Anyone else not able to load Duke's status checker right now? My other checkers work... This needs to be fixed! How will I obsessively check for a status update every hour!? What if my UR date changes in the next twenty minutes!? I might not know for several hours!!!

Maybe it's related to the weird LSAC redirect:

"Same GPA range." Twas an unlisted reference to our same GPA. Assuming you read that as LSAT range. And if I'm wrong...whoops.djwjddl wrote:maybe, maybe not. i'm in that range and got 75k.dsn32 wrote:I've heard a few people in the same GPA range with 169-171 LSAT have all gotten this amount, I'd expect that unless your app was uber-tailored toward Duke.megagnarley wrote:Grats twin.

Define "uber-tailored." My app was public service oriented and my why duke was really about why I'm interested in the duke in dc program.dsn32 wrote:I've heard a few people in the same GPA range with 169-171 LSAT have all gotten this amount, I'd expect that unless your app was uber-tailored toward Duke.megagnarley wrote:Grats twin.

2-3 tenths of a percent below yours. You're in a different, more highly sought after gpa range.djwjddl wrote:my bad. RC fail. what gpa range we talking here?dsn32 wrote: "Same GPA range." Twas an unlisted reference to our same GPA. Assuming you read that as LSAT range. And if I'm wrong...whoops.

Sounds similar to mine, wrote a Why Duke and talked about why the location and specific programs were a good fit for me.RSterling wrote:Define "uber-tailored."

From 12/10 to 2/26 for me. If they wait another month to ding me I think my heart might burst.Nonconsecutive wrote:In the same boat here, had a UR1 of 11/19.snapdragon25 wrote:+1KanyeShrug wrote:I went from 11/28 to 2/26 today. Commence nail biting...

Re: Duke c/o 2016 Applicants Thread (2012-2013 Cycle)
Well, the letter just listed loans -- so, I assume that there is nothing else coming. I am going to send them competing offers that I have from other schools, but not sure if anything will change. Duke is still very high on my list, this just makes it a more difficult to attend.BigZuck wrote:They explicitly told you this in a letter? I'm sorry to hear that.curious66 wrote:Congrats.

I don't think they move that quickly, but then again, they might not be going purely in chronological order. Would y'all who received $ yesterday and today mind sharing the date they received your scholarship app?jbagelboy wrote:Anyone who sent in their scholarship form beginning of February gotten a "scholarship letter sent" notice on their status checker or anything?

To any of your who received your award letter: does it indicate that there's a way to see your info online?

Mine was received 1/11. They did not say that it was viewable online. It was weird, you get the same letter with a color copy and a black and white copy. Then they detail the loans needed to cover the remainder of what you'll owe.jym_dawg wrote:I don't think they move that quickly, but then again, they might not be going purely in chronological order.
