Duke NOT Priority Track Forum

I'm starting to think I've been rejected....

[tipler4213]

Well how long is the turnover for most people? I have been UR since 11/15 after submitting 11/03

There are people here who have been under review since early October...

[tipler4213]

Right, but if that makes you "sense a rejection," is a long review suspected to be a bad sign for some reason, i.e. accepted people don't have to wait long?

Have they even admitted anyone RD yet? LSN seems to suggest it's pretty much limited to PT admits thus far.

I think there have been two or 3 RD admits in this thread, IIRC they submitted in very early october.

FWIW, the ED applicants (myself included) seem to be stuck at UR 11/8. I assume a lot of these decisions will be coming out early-mid December.

UR 10/4 here.

Submitted 10/31 and UR 11/8. RD and I submitted a "Why Duke" since 11/8.

R6 said he sensed a waitlist, not a rejection.

I think it's likely that duke is giving PT applicants (for obvious 10 day turn around reasons) and ED applicants (since their status dates have been updating) priority, maybe they are even a little bit behind in reviewing RD apps compared to last year. IMO 2-3 RD admits is not enough to base any view on what being under a long review means, but make of that what you will.

edit: i see KK said he sensed a rejection

No, it'll change to complete soon enough. You also have to allow a little extra leeway since it's the holiday weekend. Even if they are in the office, they may just be taking it easy.

[dabbadon8]

Any idea when more decisions might come out? I applied the first day and haven't heard anything since then.

[s254w]

Went under review today. Submitted 11/10. Looks like its going to be a long wait.

[etlien]

Put Priority Reserve. Whatever that means.

Waitlist that you can't get off. Sorry

When did you submit/complete? Numbers? I have been waiting for mine but it's stuck going on 9 weeks.

[crossingforHYS]

wait why cant you get off priority?
also still under review

[T6Hopeful]

It's not that you CAN'T, you just... don't.
This is from the priority track thread:

Does anyone know the approximate probability of getting accepted from the priority reserve list?

My guess is it would be reasonably high. Duke has a large acceptance rate. A lot of people apply PT just for validation knowing they won't matriculate if they get into a different school.

If I recall correctly, no one was admitted from either the PR list or the regular waiting list last year and the class was still overenrolled by around 25 students.

HTH.

[r6_philly]

Yea I was PR'ed last year because I submitted so late. I don't remember seeing anyone get off.

I wish they'd just hurry up and PR me now. I reapplied early thinking I would get in, but they blew off my request for PT for whatever reason (I have the numbers for it).

“Admission to Duke was so competitive this year that, for the first time in recent history, the Law School could not extend admission to any student on the waitlist. Applications for admission in 2010 were 25 percent higher than in 2009 (over 7,900 applications), and the admission rate was a record low 13.2 percent.”

Well yeah, I only quoted that part for context. The more prominent quote clearly agrees with what you just posted.

HTH.

This is true, however, the year before, everyone who was PRed got offered a spot who replied to an e-mail in Feb asking who was still interested. It just depends on the year. I'm still holding out hope!

[duckmoney]

I submitted literally 3 months ago now, RD. Under review 10/12, not further activity. I'm sincerely hoping that they just haven't gotten around to us RD folks yet.

[bdubs]

I'm UR at the law school as of 11/15 but I applied to the joint JD/MBA program. Anyone know if they release joint program decisions simultaneously or separately?
