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

Got waitlisted. An odd thing is that from my inbox, it says I received the e-mail at 12:01 am this morning, but when I read the message, it says it was received at 2:51pm yesterday afternoon. I definitely didn't get it yesterday afternoon though since I checked my e-mail several times last night.

Anyway, not at all surprised. When I saw how keen Duke is on people explicitly articulating why they want to attend Duke - something I didn't do - I figured it would be a bit of a stretch to get accepted. Also because I'm a splitter and I'm only at their LSAT median.

I'm LSAT > 75, 25 < GPA < 50 and wrote a "Why Duke" (my only why X essay) and still got waitlisted. Just luck of the draw sometimes I guess

Sorry to hear about the waitlist. But on your email point, that's been happening to me a lot. With Cornell, the last Duke weekly, and some other law school related emails. I don't know if it's my email or perhaps it's LSAC

It's been happening to me too. My Texas scholarship offer didn't get to me until 5AM but it was sent at 7. Its weird

Well, there goes my theory

[proteinshake]

hoping y'all get some mail tomorrow (that sounds weird but idc)

[Stephylynette]

If I get good news in the mail tomorrow, my cycle is over. Anxious is an understatement

[proteinshake]

does Duke ever really lowball people? or is LSN a good indicator of what to expect? I doubt anyone knows the answer to this tho.

Anybody newly blank yet today?

yeah, I still have a date and interviewed on the 26th. I'll hold out hope until I see someone confirm a new wave, but I suspect it'll be another week for me :/

[dmc1275]

Anybody here not do a scholarship interview? I've had to cancel mine twice, and now the only times I can realistically do an interview are all in late March with my current work schedule... If I decide not to reschedule, I'm wondering how much this will hurt me in negotiating given that I already have some scholarship leverage from other T-14s?

[Wellthen]

UR2 as of today. Non PT. Anyone here with me?
