Sarah Gorbatov

Class of 2026
University Scholar
(She/Her/Hers)

Hometown: Tenafly, New Jersey

Majors: Biology (Concentration: Neurobiology) and Russian
Minor: Computer Science

Hobbies: My interests include exploring the underlying neural correlates for behavior, learning languages, listening to & making music, spending time outside (in the water especially!), and (intentionally) watching bad movies with my family.

Why Duke?

Duke checked (and continues to check) all of my boxes: from rigorous academic opportunities in my niche fields of interest to interdisciplinary, cutting-edge research to a thriving Jewish community to a stunning campus. A year in, and I'm still as awestruck as when I first applied.
