How'd it go? Sorry I was too late but I would have just told you it was really casual anyway

My application just went UR2 or UR3, idk, and the message changed to "We appreciate your continued interest in Duke Law School.
If you would like to submit additional/updated material, feel free to do so by email (admissions@law.duke.edu) or U.S. postal mail." Any ideas if this might mean more waiting instead of a decision soon?

Mine's said that ever since I went UR1 (through PT) and it still says that even tho I was admitted back in Nov! So I honestly don't know what it signifies but I wouldn't be too worried since it doesn't seem out of the ordinary!

Ya, what everyone said in the thread was pretty applicable. It went a little longer, maybe 20/25 minutes. I think I rambled a bit, but we'll find out in ~3 weeks according to him.

+1 UR2 as of yesterday (2/9) and my message up top also changed to the same thing. It used to be something along the lines of "your application will go under review several times" and something about this being a rigorous process, if I'm remembering correctly...

I got the same screen 2/2 and haven't heard anything since. I'm leaning towards this meaning a good deal more waiting :x

yeah I read somewhere that its not disadvantageous to interview later at Duke because their scholarship money doesn't work the same way or something. that being said, I'd check back into the interview portal often just to see if an earlier spot clears up!

I went UR2 on 2/6 and four days later still no notification.. Does this mean we will go for UR3?

Oh no. That means I should temper my expectations so I'm not too disappointed when I get home.
