All of you PT?!?!?!

[Arrow4Christ]

All of you PT?!?!?!

I am.

Tenth Day PT, no status change for me yet.

[JustHawkin]

Has anyone ever solicited PT?

[hweigel]

I'm on the 10th day of PT as well (Complete 1/8 and 2nd UR 1/15). My status still says File Under Review.

[retaking23]

Has anyone ever solicited PT?

I think I MIGHT have, although unintentionally. I sent an email asking for a fee waiver and was referred to the admissions director, who gave me a curious response. Curious in that it was not the usual "wait and see if we select you through CRS/ forward proof of financial burden/ sorry, no fee waiver for you." He told me that I would probably be getting a waiver when the CRS refers me but that he might be able to speed things up if I explain to him why I'm interested in Duke. I did and, lo and behold, PT invite a couple of days later.

Interesting things go on with this whole PT process.

I wonder what the wait time is for those who aren't under PT... (like me)

Similar here -- except I got the waiver and not the PT. Kind of sucks b/c I would definitely consider Duke, but I actually need to decide by Feb what I'm doing, and I've been at file complete for at least six weeks w/ no movement.

Anyone have a good read on timetable for non-PT early December completes? Looked through past years of LSN and it seemed like anywhere from now through April was in play.

You could always check last year's thread to get a rough estimate. If I had to guess, I'd say you will probably find out around the Feb LSAT administration date (give or take a week) or in late Feb/ early March. But that is just unfounded speculation.

Just got status changed to "Decision Made"

Just got status changed to "Decision Made"

This is exciting!!!! Good luck!!!

Still sitting at UR.

[lsatnoob]

Submitted first week of November and went UR 1/6...I wonder what the LSAT cut off was for PT. Not knowing until march or later would really suck in terms of housing, swagger, and sanity.

Priority Reserve.

PT Complete 1/8
173/3.5

[Arrow4Christ]

To my surprise, I was put on Priority Reserve. This freaks me out about the rest of my cycle because I thought I would have auto-admit numbers at Duke

[sherealcool]

It took mine about an hour and a half. Might have helped that I'm on the east coast?
