I'm in for ED! I really like these essays... they seem much easier than last year's! very practical questions, less of all that BS fluff.
Also I have a 710 gmat and am thinking about retaking. How much do you think scoring a 750 would increase one's chances?
Are you going to apply even if you get into Duke?
Honestly, 710 is good enough for any school - now, if you are from an overrepresented background (indian IT, white finance male etc), then a 750 might help more. With my super low score (<640), I was waitlisted at 3 top schools and invited for an interview at other 2. I think after you hit 680+, it comes down how you execute your application.
