Finally, some good news about my cycle.

In! JD/LLMLE. This is how I feel...



Submit: End of Oct
UR1: Mid Dec
UR2: Early Feb
Decision: 2/9

Above 25th in LSAT/GPA

Also: been saving this 200th post.

Congrats! Definitely worth the 200th post.

So, how long after the decision should one send a LOCI?

I sent mine 5 days after priority reserve notification.

late check in....still nothing. URM with good softs and GPA> 75th, but lsat at a 163...
wrote both optional essays and tailored my personal statement somewhat...
only applied because of the fee waiver but this really has turned into my top choice, although it is a stretch with my numbers i'm keeping faith

What kind of URM? Shouldn't be a stretch at all actually.

This may sound like something you don't want to hear but I got a low score on my first LSAT and went through an entire cycle. Then I studied over the summer and throughout September, got a HUGE score improvement and had a chance to interview at Harvard. If I were you, I'd bite the bullet and apply next year with stronger numbers.

You also have an excellent GPA. You could go anywhere if you just gave up two months of your life to LSAT improvement.

UR1 12/19 -> UR2 02/12

How long between UR2 and decision?

[edwardt1988]

Anyone else get the email about the PR interest from them?

[rigoding]

Anyone else get the email about the PR interest from them?

Yea I got one too.

[Vexed]

Anyone else get the email about the PR interest from them?

Ditto.

Is everybody PR, or is there also a WL? I know they keep mentioning they don't rank applicants, but I'm wondering if there's a "priority" pool, and then the rest.

I think there's also a WL because I think some people have mentioned being on it.

Got the email as well.

Also, I'm pretty sure Duke has a WL, so PR is in fact different.

Out of curiosity, when did you apply (UR-1 / UR-2 etc.)?

[Otunga]

I might write a Duke LOCI since I got the same PR email you guys did.

UR1 12/19 -> UR2 02/12

How long between UR2 and decision?

Also curious about this. I went 12/19 -> 2/6. I'm hoping for news soon. They've gotta let the non-PT folk in sometime right?

Changed from 1/13 to 2/12 last night.

Changed from 1/13 to 2/12 last night.

The note up at the top has changed to:

"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."

Sounds like I'm W/L, but I haven't heard anything yet. Anyone else have this notification? Or has it always been that way, and I'm just noticing it now?

Mine says the same thing. I think it's always been that way.

[Lightworks]

lol, thanks. I just googled the message, and found a post from last year's topic where someone was wondering the same thing. Good to know, though.

Mine says the same thing. I think it's always been that way.

It definitely changed for me a few days ago, when my under review date updated from September to February. The old message at the top used to say something about how "...your application will go through multiple stages of review...feel free to send in additional materials, etc. etc." (or something like that), and now it's just that simple message about sending additional materials.

Yeah, that does ring a bell now that you mention it. Mine might have changed as well. I've been UR2 for a week now and I haven't heard a peep one way or the other. Maybe it changes when you go from UR1 to UR2. I feel like Duke is overdue for a large wave of non-pt decisions. It might be easier to read tea leaves once we have more data.

gotta be a huge wave coming by week's end

Hoping the same

Not so sure about that. NC got crushed by a huge snow and ice storm yesterday. They're probably still going to be shut down tomorrow.
