UR (2?) 11/10

[RedWhite&Blonde]

I applied before the Priority Track emails were sent, so I don't know if I would have gotten one (LSAT and GPA are both above the 75%). Getting nervous because I still haven't heard back, though my application status says "under review."

What's your UR date?

PT emails were sent before the cycle began so that's not exactly possible. Hth.

I did get an unsolicited fee waiver, though.

Emerging from lurkerdom to say I got in PT around 11PM EST last night! Duke is my top choice and I'm about 90% sure I'll be attending in the fall.

I noticed that my email has no language about provisional acceptance/scholarship interview though...

I don't wanna insult your intelligence, but lots of people have missed things like this. What's your email say?

That's interesting. That's very interesting.

Dear Ms. Whoever:

I am pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to the Duke University School of Law. I enjoyed reading your application and learning about your many impressive achievements. We sincerely hope you will elect to join the Duke Law Class of 2019.

Your official admission letter will be delivered soon. In the meantime, I invite you to learn more about Duke by visiting the new students webpage. Your user name is XXXXXXXX and the password is XXXXXXXX.

I look forward to working with you over the next several months. If I can assist you, please feel free to contact me.

That was it. No further info.

What are your stats? I wonder whether they're planning on giving you a Mordecai or something and therefore you don't need to apply for a scholarship.

Congrats Jenny, and welcome to TLS!

I did apply for a scholarship/ED program available to Duke grads, but my numbers aren't Mordecai-worthy. 3.7/173. Interviews for finalists for the program are supposed to happen in January but I haven't heard anything regarding that yet.

And thanks, cub1014

Your letter is probably worded that way if it's binding ED. Your acceptance isn't provisional, it's a definite thing.

Are there any other early September applicants that went UR in September or early October that are still hanging out?

Yep! (I know this shouldn't bug me, but one of the students at my school was admitted a month ago--with a relatively similar profile, although I'd argue I have stronger softs). I just went under review (again) yesterday, 12/15. I applied in early October, but my application was also held for my Oct LSAT score.

date change today! pls let this mean good news soon

I'm new to TLS, and I don't know if anyone asked these questions earlier in this thread or somewhere else in the forum.

Does Duke send PT invitations after Dec LSAT? If it does, how long after the score release?

I'm waiting for my Dec LSAT score, but the rest of my application is ready to submit. I don't know whether I should wait to be invited to the PT (GPA 4.10, expected LSAT 169/170) or just submit the application the day I get my score?

Not sure about the first part of your question, but I remember a few people successfully soliciting PT earlier in the thread if I'm not mistaken.

You're not mistaken. Just ask them if you qualify for PT when you get your score

In at Duke! On my 10th PT day. I was pretty sure I wasn't getting in towards the end there, because my application status check went from UR straight to Decision Made (without ever saying UR 2). Thankfully I read the cards wrong!

Anyone else just get the scholarship application information email? Mentions a Skype Interview with a member of the scholarship committee.
