You apply for those separately in December, they don't give them out with admissions decisions now.

Also, I got the mailed acceptance package today after the e-mail a few weeks ago, definitely reminded me of how much I love Duke!
On the status checker, when did it say your acceptance package was mailed?
It said it was mailed Nov. 9th, but I just received it today. I got my e-mail on Nov. 7th, though.
I got my email Nov 9th and I checked today and it said it would be mailed Nov 17th. I guess I'll get it next week.

The next step is "File Under Review"

Duke is super fast, at least fastest in all schools I apply for.

I submitted PT and was told my file was complete on 10/19/11. On 10/27/11 they told me that they required something else to make a determination (not grade-related). I expect they should have the information they are waiting for any day now. Once they receive the additional information, do I start a whole new 10 day period to find out or do they now only have a few days to get the decision to me after they receive the required info?

Based on my experience, should be just a day or 2 after they get it.

Just one day behind you - went complete 11/10. Was surprised to see that my status date changed yesterday from 11/11 to 11/16 (both "file under review").

Day 9 here and I'm definitely starting to get antsy. I'm in the middle of writing a paper and I swear I can't stop refreshing the status checker -- productivity gone.

Does that status checker typically go under review twice (as in date changes twice)? I'm RD and have been under review since 11/7...

Anybody else look at your Why Duke? Essay AFTER submitting your application. Can't seem to stop myself despite knowing I stand to gain nothing by nitpicking something I can't change.

I had to force myself not to look at anything after submitting it for fear of being unbelievably upset.

Hoping I can will an 80's Delorean into my possession.

If that works out, please let me borrow? I have some life problems that I need to work out :)
