In at Duke! Forum

[saturnine]

Just sent in my LOCI since I am on Priority reserve. Any ideas on my chances of getting accepted from PR and when i might hear back on the final decision?

I heard within three days. I'm in! So excited! Good luck to you, too.

Poprox, you are probably right. My numbers (173/3.6x) seem destined for maybe some money, but something smaller than the 90k we've been seeing.

Hey all, hoping for a little info. My status checker just went File Under Review (2/22), an update from the only other one I saw (File Ready for Review (1/14). Is this an indication of anything? Thanks for the help.

I would say it sounds like they are actually reviewing your file, versus it being ready to be reviewed. Um...

Seriously? Did you just email your LOCI?

Could someone tell me when Duke's ASW is scheduled this year? Thanks.

Yes. Seriously.
I think the reason I was put on priority reserve was because I didn't write the "Why Duke" essay. In my LOCI I explained why I was interested in Duke.
If you are in the same boat as me I'd recommend doing exactly that. If you already wrote "Why Duke," maybe emphasize some additional points. There's another topic in this forum about the Priority Reserve list; the impression I get is that priority reserve is mostly people who just have a minor barrier to being admitted, and if you can remove that barrier you're in.

[saturnine]

Oh wait, sorry, I missed that you already sent yours in.

we have nearly identical numbers. I'm hoping for 45k, but not expecting anything higher, due to low-ish gpa.

You mean 45k is what I should be hoping for? Or is your gpa not the 3.9 listed in your profile? If you are 173, 3.9, I'd imagine youre hoping for a lot more. If youre more in the 3.6 range, random question: were you priority track? i wasn't, don't know if that affects anything.

90k... I'm pleased, but I don't think it's enough to sway me from the Darrow, if I decide to follow the $$. I'll think about it for a few days but probs withdraw by the end of the week.

Thanks. I also did not write a Why Duke and I kinda wrote one in the email to the dean who sent me my PR email. He responded like an hour later with:

Thanks very much for your note. I appreciate knowing about your very strong interest in Duke. We will place this letter in your file so that it is available to us as we continue the review of your application.

Thank you for your patience during this lengthy admissions review process

Hopefully this does the trick...FINGERS CROSSED

I was put on PR in mid-January and sent my LOCI in immediately. Have yet to hear anything from Duke Then again, my numbers are kind of lowish for Duke (see profile for numebrs). Should I send another email to Dean Hoye reiterating my interest? I have already sent Why Duke with my original LOCI, but don't have anything major to update them on.

Why don't you email Duke and ask for more, I am pretty sure they would at least match Mich, although you do seem like your mind is made.

Did most people get a response right away?

Has anyone else with a 12/3 scholarship form received date (I was accepted 11/23) not had a scholarship decision mailed?

Yes. I was received 12/3 and was in the first mailing of scholarships.

I think 30-45k is reasonable for us, considering Duke seems to be more high-GPA friendly when it comes to large $$$ offers (ppl with only a 169 are getting very large offers, as long as their GPA is 3.8+)

Yes, my LSAC gpa is in the 3.6 range unfortunately. My degree gpa is 3.90, but that doesn't mean anything in this game.

Hmm.. it's making me nervous that I haven't heard back yet.
