Okay, am I going crazy here? Did this work for you, Sebastian? The only login credentials I'm seeing are from my initial acceptance email, and they're generic. (Username = "welcome")

Thanks

Follow the Applying for Financial Aid link in the Scholarship Application email. You'll log into the Welcome site where you'll scroll down to the Scheduling an Interview section. Then follow those instructions.

Has anyone been complete for more than a month without going under review? I went complete on 12/1 and am still "ready for review"

That's UR.

So it never actually says under review?

Having dug back through this thread a bit, I'm finding quite a few people who said their status checker said "under review" so now I'm curious too.

It will say " under review," and then when you progress to the second review session, the status date will change.

I'm trying to schedule the interview but how do I get my NetID to set it up in the first place?!?!!

help

The info should be available somewhere. You dont "get" a netid. You make it.

If you're talking about scheduling the scholarship interview, go to this site (https://law.duke.edu/interview/) and use your primary email address for the username and your LSAC account number as the password. I'm not sure where they're asking for a netID, b/c that's something you receive once you enroll. The login info for the accepted students website is in your acceptance email if that's what you're referring to.

Yea. This. Sorry i wasnt more clear. Thanks jenny.

I have "under review" without going through "ready for review."

Already had my interview. I would keep checking the scheduling site to see if there are cancellations or new openings. I was able to snag a spot for an interview two weeks earlier than my initial time.

Oh wow, that's pretty cool.

Lurker checking in here. I applied PT and today is my 10th day post complete but I still haven't heard anything yet/status checker still says "under review." I'm assuming it's too late to expect anything today but wasn't sure if anyone else has had the same thing happen to them.

I think some people have received notice later than now. Still possible today.

Wait listed

Waitlisted is not a rejection. I have to tell myself that. When did you go complete?

[MrR10]

Wait listed

Did you also get an email? When did you go complete?

Thanks! It switched to decision made just after I posted but I'm still waiting on the email. Hopefully it won't be too much longer though. I'm honestly surprised by how late the admissions staff works.

I got in! First school I've heard back from this cycle. Literally freaking out right now!

Good luck to everyone else still waiting!

Applied PT 1/10, complete 1/11.

Priority reserve off PT, and with me being close to medians I doubt it's YP. Why doesn't Duke love me as much as I love them?

I'll start by echoing everyone else's statements of gratitude for all you guys do on here - it's been a great resource!

I have a bit of a situation - submitted all of my apps in October, hoping for a bit of an early advantage (pretty big splitter with some other weird stuff on my app...) - and discovered that three of my schools (CLS, NYU and Duke) require dean's letters to confirm some c&f stuff.
I promptly reached out to my (first) undergrad advisor (I transferred after sophomore year). It took about three weeks (and a couple of reminders...) to get a response - telling me to contact someone else in her office. Another few weeks of bugging her, and on Dec 11th she said she sent the letters.

As of the beginning of this week - none of the schools had gotten a letter. And it's coming from the undergrad school of one of them. I sent another (stern-ish) email to the pre-law advisor, and she responded that she'd "look into it right away."

My question is this - I've been complete at each of these schools for over two months, except for this letter... Should I somehow communicate to them that the delay is on the part of my undergrad (who give a distinct "can't be bothered" vibe every time I interact with them...)? If so, how do I go about wording it? ("I first requested a dean's letter on November 9th, since then I have been in regular contact with the office, and despite this they have yet to get their sh*t togeter"?)

Thanks!

Be careful not to point fingers and put all of the blame on someone else, it may come across the wrong way to the school. The tone of what you write is important. The reality is that you dropped the ball first by not realizing that the dean's letters were required.
You can reach out to the schools and apologize for the delay and explain that there has been an unplanned/unexpected delay and that it should have arrived by now and that you hope to have it resolved as soon as possible.

The good news is that it is still early enough that your application is still in a good position.

Good Luck!

Assuming letter from dean is only required if you have C & F issues?

Yup

I know Duke adcoms released PT decisions on weekend, but do we know if Saturday was more likely than Sunday?

My 10th day would be on Sunday, and you know, being neurotic...

There is no "more likely". If your 10th day is on a sunday, they could just as easily send it on friday, saturday, or sunday. But you're guaranteed by sunday. I dont know of anybody who was on day 11 (maybe one guy but i think he miscounted anyways) so just expect it on sunday and if you get it earlier then its a surprise.
