Outstanding applicants to Duke Kunshan University demonstrate several key qualities that we look for, and reflect a deep understanding of our unique culture and learning community. In this session, Director of International Student Enrollment, Russell Davis, will share his perspective on what those qualities are, and provide guidance on how to put together your strongest Duke Kunshan application. The session will be interactive, so bring your questions on topics related to:

• How to write your Duke Kunshan University-specific essay?
• When should you use the supplemental essay, and why?
• What are those qualities most valued by the Admissions Committee and why?
• How do you weave the qualitative elements of the Common Application together to tell your most compelling story?
• Gain insight into Duke Kunshan’s Financial Aid policy and process, covering both merit-based scholarships and need-based aid.

As a liberal arts and sciences university, DKU offers a range of opportunities for students to explore their interests before deciding on a major in their second year. To help you get familiar with our majors, we’ve put together a series of three info-sessions led by Faculty leaders in their respective divisions. Each session will provide an overview of DKU’s major offerings and research opportunities in the specific area of study, while also featuring a panel of current students that will share their firsthand experiences with majors in each division, their career aspirations upon graduating, and more!
