If this is a fail by my post office, it's a small wonder the postal service is going under.

I'm up in NY, and it was sent to my current/ not my permanent address

So checking out all the earlier angst, it looks like Duke tends to take the full 10 days for PT apps?

I submitted on 9/30 but have heart palpitations whenever I get an e-mail notification.

I'm interested too. I submitted 9/27, went complete 9/28, and under review 9/29. I feel like I've been under review so long!

Oh come on. It's not like you actually WANT to go there. You just want to get in so you know you don't have to dip below the T14

(Ok I might have been talking about myself.)

[Blessedassurance]

Checking in. Get it?

Went complete on the 26th, if it matters.

FINALLY got my packet yesterday! Finished my interviews with Northwester and Vandy earlier today

[nids333]

Got accepted today! Such a nice feeling to get accepted somewhere, thus far!

[jc010]

I just got in!!!!! On day 9! Status checker didn't change until after the email, fyi

[Yeshia90]

I feel really bad for the one guy who didn't get in, and doesn't want to be the first to admit it.

It's okay, dude. We're all here for you.

Did anybody just include "why Duke" info in the PS? I felt like it made the most sense to just include information about why Duke is a good fit after I talked about why I wanted to go to law school, etc. at the end of the PS.

I haven't submitted my PT application yet but was wondering if any of those who have been admitted so far took the same approach?

I've done that for other schools with success (well at the one I've heard from thus far but it was rather immediate success). I think its fine as long as it flows. I didn't include anything in my Duke app though because I don't think they need to YP with PT.

Good point. Thanks!

Got in!

Anyone find it weird that the admitted student website has a common username/password?

From last year's threads. I think that's pretty common. Since the status checkers are not terribly informative, it seems a lot of people find out when they can log into the admitted students site using their name/password.

[baconpuffs]

Went PT complete this morning... these 10 days will be nerve racking.

[ignatiusr]

I didn't write a Why Duke; anyone believe I'm at risk of a YP?

[MumofCad]

My stats are 3.98/174, with unremarkable softs and some transcript anomalies. I didn't write a Why Duke; anyone believe I'm at risk of a YP?

I don't think Duke YPs. I have almost your exact stats, except a little higher GPA and I got in with no Duke and no optionals.

[icedflames]

For people who received acceptance packages in the mail, did you officially accept the acceptance from them?

I was emailed about two weeks ago, and I still havent received anything.

[MumofCad]

I didn't do anything. It just came in the mail after the email.

[icedflames]

I guess it's lost in the mail!
Oh well.
My permanent and current address are the same too.
