Yay!

I wish law school were like undergrad and sent all decisions on the same day, and there was no way to check your status before that.

I've got a gif you can borrow to express yourself.

Much appreciated!

How many days were you UR for?? How many of said days were weekends?

Were you offered a PT invite and did you click the link and register and whatnot? Or were you just applying and they told you it was being considered through PT?

Well that is very interesting. I don't have any insight for you, but I would say that (based on other comments in other threads) Duke PT is one of the best application perks available. It's a non-binding Early Action decision with a fee-waiver and 10-day turn around. Although, some other areas of Duke's admissions are a bit different than other schools as well (tuition assistance awards, tuition deposit instead of seat deposit, etc.). But I don't think you can go wrong, even with them bumping you over if you had no intention of applying PT.

Coming out of the lurker shadows. Been UR2 since 9/10, and today is day 9. Starting to get pretty nervous.

I'm assuming that by applying to Duke Law you are smart enough (or have been following this thread enough) to know that the 10-day deadline is for PT applicants. Appreciating your intelligence and assuming that you are indeed a PT applicant, I would try to not stress. It could come any time and butt right up to the turn of day 11, so expect it then and anything earlier will be a treat. My thought process was that a 10-day decision gave room for optimism because it means there was some deliberation on your behalf to be accepted. If not, they likely would have waitlisted/held over your application sooner. This also could mean that you are borderline, but I like to think on the happier side. It's worked for both myself and Jimmy, so technically, the PT 10 day decision, as reported in this thread, is at 100% acceptance (unless I missed someone, in which case I apologize).

One person has been put on priority reserve.

Die

Yours didn't take a full 10 days, did it?
