Top Law Schools

Congrats everybody!

Dear Duke-

I know I don't deserve it, but if you let me in I promise to do lots of Pro Bono, pass the bar the first time, and get employed really fast. I don't want anything from Santa this year, not even two front teeth; hockey players aren't supposed to have them anyway. I'll even get some milk and cookies for the Dean.

review 13th, date changed to 11/19, but nothing today guess I'll have to wait until the 23rd.

Congrats everybody. i like how rockchalk and tarheel both just got in at Duke. Talk about clash of the blue bloods

UR 11/12, PT, UR again 11/19. still nothing.....I should hear by tonight right?

Have any admits here recieved emails from current students asking if you have any questions? I just got an email from a current student who went to a UG in my state and asked if i wanted to meet up for lunch/coffee if i decided to make a visit to duke. Is that common?

Probably not...most people have 10 days without including the first day...

i.e. As a PT, i went UR 11/11 and found out 11/21

u should probably hear tomorrow

I havn't gotten anything like that, but I have only been accepted for a week.

I'm PT and I got a decision today, which is my 11th day. WL'd... :'( My stats will out me, so PM me for them. I'm happy for all you guys that got accepted. Good luck with the rest of your cycles!

Really wanted to get into Duke. Someone who doesn't intend to go to Duke please withdraw ASAP!! lol

I think the lanyard qualifies as "unique." Not really "exciting" though.

too bad my lanyard already broke. RIP. they should send me another one

Wait list or Priority Reserve?

Wait list...

I didn't realize they were making a distinction between WL and Priority Reserve at this point. I don't remember anyone being WL from PT so early in the cycle last year.

hopefully their education isn't as flimsy as the stuff they give us to promote it.

Well my e-mail says, "Thank you for applying to Duke Law School through our Priority Track review process. I am writing to inform you of the status of your application for admission. We have completed a thorough review of your application, and would like to offer you a space on our waitlist for this year's entering class." I'm assuming that I did not get Priority Reserve... Do you think I'm the only person wait listed from PT?? Man... now I feel like a huge loser... I feel like I was just rejected outright.

Sorry I wasn't trying to make you feel bad at all. Also, I'm not even close to any kind of expert on Duke admissions and my sample size is posters on TLS. In other words I don't have much information and it's very possible that there are a lot of people being waitlisted at this point in time. It kind of seems like they are being a bit more cautious this year as far as straight up admitting people early. I'm guessing they aren't totally sure what to expect from applicants this year due to the increase of applications.

Congratulations! I didn't think there would be any action on a Sunday...how cool. Don't forget to post your good news on the "Who have you heard from..." thread.

Ugh, waitlisted. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come for my cycle.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Did you write a "Why Duke" essay? I know they aren't known for their YP, but with your numbers, it seems like it might be a possibility. Also, when did you find out?

I didn't write a Why Duke essay. Maybe that was a mistake. They emailed me today.

Really looks like YP in your case. 172/3.6, while a moderate split, is pretty good for Duke. Unless you have no softs or wrote a horrible PS or something. Maybe try a LOCI.
