Duke Law School c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017) Forum

[dddddd90]

Welp, it's day 10 for me and I'm still UR2 (applied PT). Was hoping a decision might add some spice to a looooong weekend spent in the office, but c'est la vie.

Anyway, from glossing over the thread, it looks like 11 days is the longest anyone's had to wait for a decision after his/her PT app going complete. Is that correct? Or have some of y'all had wait times in the 12+ day range?

They might still come out late tonight but 11 is the most I've seen. I'm also on day 10 PT, UR2.

I'm in! First t14. I'm elated. I didn't get a $ offer though, do they give those out later?

Idk about the scholarship. But congrats on the acceptance!

Does it not say anything in the email re: scholarship?

[Aquinas]

Well I'll be damned. Got the acceptance email an hour or two ago. Duke's the first school I heard back from, and it does feel nice.


For those asking about scholarship info, the email basically says that the Financial Aid Office will send out a scholarship/aid application in December, and that all admitted students are invited to have a Skype interview as part of their application for scholarships or fin aid, should they choose to do so. There's also an option to opt out of consideration for scholarships and aid at the time of admission.

Anyhow, best of luck to all who're still waiting on decisions!

Duke presence on TLS seems to be close to nonexistent.

Anyone know how generous Duke is with scholarships? Would love to end up there, but I can't go if I have to pay tuition.

[Aquinas]

Would those accepted mind posing their stats?

175/3.93. White dude from a top-3 liberal arts college. I think my softs were respectably strong, but nothing to knock anybody's socks off.

[Why???]

Would those accepted mind posing their stats?

Above both 75ths not a urm

Just heard back tonight at 7:30 and I got into my first T14. It's nice to know my LORs aren't sabotaging me.

Completed 10/28 and received result 11/7
170/4.01 - White guy

Hi! Applied to Notre Dame binding on September 13. I have a 3.85, and got a 162 on my LSAT. Not as high of a score as I had hoped, but I wanted to get applications in and the person with admissions at ND seemed to think that was the better option as well. Obviously not a good chance at Duke, but wanted to apply. Also applied to:

Notre Dame
University of Michigan - fee waiver
Vanderbilt
Boston University -- fee waiver

Let me know if you have any thoughts or insights.

509+lsn are great for this kind of stuff

Day 7 of PT, changed to UR2 today, I'm a splitter so didn't even expect PT to begin with, would love to end up at Duke!

[Question12345]

Anyone know how long after going UR2 for PT do you typically hear back? sooner than the 10 days or no way to know?

[20170322]

Idk why in the 2014-2015 cycle Duke has soooo many full-rides on LSN, and then 2015-2016 has a steep drop off.

[proteinshake]

submitted the PT app today! now the fun begins

[proteinshake]

went complete today.

[fountainja]

Just went UR 2 today. Anyone know how long after UR 2 it usually takes till a decision for RD applicants? Went complete 10/21 if that helps.
