To Aooni: I received a complete mail of acceptance! I hope to receive one too! I know that all this waiting time is a killer! Keep fingers crossed! Good luck!!!!!!

P.S: My nickname is 8eiospit. A kind of "greeklish" translation of theiospit that in Greek means uncle-pit.

Hi guys,

I've been checking this board every day since my application, and it was really a killer... But,, I finally received an admission letter by e-mail last Thursday! As Duke was my first choice, I'm so happy about my admission.

Hope to see you all this Summer.

Thank you all!

I sent my application on Nov. 16 and received a receipt mail on Nov.22. I had heard from the alumni that normally they send the admission letter from end of January, so it was quite a surprise to receive an early decision.

Hi Judge&Jury

Congrats on your admission! I mailed my applications roughly around the same time, i think it reached Duke on the 17th..but no good news yet..just got an email saying that they received my application and will notify me should they need any further materials..and that decisions will be sent out mid-Feb :(

where are you from anyway?

Di

Hi folks! I´ve mailed my application to Duke on Dec. 19 and received the receipt confirmation on 21. I was not expecting to receive any answer before mid-February, but I became anxious after reading your posts! Did you use LSAC´s service? I heard that they usually take some time to provide the university with the transcripts… Regards!

Hi PBer,

Nope I didn't use the LSAC service. I think they've only just started emailing decisions for those who applied in mid-Dec. I know how you feel, I was very anxious as well! all the best to you, i'm sure the good news is well on its way.

Best wishes

Hi guys!
I got admitted too and planning to accept the offer.
I visited this school earlier last year and it was tremendous. Beautiful campus and perfect weather.
Also the business school was right next to the law school, so I'm looking forward for some joint curriculums that would be really practical.
By the way, I used the LSAC service.

Hi, all
I also got admitted to Duke and accepted the offer in Dec
as Duke is my priority choice. Congrats to all and those who are waiting, I wish to see you in the campus.
By the way, is anyone granted scholarship from the school?
I am curious about fundings.. I realized that it's quite expensive to study in Duke comparing to other schools. Hmm

Dear All:
I am currently a LLM student at Duke. I want to congratulate those of you that got the acceptance letter. Duke is an amazing place for taking your LLM. The professors are exceptional and the faculty is spectacular.
For those who are still waiting, I wish you good luck.

thanks rafadavi,
i applied for an llm in environmental and business law. i am working for the green party at the german bundestag as a clerk since 4 years and will pass the first state examination in law (JD) with magna cum laude till mid february. IELTS 8.0. no LSAC. i studied at the university of potsdam, duke's partner university - that's all.
i first got an application receipt on monday via email and another email on wednesday in which they told me that i was admitted. today i received the official admission letter via email and a hard copy will follow shortly.
i think my green background was the key for there surely are guys out there with better marks. i also worked very hard on my personal statement - it took me weeks and i think its the best paper i've ever written.
hope i could help you...
