Priority Reserve on the tenth day :/

Expected, but still not a fun way to start the cycle

I feel ya, brother. Don't worry, I'm sure we will get off, and you will have great options with your stats!

[WeeBey]

Isn't priority reserve generally for YP?

I'm sure you guys are above both medians since you got the PT invite.

[Mack.Hambleton]

no it can be for both. PT reserves so far have all been like 170, 3.5 ppl.

Did everybody include a discussion of "your personal and career ambitions" in your PS for Duke like it says in the prompt? It's the only school that I'm applying to that mentions something that specific in the prompt, and the topic doesn't fit in with the rest of my PS since I'm mostly talking about my cultural background and not including a "Why Law" component. On other hand, I could easily fit that topic into part of the Why Duke essay. I don't want to blatantly not follow the prompt, but I also think that it would make for a worse PS if I did.

Anyway, I've searched around and couldn't find anywhere else where this was brought up, which kind of surprised me since I was under the impression that most people did not include concrete discussions of their career goals in their general PS's.

[Mack.Hambleton]

No, don't change it if you have a good PS. I doubt anyone did

You're not alone I feel your pain. Does anyone know if this is like the regular waitlist or can we see movement a little earlier if they just want to wait and see how the cycle is going.

Also I did Why Duke

I added a sentence at the end, made no major changes.

what are people thinking at my shot via priority track? 169, 3.79 GPA? worth it to go PT instead of ED?

[Bubbles1012]

6 pm on day 11 and I still have not received a decision regarding my PT application. Anyone else in Tls land get their decision late?

[xylocarp]

day 11 though? I don't think that's happened to anyone. does it say decision made on your status checker bubbles?

[Bubbles1012]

Nope. Still in review... I went complete on October 24 so I believe that makes this day 11.
