Went complete on 01/09, does anyone know how long I can expect to wait to go under review this late in the cycle?

Does anyone know when EDII decisions came out last year? Tried to look and I was unsuccessful.

I am wondering the exact same thing. Exactly two weeks from today at the latest! Ahhhh can't wait any longer.... :shock: :shock: I asked my friend who applied ED last year, and she said it was around the deadline (Jan 31).

I thought a few have reported faster turn-around times?
I was complete on monday and accepted by friday, but I think between 5 and the full 10 is normal.

Feb. 15 is the application deadline, so maybe by Feb. 25 all the RD applications will (hopefully) go more quickly? on a super cursory glance at lsn, it looks like non-pt applicants have a big wave in late feb/early march

Duke has no specifics, length or otherwise?
nah, it's not like Penn. No prompt, just one page, double spaced. My Why Xs were all basically "how can this school specifically help me achieve my particular career goals" + "how can I contribute to what the school is trying to achieve," but there's a bunch of examples on the TLS wiki and on the greater web if you look.

Do you mean the optional essay that asks Why Law and Why Duke? That's supposed to be submitted with the application. Or for a LOCI? That's supposed to be submitted after a WL. For what are you writing this?

Once your status changes to "decision made", how long until the email shows up?

Do weekends count towards the 10 day window? Today's day 9 from completion for me, but day 10 is a Sunday and it's also MLK weekend, so does that mean I should expect a decision on Tuesday instead?

To answer my own question, it took me about an hour after my status changed.

In via PT! Above LSAT 75th, below GPA 25th. So excited!!
