Logged in to check on my scholarship status and my application no longer has a "Current Status" nor a "Current Status Date." All of my mailings have remained the same and nothing indicates that a scholarship offer was mailed out to me.

This change happened in the last hour and a half too, as that was when I last checked my status (I know I have a problem). I have no idea what this means but it is weird...

I want to rescind this comment. I know exactly what this means. I'll now be checking my status every 15 minutes instead of every hour and a half. It's not like I have finals to study for. *shakes fist at Duke*

I'm guessing it means an update is on the way?

Man, I'm still sitting at my scholarship was received as my last update *headdesk*

Exciting news! So it seems like they're sending out scholarships based on original acceptance date and not based on when they received the scholarship form. Blah

I do, however, really wish they would send out scholarships by email....regular mail is too slow for me.

Snail mail seems to be an odd choice considering how efficient the rest of the admission process has been. PT was so amazing though that I feel bad complaining about having to wait a few days for scholarship info.

Decision mailed. Went complete early November.

I'm definitely thinking they're going by complete date.

I'm not so sure - someone mentioned getting theirs mailed and PT complete in January. I went PT complete in November and still no scholly mailed.

Nothing here yet.

Went PT complete within the first few days of November but didn't send my $ app until early February.

It seems like based off recent scholarships sent out this demonstrates that despite Duke saying they are doing this process according to some set of criterion, really it is a combination of different criteria, which are considered in some unpredictable fashion making it virtually impossible to derive any principled basis for their methodology rendering any prognostications baseless at best.

Oh wait, I just described the entire law school applications process.

I'm really excited to see the types of offers Duke is giving this year. Top 10, great clerkship placement, amazing weather, ridiculously cheap COL (and did you SEE the gorgeous housing options), and uhh really good southern food (I love ribs and brisket).... what's not to love. All I need is some $$$, please!

Scholly being shipped off tomorrow!

Early Jan. submit, mid Jan. decision, and I think I emailed my scholarship form on 1/31.
Come on big $$$! And good luck to the rest of y'all.
