[Knock]

Just received my invitation. Anyone else?

Edit:

Received via email 8:14am pst on 08/12/10 if anyone is curious.

Numbers are 3.8 / 171.

Duke Class of 2013 numbers:

GPA: 25th//50th/75th 3.68/3.8/3.9
LSAT: 25th/50th/75th 168/170/171

[vsl89]

Got a fee waive, but no PT invite.

[saito816]

Just received my invitation as well. However, I only have a 160 LSAT, so I was pretty shocked to get it, does this mean that I have a decent shot at Duke? My GPA is 3.87, and I'm an AA Male, so that's probably why I got it...

[bofaem]

i think i did also
i cant get home email at work--but on my phone i can only see the subject: duke priority track and fee waiver-so im assuming thats what it is

edit: 171 3.8x

[granger]

Been hoping for it. Guessing at 3.6x/171, it's not in the cards, but who knows.

While I would be careful equating PT invite to high chance of acceptance, I would definitely say you have a shot. That's a great GPA (congrats btw) and a solid LSAT. definitely send them an application, I know some AA males with 160's that got into Virginia, which is slightly better ranked.

The Priority Track program allows you to submit your application materials at any time prior to the February 15 deadline. Your application fee will be automatically waived when you submit your application through LSAC; you should not need to enter a code.

This is a non-binding program; if you are admitted to Duke, you may freely consider offers of admission from other law schools.

Please note that several elements are required to complete your file, including a Credential Assembly Service (LSDAS) Law School Report, your application form, a resume, a personal statement, and two letters of recommendation.

I got one too! I wasn't really sure I was going to apply there, but now I might as well. Mostly just to take a visit to Carolina.

[Hannibal]

Curse me and my October LSAT.

I assume one can't do priority track in November (assuming I demolish the LSAT)

Here's what you get when you register:

Thank you for your interest in Duke Law School! We have received your registration for our Priority Track application process. When your application becomes complete it will receive an immediate, comprehensive review and we will mail a response within ten days. The response may be a notification that you have been selected for admission, denied, waitlisted, or held for further review by the Admissions Committee.

Please remember that your application must be complete before we can begin the Priority Track review. A complete file includes your LSDAS Law School Report, two letters of recommendation, your resume, and a personal statement. We will request your LSDAS Law School Report soon after you submit your application, but it generally takes two to three weeks for us to receive the report in the mail from the Law School Admission Council. Your application fee will be waived automatically if you use the LSAC electronic application service; if you submit a paper application please include a copy of your Priority Track invitation letter in lieu of the fee.

We encourage you to begin learning about Duke Law by exploring our website, http://www.law.duke.edu. However, you will get the best sense of our intellectual and social community by visiting the campus, where you can take a tour, sit in on a class, attend one of the regular talks and conferences, and meet with a member of our admissions staff. Information about arranging a visit can be found here: http://www.law.duke.edu/admis/visit

We appreciate your interest in Duke Law, and look forward to reviewing your application.

Are you guys all CRS registered with an LSDAS GPA on file?

[kazu]

I got an invite too!! Seems like they're sending out ones to everybody with >3.5 GPAs and >170 LSATs.

Their median GPA is a lot higher than I expected though

[mfeller2]

No, they still haven't recieved my official undergrad transcript, but I have an official LSAT.

Where did you find this info, Knockglock?

[CreativityKing]

Got one - pm for stats

Also got one last year...working before law school. I'm hoping this is indicative of more fee waivers that I was issued last year coming through again this year...?

[bofaem]

wait a second--there is nothing about when we can submit, i thought it was sept1 but can we submit before then?

[lawls]

Got it as well. Over median GPA, over 75th LSAT. I'll apply PT due to the fee waiver--I hear Duke is generous with scholarships, might be worth a look.
