Good luck for everyone waiting on a decision or about to interview!
I'll never understand how everyone on TLS seems to actually enjoy interviews. What's the secret?
Personally, I love talking about myself :wink: But my interview with Dean Hoye was definitely the most fun and relaxed out of all the ones I've done this cycle.

I don't typically enjoy them. This one was just NOT really an interview. More of a conversation.

Yeah it's true that most law school interviews are on the easy side. The only ones I've had that felt like job interviews were with Columbia and Chicago. The rest were really chill.

Does Duke send out any reminder/confirmation e-mail before the financial aid interview date?

Just went UR2 today 3/10. UR1 was 2/1. I wrote a Why Duke in the interim.

Anyone know if this is good or bad news? LSAT Median 25<GPA<50.

It's just news. I believe most have gone UR2 before a decision (although the wait time varies pretty heavily).

I just went UR2 with today's date as well. UR1 on 2/15. Nice to see some movement in any direction.

I'm still UR2 as of 12/18, which I'm sure means...something. Or nothing. Either way, I'd like to move on with my life.

ETA: I think the admissions office is stalking me. Immediately after I posted this my status updated to UR3 as of today's date. Anyone else have a third cycle of review?

It takes a while sometimes! Mine took probably about 4 hours, I've seen people say they didn't get it until the middle of night. It's the worst period of waiting, but it'll be over soon!

Mine took ages (close to 24 hours?) and it was an acceptance, keep the faith!

Jumping in. I went UR2 on 3/10 after submitting in January. Hoping to hear something before seat deposits are due in April/May!
