Duke is revamping its admissions process in a big way this year. The university is cutting back on identity-based essay prompts and introducing a new question about how students use AI—reflecting both national debates and real changes in how applications are reviewed. Essays won’t be scored numerically anymore, and Duke is open about students (and even teachers) using AI for writing. Plus, with financial pressures, Duke is slashing recruitment travel by half but joining a network to reach more rural students. What do you think about these shifts—especially the role of AI and the changing focus of essay questions? #Education #College #DukeUniversity
