Priority Reserve mid December. Sent in a LOC/Why Duke mid Jan. Haven't heard anything..
Priority reserve mid-November. LOCI, extra LOR, updated transcripts. Not expecting any movement until April at least. Wish I had the $$ to go down for an interview.
PR as well, I ended up going there to interview due to my premature panic of getting waitlisted everywhere. I was informed that they anticipate taking people off PR this year (he seemed confident about that)

I had a date change today, so does that mean UR2? I've been UR since 1/5 and complete since 12/1. I just wasn't sure if the status changed or just the date.

I got the scholarship letter today, and Duke was fairly generous. It's definitely going to complicate my decision making process. I live in the Southeast, so my mail probably had an easier trip to my mailbox.

Does the status checker change directly from "scholarship interview instructions" to "scholarship decision mailed" or are there updates between that acknowledging completion of interview, receipt of Need Access, etc.?

No Why Duke, considering the LOCI path
UR2 on 1/5, submitted in November, no pt

Does Duke conduct on-campus interviews? I thought you can visit, attend the class and meet with the admission person if you have any questions, sort of Q & A session when they will answer your questions about the admission process. Do they really interview now when they ask you questions?

Scholarship Decision Mailed 2/11... seems to be a pretty fast turnover from what others had given that I interviewed two weeks ago today. Does anyone think that's a good sign or a bad sign?

Edit: My requirements list disappeared from my SC... If that standard?

I don't think it's either. During my interview the interviewer said that they would be reviewing scholarship applications in the order of interview. I interviewed just shy of two weeks ago and also got scholarship mailed today.

Good luck!

Nope, just questions about my resume, what classes I'm taking, why Duke. Then just me asking questions, whole thing lasted an hour. Pretty much just a casual convo

Same status here, scholarship decision mailed today (2/11). I interviewed two weeks ago as well, so like JF said - looks like it just means they are working through the order in which we interviewed.

I was also in the 2/6/15 scholarship batch. I received my letter yesterday and it was very generous! And I'm an ED applicant! Very surprised but happy :D

Would anyone who has received scholarship info mind sharing and/or PMing their stats? I had my scholarship interview recently and am so curious about what might be coming in a few weeks.

is it possible for the letter to say $0? Or would they just not mail anything if that were the case?

I've actually been freaking out about this, I know that would be a super weird move but I can't help feeling like maybe I'll be that one person.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
