Top Law Schools

As for Duke PT, do you send in your LSDAS report and then the school offers priority track admission?

Can someone tell me exactly how this works? I tried looking through their website and... blah.. Thank:D

You get offered after taking the LSAT, through the CRS, a' la a fee waiver. It is usually offered to 172 3.6-169 3.9 type candidates.

But what if I'm taking the LSAT way before I apply? I'm saying like two years before I start applying. Would I be offered priority track after receiving my score? (and provided that I can save that offer until two years later?).

I took the LSAT only in fall 08 and was offered it in both fall 08 and fall 09

Ahh, okay:D

How would they know of my GPA, though?

Tell the CRS you have a good GPA? It never hurts to send your transcripts in over the summer, though.

One last question, and I'll thank you my heart out:D

I'm taking two years off undergrad to work, so I don't have my full transcripts yet. Would it be possible for Duke to offer PT once I send in my transcripts right after I graduate (Since I will have taken my LSAT by then)? Or are PTs offered after LSAT scores are released?

I think they need your LSAT score, but don't quote me on that. If you've got 3.6+, then you generally need around a 170 to get a PT invite. Make sure you write a "Why Duke" if/when you do, because otherwise you have a good chance of getting waitlisted.

PT is awesome (Duke is my only acceptance so far) and Dean Hoye rocks. Good luck.

In that case, it is unclear whether the PT will even exist then. Also, the PT is not a requirement for admission. Worry about that later . Asking for a PT invite has been successful before as well for people within Duke's sweetspot.

Finally, why leave undergrad? College is fun.

Good Luck!
