I was surprised too. Good luck on your application. I hope you hear back soon!

I sent Duke an email basically asking for a PT invite (expressing how interested I am in Duke) and they outright rejected it, saying it takes a lot of time to review PTs and they don't send out many invites. I don't understand why I didn't qualify for a PT invite and what that says about my application strength. I'm from the Carolinas, I'm above both 75ths, and Duke is basically my top choice. I realize I'm basically outing myself to the Duke Adcomm right now, but I wanted to get feedback from the TLS braintrust on what this would indicate.

I don't think they give them out to anyone who solicits. Would probably mess up their schedule

It doesn't say anything about the strength of your app, especially since you are above both 75ths. It seems like they are getting kind of behind since they haven't been sending out decisions until after 9 PM on 10th day for PT. It's understandable that they wouldn't want to keep giving them out to everyone.

I guess I'm just stumped why I wasn't invited since they did send out some after the Sept LSAT score came out.

I understand. I didn't get some waivers that I assumed I would, too, and other people got them with lower/the same numbers. It's all kinda weird and I don't really understand why some people get them and some people don't. I actually got my PT invite before the Sept LSAT with a much lower LSAT so who knows if I would have received it afterwards. I guess we can't read too much into it all!

[BillsFan9907]

Are you guys hold overs from last cycle? If your CRS was on with an lsat score last year (and transcript), then you will fall victim to a glitch in the system whereby you neither receive fee waivers from the T14 that gave you fee waivers last year or a priority track invite from Duke. There's some variance. I got a duke fee waiver tho my fee waivers for the rest of the t14 were hidden. I did not get a PT invite though despite the fact that my lsat score last year was far lower.

Correct, I had an Oct 2013 LSAT score that would not put me in PT contention. I did, however, receive a fee waiver from Duke last year and this year.

They gave me a PT invite when I solicited, but I'm a badass, so there's that. That said bro, I don't think it says anything about the strength of your application. Just suck it up and apply like I did with Columbia. They have a fast turnaround even without the PT.

[GreenTee]

Ok so I have PT for this cycle, but if I decide to apply next cycle instead, will I not be able to successfully solicit for PT?

[BillsFan9907]

Not this year. Will see what happens and update.

You'll probably get it again

[bruingrad1990]

Did anyone else applying Duke PT track notice a date chance while their file was under review? Does that mean anything?

[supersplittysplitter]

applied PT and my status says "decision made; watch for email"

is it likely the email will come before the end of the day?

[LSATneurotic]

applied PT and my status says "decision made; watch for email"

Don't think Why X Essays matter, dude.

[supersplittysplitter]

priority reserve, but i already wrote a why duke. Any advice on what to do from here? how soon should I send them a LOCI or an updated resume, new LOR, etc;

[alphagirljhan]

anyone who applied RD without priority track?
How long does it take to go 'under review' from 'complete'?
The waiting game is so.... painful.

I had PT from last year but applied this year. Emailed them at the start and they said that if I didn't get a PT invite automatically, I could email them and they would take care of it. Ended up getting the PT automatically. (Make sure you change your planned application year in CRS though)
