Overview

A complete application consists of various documents, some of which have different deadlines. Please refer to our application components and deadlines, which will let you know what documents are required and when they are due.

Where to Begin

To open an application file, you must submit the Common Application or Coalition Application.

The application will ask you to provide biographical and academic information, to detail your extracurricular activities and to do a bit of personal essay writing. It also includes forms for school officials to complete on your behalf. It is acceptable if your school forms and/or teacher recommendations are submitted on paper, even though your portion of the application will be submitted online.

Please note that Duke will not accept activity resumes for the 2017 application process. If you have information that you need to share with us that will not be reflected elsewhere in your application, you may add it to the Additional Information section of the application.

Once we receive the student-submitted portions of your application, we will send you an email with instructions for accessing a personalized Application Checklist where you can monitor the status of your application, check that we have received the required documents, make changes to your personal information and view your admission decision.

Essays

Both the Common Application and the Coalition Application include a one-page personal essay. In addition, both include two short essay questions that are specific to Duke and that offer you the opportunity to share your unique interests and perspective. One of the short essay questions is required, and the other is optional--and yes, it is truly optional! You can submit your short writing with or after the other student portions of the application, no later than the application deadline.

Application Fee

You must send your nonrefundable $85 application fee r fee waiver request along with the Common Application or Coalition Application. Both applications accept online payment via credit card or electronic check. Please note that we do not accept credit card payment by telephone. If you pay by check, please make the check payable to Duke University. Checks must be for payment in U.S. dollars and must be drawn on a U.S. bank.

We offer fee waivers for qualifying students, which means under many circumstances we will waive the $85 application fee for students with high financial need. Through your Common Application or Coalition Application you may request an application fee waiver online, and your guidance counselor will receive an email invitation to endorse your request.

Defining an Academic Concentration

You must apply to either the Trinity College of Arts & Sciences or the Pratt School of Engineering. The application will also ask you to indicate your preliminary academic interests so we can get to know you intellectually. Please refer to the overview of Trinity and Pratt as well as their majors and minors if you have questions about the best program for your interests. It is not easier or harder to be admitted to one program or another; pick the school and academic fields that best match your interests.

Applying Early or Regular Decision

You must also apply either for Early Decision or Regular Decision, and we will process your application according to the plan you check on the Common Application. To apply Early Decision, you, one of your parents and your secondary school counselor must sign the Early Decision Agreement confirming your commitment to enroll at Duke if you are admitted. You will receive your admission decision in mid-December.

Standardized Testing

All candidates for admission must complete one of the following standardized testing options: the ACT, including writing, or the SAT, including the essay for students who choose to submit the new SAT. For students who submit the SAT, two SAT Subject Tests are strongly recommended. Students who have taken multiple tests may choose which scores to send to Duke. For students who elect to send multiple test scores Duke will use whichever score is highest.

概述

完整的申请包括各种文件,有的文件有不同的地窖截止时间。你可以参看我们的“文件和截止时间”,了解需要哪些文件以及它们的截止时间。

从哪里开始?

为了开启申请文件,你必须递交“通用申请”或“联合申请”。

申请会要求你提供自述和学术信息,详细介绍你参加过的课外活动,并写作个人短文。申请也包括由学校工作人员代写的表格。如果你的学校表格和/或教师推荐用纸质提交,这样也会被接受,即便你的申请的其他部分是在线提交。

请注意,杜克大学在2017年招生中不接受活动简历。如果你有信息想和我们分享,但申请表中又没有地方填写,那么你可以把它添加在“其他信息”一栏中,以向我们反映。

一旦收到了你递交的申请我们就会发送邮件给你,让你知道如何评估你的个人化的申请清单。在申请清单中,你可以跟踪申请状态,查看我们是否已经收到了要求的文件,可以对你的个人信息做出修改,也可以查看申请结果。

Essay

通用申请和联合申请都要求提供一页纸的个人Essay。除此之外,通过申请和联合申请都包含两个杜克大学特别提出的问题,通过回答问题你有机会和我们分享你的独特兴趣和事业。在这两个问题中,有一个是必须回答的,另一是可以选择性回答——没错,真的是选择性回答!短文写作可以连同其他申请部分一起提交,也可以晚些时候提交,不晚于申请截止时间即可。

申请

必须连同通用申请或联合申请一起,提交85美元的申请费,或者要求减免。两种申请都而可以用信用卡或电子支票交费。请注意,我们不接受电话付费。如果你是用支票付款,请确保向杜克大学支付。支票付款必须用美元,必须从美国银行取款。

我们为符合资格的学生提供申请费减免,也就是说,对于经济确实困难的学生,许多情况下我们都为其免除85美元的申请费。借助通用申请或联合申请你可以要求在线免除申请费。咨询顾问会接到邮件邀请,同意你的请求。

