Duke c/o 2016 Applicants Thread (2012-2013 Cycle) Forum

Does anyone have any info on the ED grant of 15k? One time? Renewable? 5k over 3 yrs?

I know that is is not renewable and am 98% sure it is one time lump sum of 15K.

[sinfiery]

For those of you on PR, I emailed asking of they could do a phone or Skype interview with dean hoye, per the email yesterday. They said no, it has to be in-person.

That is seriously weird.

Job statistics.. they had it someplace on their website and info. about 31% go to NYC. Let me see if I can find it and I will post again.

I was a bit off on the 31% on NYC -- it is 25% in the northeast for the class of 2011. Sorry about that..

Don't trust Duke to tell you about Duke.

Still good numbers though.

If there are 207 grads and 197 are employed how is that 100%?

lawschooltransparency.com is a better source for stuff like this.

agreed but that is only 10 students that are in a weird state of which a few are "not seeking". Still impressive. I could swear I read 100% someplace official. Can't find it now of course.

[PM2353]

I read 100% too. Found it in US News and World Report book I found at Barnes And Nobles.

Thanks. I was hoping for renewable but I knew better. Hoping to put at least a small dent in tuition being on ED.

I'm pretty much looking at it as having one academic year where I don't have to worry about funding living expenses purely off of loans. That, and funding the relocation to Durham.

Out of curiosity: did y'all with Priority Review and these "BH1s" write Why Dukes?

PR. No, but tailored my PS. Kinda.


Thinking I might do the interview for lulz.

No, I emailed them about the ED grant and it is not lump sum. They give you 5k a year.

Thanks bud. Still hoping they can give me just a bit more to ease my mind. I am urm but still an ED. 5 to 10k more is what I'm hoping for

Let us know how it goes. You might be the only one on to take them up on this interview, so there probably won't be (m)any other reports.

Will do. Hope I can work it out. Duke's the only law school I applied to. Seems perfect on paper, so I'd like to check it out in person. If I don't get in I'll be back haha.

Eat at the Q-Shack!

EDIT: I visited in October after I was admitted, feel free to PM me with questions.

[az21833]

for pt applicants, was the 10 business days or normal days

[bluepenguin]

Mine was 3 business days. I think it says 10 normal days.

[Eichörnchen]

Just got my email - I'm IN!

--ImageRemoved--

[bluepenguin]

Congrats!

Congratulations!

non-PT decisions coming in ftw

[Merylian]

Congrats!

How long has it been taking for non-ED, non-PT applicants? I commend and envy the patience of everyone who submitted back in October and is not insane yet. I only sent in my app a week ago, so I know I haven't the slightest reason to hope, yet can't stop myself from refreshing the status checker daily.

[Vincent]

I'm going to be visiting in two weeks, and I have two days to hang out in Durham (the Duke visit is the third day). Any suggestions for things I should try?

[Eichörnchen]

Thanks And, well, it took from the second week if October until now. And don't be fooled; I have gone insane. I've spent much of my time from then until tonight cursing that I didn't get PT and being convinced that there was something especially wrong with me that was causing them to ignore me. I'm so relieved and happy to be in.

No, but I sent in a why duke in an LOCI last night with my email asking about the interview, so I'm hoping that will help them come to a decision quickly

[Crowing]

i don't understand why schools wait so long for most WLs/dings when it's obvious that many ticketed for that route aren't getting in unless half of the admitted people get sucked into a dimensional vortex or something. I'm pretty sure I've been in the WL pile since October

Still UR 9/28.
