reputation for achievement. Most admitted students have demonstrated impact, intellect, imagination, and interest in the classroom, in the community, or on the athletic field. It could be doing one thing brilliantly, or several things exceedingly well.
