What are you doing in Durham? Also, it snowed here in Austin on Tuesday so I don't want to hear it lol. Apparantly no place is safe.

I was recently put on the waitlist at Duke. I heard somewhere they have a priority waitlist. Do they ever dip into their normal waitlist? I figure my odds aren't too great as if I was put on their backup waitlist...

thoughts?

Withdrew today, throwing 90k back into the pot. Good luck guys!

I was given a $67,500 scholarship from Duke but Chicago just offered me $75,000. When do you think I should send a letter to Duke? Also, should I make a counter-offer or just tell them about the offer? With $75k at Duke, I would still pick Chicago, so I dont know how to word the letter to let them know I will go there if the offer is around $100k or more.. any help in this regard would be great! (sorry if this is mentioned in a thread somewhere)

Just let them know that value wise Chicago is greater than Duke at $75k, and it would take a further discount to put Duke on top.

Good luck. If it makes you feel any better thats what mine said before I got accepted

[clintonius]

It's also what mine said before I made Priority Reserve.

... so I am assuming that if you have your "under review" status updated it means nothing. Is this correct?

[TheWire]

For those keeping tabs, $72 000

[astro1819]

Well, no news today, but hopefully tomorrow will shape up to be like last Friday (batch of rejections/waitlists and a few acceptances), so that at least the wait is over!!

Oh, I guess thats me. Award recorded. Not enough to sway you from other options I take it?

I really don't know...there was a pretty legitimate NYU event in LA last night. I love both schools and may end up visiting both to get a feel. I wasn't expecting any more from Duke so they've been a complete class act thus far

I guess its only 8 hours from Florida (my extended family keeps threating to visit if I go there). How do you like it? Are you not going to the ASD then?

Comfort Inn= $60

Well I haven't been in the law school yet. I'm touring and sitting in on a class tomorrow. ASW: I'm unsure because I might rather be in Panama City. I put some impressions of Pinnacle in the '13 thread. I drove through campus and I really like the layout and look of the buildings. The law school is probably the least good-looking to me because it has a more modern look to it. The main disappointment was seeing rumors of the dorky undergrads confirmed, but who really cares?

Me.

[Jericwithers]

There are obnoxious undergrads at every university, so I don't think Duke is unique in that regard. My opinion might change though once I go visit lol.

Question for applicants/admitted: Anyone here apply to the dual JD/LLM program? That's what I applied for (although, with close to no hope of getting accepted or even WL).
