Have people been getting PTs since Sept. score release?

doesn't seem like there's been a wave post-september scores, no. feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though, hidden september PT people

Does anyone know about Duke's upper scholarships? I know that the Mordecai are full scholarships, but do they give other (named or unnamed) scholarships around a full offer? What are the numbers to be competitive for a Mordecai? What's the timing for a Mordecai offer?

Thanks!

Accepted in late September. Still haven't received scholarship / financial aid app email. Anyone else in the same situation? I'm getting anxious.

[LoganCouture]

Hey I was accepted recently and my acceptance email said: "The Financial Aid Office will send you the scholarship application form via email in November..." so it could be that they are doing a massive wave of emails at that time.

Hope that helps

Can anyone provide guidance on Duke top scholarships? Looking at LSN, I'm very confused. These are from 2013.

180-3.84-9/8

173-3.85-11/17

Any predictive value from this? I'm also confused because UVA, a state school that is ranked higher and has better LST numbers, provides better scholarships based on LSN.

I'm also perplexed by Duke's relatively stingy scholarship offers. I wish they offered mordecais to people with the same stats as dilliard recipients. I guess they spread the wealth across.the board ratheelr than just to high scorers/gpas.

Eta : i read somewhere on tls that duke has highest percentage of students with some sort of grant offer

Do you know the scores/softs of Mordecais versus Dillards?

Offhand i know two dilliards: Jlwx is a urm and he got a dilliard with a 170, 3.37. Xylo (non URM) got it with a 174, 3.9.

I know nothing about mordecai recipients.

I got offered Dilliard too. (179 and 4.0+gpa) Feel free to pm for softs. Don't know anything about Mordecias though.

How soon after you guys submitted did you receive a confirmation email from Duke? I submitted all my apps last Monday and Duke is only school I haven't received a confirmation from.

[jlwx]

Has anyone received the scholarship information yet? I received a large packet, but it did not include the scholarship application form that the PT provisional acceptance email mentioned... Or did I miss it?

They send an email with the form and more info. I got the decision 9/10 and the scholarship email with the form on 9/18

Right... that's no different from what they said previously. I thought that there was more to it than simply applying for financial aid (don't we have to schedule an interview too?). Have you already done it? Was it online?

They're not doing that for months. The most you can do now is send in a form with a checkbox that says you will be applying, but even that's not necessary (yet).

Just got a fee waiver and PT invite.

GPA >75/LSAT=25

I got a confirmation the day after I submitted, but I applied after a PT invite. So if you applied RD, then maybe it takes longer?

[d39524s]

just got a PT invite as well; LSAT@median, GPA just above median.
what are your chances like with a PT invite? does anyone know?
