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...

Mine came this past Sunday (my 10th day), just after 10pm. On a holiday weekend.

Someone should copy and paste this to the OP for anyone who thinks Duke will give them an expedited decision due to a weekend 10th day.

When you're non-PT, you want PT. When you're on PT, you want expedited PT.

Anything wrong with the admission spreadsheet? Why was the PT Accepted 102%???

I didn't major in math, but that doesn't sound right.

FYI to anyone planning on visiting -- if you're doing an individual visit on a different weekend than the ASW, Duke won't reimburse for travel. I asked the other day since I can't make it to the ASW.

It will almost certainly be the 10th day, no matter what that day is.

First school decision; applied in early November. Priority waitlist. Yikes!

When did you receive the decision (time wise)? I applied mid-November and I have been dying to hear anything from Duke since. Also sorry about the waitlist, hopefully since you are priority you will still be accepted soon!

At the risk of drawing lymenheimer's ire - do people know if its possible yet to RSVP for admitted students open house? I'm looking around the Admitted Students website and can't find anything to that effect. I think we'll get an email about this when it opens up, but wanted to ask in case its already open somewhere.

Sending good vibes to everyone still waiting to hear!

People shouldnt ask stupid questions if they dont want smartass responses.

Grow up.

You're literally a random person on the internet. I don't know why you have this complex of assuming people give a shit what you think.

You have 1769 posts on a forum you joined six months ago. That's nine posts per day if you never take a vacation.

Find a hobby.

On the Accepted Students website, it says that more info will be posted as the weekend approaches! They may send an email, not sure, but I'm sure if you check back in a month or so it should be there.

Does anyone think sending a non-solicited "Why Duke" has made a significant difference in getting accepted/ scholarships? I applied a little bit late, early January, and am thinking about emailing a "Why Duke" this week. My LSAT is 168 and my GPA is between 25-50, so I could use a little bump. Thanks.

From what I understand, supplemental essays are mostly useful in guarding against yield protection. That being said, it couldn't hurt.

Priority Reserve off of PT. 170 LSAT and 3.65 GPA. Extremely disappointed, as myLSN showed a 90+% chance of getting in. What a punch to the gut

Anyone have any thoughts as to whatmight have happened? Something in my application they didn't like? Just too late in the cycle for someone with those numbers (which are good, but not great for Duke)....any input would be appreciated.

A poorly written one could actually hurt.

I poured my heart and soul into my Why Duke. Such an awesome institution. Love me, Duke!

Once you've been admitted, is there a deadline to apply for financial aid? I'm still waiting on my parents to give me their 2015 financial information...
