Duke, can you send my waitlist/rejection now rather than waiting until April? Thanks.

In at Duke! I received a phone call from Dean Hoye today at approximately 11:00. Applied ED for JD/LLM and went complete/review 11/29. I was contacted for an on-campus interview and met with Dean Hoye on the 18th of December. Very interesting interview over an hour.

Not quite what I expected, and some very direct questions/concerns regarding my personal circumstances. I am an older, married, non-traditional student with children, starting a second career. I am excited to attend Duke Law, and would recommend taking advantage of an on-campus interview if you have the opportunity. I am a firm believer that the interview made the difference in the decision.

Wishing everyone luck with their cycle and a Merry Christmas. Please feel free to PM me if you have specific questions.

looking at your numbers, i can't imagine what you have to worry about!

Since I don't really feel like lurking through 60+ pages, does anyone know the normal length of time between "in review" and a decision?

I don't know the normal length of time. But my abnormal wait has been UR since 10/12.

I can't wait to get on the waitlist.

I was admitted and turned in my scholarship application. At what point should I assume that no large scholarship will be forthcoming due to the lack of an interview invite. Does anyone know how many Mordecais are awarded a year and how many people are asked to campus to interview?

[wackjickham]

Anyone else just get a WL email?

Ugh...

Ugh...

Sorry to hear that, at least you're in at other great schools. It's been deathly quiet around this board lately...I'm hoping the admissions folks return from the Christmas slumber soon -- with happy thoughts, joy, and good tidings for all.

[urban_cdn]

does anyone know when duke typically starts reconsidering applications put on priority reserve?

I was also under review since early October - but just got in via email. So the long wait isn't always wl or ding

Congrats! It was my first acceptance too and it felt great! And no - no call for me just the welcome email:)

In today via email to the LLM/JD program. Under review since October 1... it's been a long wait!

Sorry to repost, but no one has responded. When I began my applications, Duke was one of my top choices, but I don't know that I can justify the cost at Duke when I've already gotten into top 5 schools. Any sort of substantial scholarship could definitely pull me back towards Duke, but if one isn't coming, I guess I will have to withdraw to free up a spot for someone else.

How long between when you were admitted and when you got the packet in the mail?

And I have no idea when specifically they give out scholarships. But from what I read here and LSN, they give out money continuously. I think you would get invited to apply for Mordecai once they review your scholarship form at the earliest. (although I'm guessing invites go out in batches). I wouldn't give up hope on money yet. Give it until the end of jan or feb at least.
