I was updated today as well so someone at Duke is clearly working despite the holiday.

Duke doesn't close on President's Day.

When should we hear about scholarships?

[CMC88]

Has anyone gotten a status update for more info required?

When should we hear about scholarships?

If you submitted your Need Access and Duke's merit/need aid application sheet at least a week ago, you should hear back within the next 1-2 weeks.

Has anyone gotten a status update for more info required?

I did when I applied PT back in October. They sent me an email requesting a specifically updated resume and my status was "more info required," or something along those lines until I responded.

ETA: if you haven't received an email from them asking for anything specific, hang tight for a day or two. ...and check your spam folder.

[dukie4]

Finally under review. && yes Duke is open today, we don't get any days off!

[law_app_noob]

Has anyone gotten a status update for more info required?

I did. They wanted to ask me for another LoR and get some info about my previous enrollment in grad school.

Edit: Also, it took about 4 weeks from that point to get a decision email.

[masked kavana]

I had an update!

UR1 10/22
UR2 2/18

File under review for the first time as of yesterday! Welcome to the duke thread...

I did as well. They wanted confirmation of good standing for my brief attendance of law school/medical withdrawal. Quick & easy, and they update you of their receipt promptly!

For those of you who have received your merit/need scholarship packages, how long should I be waiting until I assume I'm not getting anything? on status checker it says scholarship application received 2/8, and I had need access submitted a few days before. I ask because, once I've determined Duke is not sending me anything, I'm going to have to come back to them with my other offers on the table and I'd rather do that sooner than later. I'm not giving up on you Duke!!

Thanks!

I'm still waiting for mine. Got an email last week stating that they are looking at it and it would be 2-3 weeks (processing this in the order apps were received).

Okay. I'll keep waiting hopefully then :)

Was admitted 9/29, my status checker updated from "Decision made; watch for email (9/29)" to "Decision Made (2/19)" today. The status checker did not, however, show that my scholarship award has been mailed like Duke said it would once the award is ready. Maybe I'm reading too far into an innocent change. Or maybe our awards are en route.

Edit: Scholarship app was received by Duke on 1/11 FYI.

Ditto and we have very similar #s.

[BigZuck]

Oh, mine updated too! Thanks for the heads up!

Didn't that email also imply that they would notify you whether or not you were receiving aid? Or am I making that up? Would be equally helpful to know if they are offering nothing.
