Wl today.
I take that back, so it does look like there are two Waitlist that are for everyone
I went down to Durham last week to interview with Dean Hoye (I was placed on PR back in November). The way he explained it is that the Priority Reserve list is a (significantly) smaller pool of applicants that they continue to actively review throughout the cycle. Not entirely sure of the specific implications, but it seems safe to assume that PR has a better chance of being offered admission as people withdraw.

For anyone who just got accepted, when does the email from financial aid come with info about how to schedule a scholarship info?


From the admissions email:

The Financial Aid Office will send you the scholarship application form via email; information about how to schedule an optional interview will also be available at that time. If you apply, you will receive your official admission letter and financial aid decision soon after the Scholarship Committee completes the review.

It took a few days for me. You'll get the scholarship application form (nbd, just a few boxes to check) first, maybe in a day or two, then the interview scheduler after that.

I'd make a blood sacrifice for a UR2. Still UR1 on 12/8.

For those of you who requested a scholarship interview on the financial aid form, how long did it take before Duke got in contact with you?

Could have been a lie, but during my scholarship interview last week, the interviewer said "we still have lots of money to give."

And I think there are plenty of us who got in relatively early and haven't heard back about money yet; I think they're behind, not running out of money yet.

I'm still on UR1, and this is what mine says:

We are unable to provide an exact date of when you will be notified. A decision could be made at any time between now and the end of April.

I think everyone's screen changed recently.

Thanks for the response. I'm not talking about the layout though-- mine now says "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."
Mine says that and I'm accepted. I wouldn't read anything into it.

For those of you who haven't scheduled an interview yet, spaces filled for over a week out. Does anyone know how long after the interview before we here about aid offers? I'm assuming many people who interviewed in the past few weeks still haven't heard back.

I'm around a month out now, and have not heard.
