BTW - Leaders of Consequence is a big deal at Duke, driven by Blair Sheppard. I'm sure there is a ton of stuff about that means on the web. It would probably be helpful to check that out.
Aaudetat, two questions:
1. Are you taking part in the Health Care Sector Management program?
2. How would you define "fit" at Duke? I've heard that teamwork is a priority at Duke, how does that show itself?

I am not an HSMer, but I think about 1/4 of the students are.
Fit at Duke...hmmm....yes, we're definitely about teamwork. We're joiners - people are involved in clubs and that sort of thing. We are very social, and it's not cool to be unkind or backstabbing.
I am sure that most schools would say that, but there are lots of little things that happen at Duke that some of my friends at other schools have said would be uncommon. For example, the stars in my section for stats, econ, and acctg held "office hours" during finals and midterms so that others from the section could stop by and ask questions.
Another example: there was an SY last year who had a bit of a reputation. He apparently would say things in front of recruiters to put other students down. ("Hey, Jackie, let me know if you need help with finance again. I'm happy to help out.") People were polite to him, but he didn't fit in and wasn't appreciated.
Does that help? This stuff is so hard to describe.
