Continuing my list of ED universities - I will take a closer look at Duke.
Duke is a large, research university on Durham, North Carolina. It is highly reputed for strong programs in the arts and Sciences as well as Engineering and business. Duke if often referred to as a "Southern Ivy". Of course Duke receives the most publicity for the Blue Devils Basketball program but this only makes the campus a more vibrant and socially active place to be.
You can see the Duke admissions home page at this link
Duke is also on the common ap and has two short supplementary essays, of which one is optional.
Here are the 2015-2016 Duke Prompts
The following question is required for Engineering applicants.
• If you are applying to the Pratt School of Engineering as either a first-year or transfer applicant, please discuss why you want to study engineering and why you would like to study at Duke. (150 words maximum)
The following question is required for Arts & Sciences applicants.
• If you are applying to the Trinity College of Arts & Sciences as either a first-year or transfer applicant, please discuss why you consider Duke a good match for you. Is there something particular about Duke that attracts you? (150 words maximum)
As always do your homework before starting this type of answer. Talk about your interests and intended major and how the Trinity college /Pratt School fits in. Duke offers undergraduates the chance to get involved in research and find relevant summer internships .
These can be considered as the fairly standard " What do you want to study?" and Why do you want to study and Duke questions.

The following question is optional for all applicants to Duke University.
• Duke University seeks a talented, engaged student body that embodies the wide range of human experience; we believe that the diversity of our students makes our community stronger. If you'd like to share a perspective you bring or experiences you've had to help us understand you better—perhaps related to a community you belong to, your sexual orientation or gender identity, or your family or cultural background—we encourage you to do so. Real people are reading your application, and we want to do our best to understand and appreciate the real people applying to Duke. (250 words maximum)
Keep in mind this is optional. Do not submit anything that does not improve your profile. Above all resist the temptation to reuse an essay from another college application. People in admissions offices are familisr with various esay prompts and can easily spot a copy/paste job.
