Just looked at status checker - "decision made, watch for email"

To stop myself from throwing up and/or refreshing my email a million times, what's been the average wait time in between that message and the actual email for y'all?

I'm honestly really devastated. Only one person with my numbers on MyLSN has been WL/Rejected. I'm gonna pour over my application again and see if there's something wrong. Fuck.

You're about to kill the LSAT next week so no worries.

I'm already over 75th so I don't know how much of a difference it'll make but thank you for the encouragement.

Gonna draft a LOCI and get another LoR to try to boost my odds of getting off the list. I wrote a Why Duke so I guess I should talk about completely different reasons why I want to go since what I had apparently wasn't compelling enough.

Good luck, sliz!

Damn, im sure youll be fine..your numbers are great just go over that application, maybe somethings amiss. Also about being over 75th, i know its diminishing returns after you get over a schools 75ths but is there still a benefit to it? Im down to spend 200 dollars on rewriting in Feb even if its only a small boost. Like would a 3.3 173 and Duke be the same for scholarship and acceptance purposes as a 3.3 177?

Thank you!! Worst happens, I'll be sitting on the waitlist with you and we can vent about it together!

(I'm just not allowing myself to think that the worst that can happen is I get rejected. Nope. Not gonna think it.)

I'm over here on day 7 DYING. I took a bit of a risk with my PS topic and really didn't do optional essays, so I'm getting progressively more nervous. Good luck to everyone else!

Congrats, slizerd! Do we know when in December scholarship apps will go out?

Thank you! I honestly have no idea exactly when; the email just said scholly apps would go out 'sometime' in December, and then scholarship decisions would go out 'soon after' that. It also said they're going to do optional interviews for scholarships. Nervous all over again about that haha

lolRCscrewyou · Post by **lolRCscrewyou** » Fri Nov 27, 2015 11:49 pm

Does anyone have ideas about when decisions will go out for those of us unlucky enough to not get invited for priority track?
