Congratulations!

You should add your info to this spreadsheet if you haven't already: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... li=1#gid=3

How do I add my stats? I don't see any stats on the page. My numbers are 4.00 +167.

Has anyone successfully solicited PT from accelerated ED? If so, how did you go about it? Thanks.

free food
^^^ This part is important.

FOR REAL. I think it was given by the law firm hosting the session, so don't get your hopes up too high in other cities. We had crudites, hummus, cheese, crackers, fruit, and dessert. It was glorious.

Possibility of information and possibility of food. Go.
I also went, food spread was strong. Info about the applications was useless if yours were in, but there was some good info on the schools/their priorities/how they market themselves.

Also, laughing at -2Ls aka like college sophomores who got invited
Like ships in the night...
I sat kind of near the front and Dean Deal was not having it for this one girl who tried to keep participating.

Update: the spread delivered in a major way, but no one was eating! I'm pretty sure all of the deans could hear me crunching carrots in the back....BUT, I was inspired to finish my "Why Duke" essay afterward, and I have officially submitted!

Did you try to solicit?

I am a splitter, would it worth it try and solicit a PT invite?

$70 fee waiver and a 10-day decision...or don't bother asking because it might not be worth it? (Hope this sounds as silly as your question

)

Just be prepared to give a "Why Duke" spiel

I'll give it a shot.

I suppose it was a silly question.

Did not solicit. I was waiting for them to start sending PT invites out once October scores were posted. Not sure why they didn't give me the invite, but I guess I'll just solicit it next week or something. Could directly solicit from the dean today at their panel, but that seems like really bad form.

Are there any trends for the time of day you receive your PT response on day 10? Typically later in the day from what I've gathered here?

It honestly can vary but I think a lot of people went "Decision Made" around 5 EST and then got the decision by 6.

The admin gods must have been listening-- in about 10 minutes after I posted this haha

Admitted last Friday! Thank god for PT. good way to start my cycle as well.

3.59 / 174 / international student (but US undergrad) / former military/war experience so that was pretty good for me I guess.

I'm a 3.3/172 splitter but got an unsolicited PT invite + fee waiver yesterday. Honestly Duke wasn't even on my radar, don't think I'm good enough to get in, but hey, we'll see what happens!