学术兴趣鉴定

必须向三一文理学院或普拉特工程学院申请申请还将要求你表明你的初步的学术兴趣,这样便于我们在智力方面对你了解。如果在感兴趣的课程上有疑问,请参看三一文理学院或普拉特工程学院及他们的主修和副修介绍。

申请提前录取或常规录取

你还必须申请提前录取或常规录取,我们将会根据你在通用申请中核对的计划来审核你的申请。对于提前录取,你、你的父母一方和你的中学顾问必须签订提前录取协议,表明一旦被录取你就会在杜克大学注册。

标准化考试

所有入学候选人必须参加以下一项标准化考试: ACT(包括写作)和SAT(新SAT含essay)。对于提交SAT成绩的学生,最好提交两门学科成绩。参加多项考试的学生可以选择性地向杜克大学提交成绩。选择提交多项考试成绩的,杜克大学将考虑最佳成绩。

International Students

Students from more than 85 countries have found a home at Duke. Innovative, restless and driven: these are qualities not confined by geography.

There is no separate application for international students.

Standardized Testing Considerations for International Applicants

All applicants for the first-year class, whether educated in the United States or abroad, are required to complete the full testing requirements. The SAT and ACT tests are given throughout the year at testing centers around the world, although students outside the United States will generally find that the SAT is available in more places than the ACT. We understand that some students do not have access to a testing center in their home countries (e.g., mainland China). These students may be exempt, and if so, may not be disadvantaged in the evaluation process.

In Duke's application process, SAT and ACT scores are not viewed as the sole measure of a student's academic ability. We also recognize that test scores from bilingual students, or students outside of a United States high school system, may reflect a student's lack of familiarity and experience with this type of standardized test. This is taken into account when applications are considered.

Results of national examinations such as the GCSE or A-levels cannot be substituted for the SAT, SAT Subject Tests, or ACT.

We recommend but do not require the IELTS (International English Language Testing System), the PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English), or the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) for non-native English speakers who feel their TOEFL or IELTS scores might represent their English ability better than their SAT or ACT scores do.

Curriculum Considerations for International Applicants

Prior to the anticipated date of enrollment at Duke, students should have completed an academic program that would enable them to enroll at a university in their home countries. For example, students from British or British-based education systems should have completed their A-levels before enrollment, and students from the French or German education systems should complete the Baccalaureate or Abitur. For most students, this means that they will begin the application process during their final year of study in a pre-university program.

Interviews for International Students

While not required for admission, interviews provide an opportunity for the applicant to learn about Duke and for a representative of the university to learn about the applicant's strengths. We have alumni volunteers conducting interviews in forty-two countries worldwide.

Because of the high volume of applicants we receive from China, Duke will accept admissions interviews from InitialView for students attending school in China. These interviews will serve in lieu of alumni interviews. We encourage interested students in China to arrange an interview with InitialView as soon as possible in order to secure an appointment. All interviews must be submitted to Duke by December 1 for Early Decision and March 1 for Regular Decision.

国际学生

杜克大学汇集有来自超过85个国家的学生。创新、不安于现状和自我驱动:这些品质不受地理位置的限制。

国际学生不需要单独申请

国际学生标准化考试要求

所有申请第一年课程的学生,无论是否在美国接受过教育,都需要满足全部的考试要求。SAT和ACT全年都有举办,在世界各地的考试中心都有。但是对于美国以外的学生,SAT比ACT更常举办。我们知道,部分学生比如中国大陆的学生没有办法在自己国家参加这些考试。如果是这样,那么这部分学生将可以免除考试,而不在评估流程中处于劣势。

在杜克大学的申请流程中,SAT和ACT不是衡量学生学术能力的唯一尺度。我们也认可的这样的事实:双语学生或美国高中体制以外的学生对这类考试不够了解,缺乏经验。这在评估的申请的时候会被纳入考量。

国家考试比如GCSE或 A-levels 不能代替 SAT、 SAT学科考试和ACT。

英语非母语的学生如果觉得托福、雅思比 SAT 或 ACT 更能代表自己的英语能力,我们会向他们推荐(但不要求)雅思、培生或托福。

国际学生的课程考量

学生应在预计的注册日期之前,完成入读自己国家大学所要求的学业课程。例如,英国教育体制或以英国为基础的教育体制下的学生在注册之前应完成A-levels ,法国或德国教育体制下的学生应完成中学毕业考试或会考。对于大多数学生来说,这意味着必须在高三的时候就开始申请

国际学生面试

面试虽然不是录取要求的,但是是申请人了解杜克大学、大学代表了解申请人优势的好机会。我们有校友志愿团在世界各地43个国家实施面试。

由于中国学生申请的很多,我们将接受“初鉴”为中国中学生组织的入学面试。这类面试将代替校友组织的面试。我们鼓励感兴趣的中国学生尽早准备参加初鉴的面试。所有面试必须在12月1日(提前录取)和3月1日(常规录取)之前递交给杜克大学。
