杜克大学2026Fall附加文书题目已经公布,与往年相比出现了显著变化。
- 取消了以往关于多样性、公平和包容性(DEI)的可选文书题目
- 新增了一个关于人工智能伦理思考的可选题目
杜克大学去年宣布:本科招生过程中不再对文书和标准化考试成绩进行单独评分,只对课程强度、学术成绩、课外活动和推荐信这4项内容进行评分。
尽管发生了变化,杜克招生院长Guttentag明确表示,招生过程中仍会考虑文书和标准化考试成绩。
招生官会更加注重那些有独特洞察力的申请文书,文书内容和洞察力比写作风格更重要。
以下是杜克大学2026fall的附加文书题目,包含必选题和可选题。
必选题:
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? If there is something specific that attracts you to our academic offerings in Trinity College of Arts and Sciences or the Pratt School of Engineering, or to our co-curricular opportunities, feel free to include that too.
