10 days means 10 days. I suppose ignoring the thanksgiving exception or the 11th day emails. I'm assuming you are PT, you should have heard something. No "decision made" update on status checker?

Nope, still says under review. Might give it another day before I email them. Good to know though.

I don't want to insult your intelligence (your numbers are better than mine fwiw), but you did do the PT "registration" thing and when you went complete you got an email that said "your PT application is complete. You will receive a decision within 10 days." Or something similar, right?

Yesterday would have been 10 if complete on the 8th. That is odd. I'd call today, but if you're okay with waiting, giving them another day won't hurt.

I have been having a similar issue. I was complete for PT on Nov. 9, and am still under UR2. Hopefully we hear today or tonight PST. Fingers crossed for you!

I got the email in the evening on the 10th day, but I've heard of at least one PT decision past the 10 day mark, so don't lose hope!!

I got in on the 16th and my status checker just put "Welcome packet" under mailings, with the date 11/19. They haven't sent me an email today, though- are they talking about the acceptance email they sent on the 16th? Are they sending me something through snail mail? Does anyone here who was accepted know what this means?

I got in a few days before you and I just checked my status checker...doesn't say "Welcome packet" for mine, it still says "Decision made; watch for email". I think we're supposed to receive something through snail mail.

I already received the Welcome to Duke Law email so should I be concerned that my status checker hasn't changed and I haven't received anything from Duke via snail mail?
Yes, you get a cool folder full of Duke stuff in the mail. It's got a more formal acceptance letter, some tchotchkes, a Duke Law magazine, and some other promotional materials and such.
