I've been a lurker for months but the wait has gotten to me so deeply that I finally had to voice my impatience here! I'm a reverse splitter with pretty strong softs (at least I think/hope so). From what I've seen here I've started hoping that my high GPA will give me some pull but I guess we shall see. Duke has become my number 1 so I'm getting antsy DAHH.

Any guesses as to when I can expect UR2 and how far the jump is for UR2 to a decision?
I have similar dates so far, RD complete on 11/20 and UR 1/21.

I've been UR1 since 1/6 after being complete since 10/28. So probably not for a while.

Went UR2 this morning, I'm PT and my tenth day is Sunday so still just waiting but thought I'd check in and see if anybody has similar dates.

Complete: 1/30
UR1: 1/31
UR2: 2/04

I'm right at 75th for GPA and 1 point under median for LSAT, so it could go either way. Getting soo anxious/excited to hear back from places, productivity has dropped to an all time low as I bounce between 5 different status checkers a few times each hour :) :shock:

The priority reserve table has the coolest ones. Priority reserve is an oxymoron, isn't it?

I completely agree with this sentiment. Based on the numbers I've seen here from some people who got the PT track I feel fairly confident I could've been one of them, but I submitted my applications crazy fast after I formally signed up on LSAC for the credential services. I'd emailed them about a fee waiver and they said they look into this stuff every few weeks so I honestly don't know if I'd ever been looked at for the potential of a PT invite.

Waiting forever as a result (with zero communication from adcomms there) doesn't exactly sell the school well when compared with others that I know I'm in at, and even some that I'm still waiting for. This is just very very bad PR on a small scale.

I got offered a fee waiver + PT about a week after scores came out for the Dec exam. I was really surprised, and am fully expecting a ding....but would be thrilled with a WL. Stats in profile.

I doubt it was just based on LSAT score, since I had a 176 and wasn't offered PT. I emailed the admissions office and they granted a fee waiver though.

I totally agree with the sentiments above about the PT/non-PT thing. Maybe in a world without the internet, it wouldn't be a big deal. But the whole process is now very transparent in terms of dates. So seeing this in crowd/out crowd is really off-putting, especially because the gap between decision timetables is so huge.

Congrats! I take it you're still waiting to submit or are still waiting to hear?
Thanks! I'm submitting today. I'll keep y'all posted. :D

There doesn't look to be any rhyme or reason to it. Is that the consensus?
