if you don't mind, how long were you under review / when did you go complete?

Complete on 10/20 (I think?); under review on 10/21, so exactly 10 days to decision day.
Edit: Sent 10/19, and this is for PT.

I have exactly the same dates for everything; maybe I'll get good news today too. Are you going for just the JD or a joint degree?

Just the JD - got the acceptance e-mail! Exciting to get in somewhere; I feel like I can stop holding my breath. Also, there's mold growing in my home office, and nobody can come remove it until Monday, so I actually have been holding my breath while checking for an e-mail.

Congrats!

But also

about the mold. Too much to move temporarily to a mold-free room?

Congrats, Bottomshelf!
Just curious, has anyone with multiple scores gotten a response via PT? If so, would you mind sharing your scores and the decision? (You can PM me if you like).
Thanks.

And I'm in for the JD/LLM program.

Duke isn't my first choice, but it's nice to have an acceptance under my belt so soon.

Congrats. Now say it with me: Durham, fucking accept boo_pragmatism already.
Thanks. ^^ They'll let you in, they're just having to take the full ten days, it seems.

Does anyone know how much diff Duke looks at a JD/MA applicant vs one who applies just for the JD?
I know Duke encourages it but do you need 'better' numbers ? Any advice is helpful...
Btw, interested in the MA in sociology

Did you guys/girls who got accepted off of the priority track write a "Why Duke" essay?
