In at Duke! Forum

[TheWire]

Anyone know what time they send out e-mails saying you got in?

I don't think there is a set time...i think it can be between 5 minutes to 6 hours after the status check change...mine came at about 3:30 PST

Yeah. I will consider Duke if I can escape with under 80-100K in loans. Otherwise I don't think it'd be smart given I'm hoping for government and PI work and they don't have a great LRAP.

Plus, first love never dies. Getting in so early and fast made me feel wanted--unlike schools that generally do a lot of YP like Penn and UVA.

Did you write a Why Duke essay?

Yeah, I did my homework. I wrote it about two professors at Duke I'd love to take classes from.

Assuming your numbers on LSN are correct, I would say you probably didn't even need a "Why Duke?".

I think the higher your numbers are, the more you need one.

I guess maybe if you're worried about YP, but I don't think VoidSix has high enough numbers to worry about that (although they are higher than mine).

So since I'm complete does that mean I will for sure get an e-mail today?

I don't know if there is a such that as "for sure" in law school admissions, but I'd bet a hefty wager that you will hear from them today...keep us updated...stats?

He's a virtual lock at all of CCN; pretty good reason to waitlist him from Duke's perspective. Sounds like doing some research paid off in avoiding that.

Keep in mind I have a strong personal interest in thinking Duke is YP-happy to rationalize my own WL decision.

[Kronk]

They look at your whole file when deciding scholarship money, boys. Get with the program.

Also--Duke doesn't YP much, but I think if you're at or above the 75th's at Chicago and NYU in both categories, you're probably in danger of being YP'ed at MVPBDCNG.

Decision has been made; you will be notified soon.
I actually visited Duke and was escorted by a Professor from the Law School; his wife's aunt is my mom's good friend, so he did me a great favor. I didn't mention his name in the essay, but I did say I spoke to a professor who was very giving of his time and knowledge.
Anyway, I also wrote a Why Duke? about my visit. I'm hoping for good news, but the wait is difficult and similar to the LSAT wait in some ways haha.

Well in that case, I take back everything I've said. I'm certain Duke YPs and that a simple LOCI will sway them to accept anyone at your stats or above.

As of this afternoon, my decision was made. Supposedly, I'm getting notified "soon." I was hoping to hear in the same day. Has anyone else whose decision was made today heard anything from Duke? It's 736 EST!

[bighead715]

anyone who applied as a JD/LLM hear back?

In at Duke as of 9:30. At least one t14 will let me in, so that relieves some stress.

Got my acceptance email at the same time! Really surprised, because I just went under review on 11/17.

[dms87]

Same! Congrats. I'm so excited. If my fiancee gets into UNC dental (we should hear on 12/1), then there's a > 50% chance we end up there. (barring a Harvard miracle)

[PrincessAJ]

In finally! Congrats to others!

[rowlf]

In as well, same batch as the rest of you. Incredibly happy!

[beesknees]

Congrats to those of you with acceptances! I'm still waiting. Just curious, when did you all submit/go complete?

[bighead715]

numbers for this latest batch of acceptances?
