I've been a lurker for months but the wait has gotten to me so deeply that I finally had to voice my impatience here! I'm a reverse splitter with pretty strong softs (at least I think/hope so). From what I've seen here I've started hoping that my high GPA will give me some pull but I guess we shall see. Duke has become my number 1 so I'm getting antsy DAHH.

Any guesses as to when I can expect UR2 and how far the jump is for UR2 to a decision?

I have similar dates so far, RD complete on 11/20 and UR 1/21.

I've been UR1 since 1/6 after being complete since 10/28. So probably not for a while.

Went UR2 this morning, I'm PT and my tenth day is Sunday so still just waiting but thought I'd check in and see if anybody has similar dates.

Complete: 1/30
UR1: 1/31
UR2: 2/04

I'm right at 75th for GPA and 1 point under median for LSAT, so it could go either way. Getting soo anxious/excited to hear back from places, productivity has dropped to an all time low as I bounce between 5 different status checkers a few times each hour

The priority reserve table has the coolest ones. Priority reserve is an oxymoron, isn't it?

I completely agree with this sentiment. Based on the numbers I've seen here from some people who got the PT track I feel fairly confident I could've been one of them, but I submitted my applications crazy fast after I formally signed up on LSAC for the credential services. I'd emailed them about a fee waiver and they said they look into this stuff every few weeks so I honestly don't know if I'd ever been looked at for the potential of a PT invite.

Waiting forever as a result (with zero communication from adcomms there) doesn't exactly sell the school well when compared with others that I know I'm in at, and even some that I'm still waiting for. This is just very very bad PR on a small scale.

I got offered a fee waiver + PT about a week after scores came out for the Dec exam. I was really surprised, and am fully expecting a ding....but would be thrilled with a WL. Stats in profile.

I doubt it was just based on LSAT score, since I had a 176 and wasn't offered PT. I emailed the admissions office and they granted a fee waiver though.

I totally agree with the sentiments above about the PT/non-PT thing. Maybe in a world without the internet, it wouldn't be a big deal. But the whole process is now very transparent in terms of dates. So seeing this in crowd/out crowd is really off-putting, especially because the gap between decision timetables is so huge.

Congrats! I take it you're still waiting to submit or are still waiting to hear?

Thanks! I'm submitting today. I'll keep y'all posted.

There doesn't look to be any rhyme or reason to it. Is that the consensus?
