Just got my acceptance e-mail today!

3.39/166 from Duke (bio major)

Applied 1/4, received 1/7, complete 1/22. Not too long of a turnaround.

For what it's worth, I talked to career services at the Open House today (which was great) and portability didn't seem like too much of an issue within the southeast and east coast. I know that was a question on here earlier this week and they seemed as sincere as can be considering the source.

I do know they have a new D.C. internship program that should be helpful in regards to portability.

Congrats to all the admits today! Any idea when we can expect to hear about $$?

How long did it take those of you in the last batch of acceptances to hear?

I wish I could have gone to scholars day. If anyone else wants to share more of the event and their impression of the school, I would appreciate it.

silly question, but what were most males wearing? EDIT because i own no slacks or khakis and will need to buy some if that is the norm

Some wore street clothes (sneakers, jeans, and sweat shirt), and some wore full blown suits. I felt perfectly dressed wearing khakis and a button down shirt with no tie. I would suggest you wear something fancier than jeans, but no need to go all out.

Yeah I would definitely go the khakis and button down route. Plus I think having a good pair of khakis on hand will be useful in the future as well.

And for those of you that were here yesterday that were able to get out before the snow-- I am so jealous. Currently I am snowed in my apartment with only my dog for company. Sucks.

I've gotten in to George Mason and Wake Forest both, anybody have any insight on which would be the better law school, I LOVE Wake Forest, but am interested to hear any testament for GMU. I know the cost of living is ridiculous at GMU, but let's just assume money isn't an issue (althought it is lol). Thanks!

in via email yesterday! submitted 12/29, complete around the first week of jan.

I'd say Wake is much more established, but they are more or less equals at this point in time. According to Ken GMU is a school to watch, yet he is only human, so take it with a grain of salt. Since we are assuming money isn't an issue then visit both, and see which you like best. Obviously, they both afford better opportunities in their respective region than the other would.

Congrats to all the new admits! If you have any questions I could [try to] answer them for you.

[moandersen]

Anyone signing up for the March 1 admitted students open house? Im thinking of booking my flight/car/hotel today.

[akili]

in via email yesterday. Super excited!

[jlnoa0915]

I'm also interested in the kind of placement Wake has in the DC area if any of you have any insight.

[akili]

From what I can see, it looks like Wake doesn't grant deferrals at all. Any chance you have heard otherwise? I was planning on spending a year abroad doing volunteer work... but I want to go to Wake!

I have no idea, but I think out of the valor of your case I would hope you'd have a chance. (Ask the admin folks, worse they can say is no we don't grant them)

I was granted a deferal by Wake last year.

[holidayfromreal]

does anyone who's going on friday have any hotel suggestions? I'm trying to decide whether to come thurs night or wake up at like 5:00 am and drive friday morning

[kalvano]

We're staying at the Microtel.

It was $55 a night and #3 on TripAdvisor. Of course, we won't get there until about 10:00 on Wednesday, but oh well.

[sticknbindle]

I found a decent price at the Brookstown Inn so I'm stayin there... looks cool.

You just filled my heart with joy. I really would love Wake (it's my top behind UW) but I was really counting on starting in 2011. Ahh thank you.

But im going to visit on march 1. let me know if the hotel is legit. I figure its more in their 'downtown' area and would give me a better idea of what their city life is like.

[JayCole]

Anyone else go to Committee Review on 1/20? If so, have you gotten a decision since then?
