Do any of you 2/17 folks have phenomenal numbers? I read somewhere on Duke's website that they dont do waves, so the fact that so many numbers are changing today makes me fearful of a reject.

I'm with you thinking that its a bunch of rejects or (slightly more hopefully??) waitlists...

I want to say they do rejects via email but can someone confirm?

Or maybe were that group of people who they want to sit on for a few more months so they said "F*ck it change their dates again lmao".

I like to speculate.

For me LSAT below median but GPA above 75%. So a reverse splitter

Technically a 2/16 UR3 for me, at 75th LSAT, medianish GPA.

LSAT>75th, GPA<<25th, above average softs, visited campus, wrote a Why Duke that was pretty good. I thought I was a strong applicant but we'll see.

Anybody know when we can expect some movement from PR list? Also, anyone know how splitter-friendly Duke's been this cycle? My GPA<25, but LSAT>75.

ChocoFreeze · Post by **ChocoFreeze** » Wed Feb 17, 2016 2:17 pm

Yeah I just got UR2 today. LSAT < 25, GPA >75. I wrote a Why Duke... you guys have me nervous for a ding

Any expectations for a timeline for a decision?

WhiteHouse · Post by **WhiteHouse** » Wed Feb 17, 2016 2:18 pm

so just to be clear....no one has actually been dinged today, right?

Not that I saw, people are just making assumptions based off of the characteristics of those who moved forward in the review process.

"We find its always better to ding people on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there's less chance of an incident if you do it at the end of the week."

Do you mind sharing when you went UR1?

Thanks. Looks like applying late hurt me a bit. I see some non-URMs with worse or comparable GPAs and LSATs who got accepted. Sucks because I had my materials pretty much ready to go by November but got stuck waiting for an LOR.

Waitlist. Knew it

Don't think I will remain on it long - fortunately, I have other choices that I love.

Good luck to all the rest!
