To those still waiting for Duke offers, there is a lot of time to go yet so don't worry. I sent my application on December 12th and got an offer on December 27th (very quick!)Tue Feb 05, 2008 03:53 PM Anyway, they said that they've offered some people "early admission", such as me. If someone declines their offer, that frees up another space in the class and hence someone else might get an offer. This rolling basis can apparently continue for some time so keep waiting! |

I received rejection notice by e-mail today.Thu Feb 07, 2008 01:58 AM They sent me the e-mail using BCC, so I assume that some other applicants received the same e-mail. For your information, I submitted my application early November. Congrats to adimtted applicants and good luck to waiting applicants !!! [Edited by Cafetier on 07 Feb 2008] |

I received a mail from Duke saying that "Thank you very much for your fine application to the 2008-2009 LL.M.Thu Feb 07, 2008 02:27 AM program at Duke Law School. At this time, we are unable to let you know whether there will be a place for you in next year's LL.M. program." What does that mean? :) |

Hi, Penny.Thu Feb 07, 2008 02:34 AM The e-mail you received is apparently different from the rejection e-mail I received. They said to me, "I regret that we are not able to offer you admission for the 2008-2009 academic year". I assume your e-mail indicates you are wait-listed. |

Is it a custom that the schools don't tell you straightly that you are on the wait-list? I am wondering why they just inform me that I am wait-listed.

Hi Penny,Thu Feb 07, 2008 07:11 AM I received the same email yesterday. I guess we are just deferred by Duke, not waitlisted. Here's something my friend recommended to read (lawschoolexpert.blogspot.com/2007/12/deferral-to-r… ):- "law schools like to defer and waitlist and "hold" applicants because they are judged by rankings partially according to acceptance rates. By giving out fewer "admit" letters, they can control their acceptance rates. They want you to work a little harder. Law Schools want to be able to judge the likelihood with which you'll actually attend their school before they hand out the precious law school acceptance letter. So, if you're deferred to regular admission at a school you'd really like to attend then fight for it. Demonstrate your continued interest in that school. Keep them in the loop with updates, especially new grades coming out this month. (Just don't annoy anyone in the admissions office by calling too often or saying too much)." Good luck to all "deferred" Duke applicants just like you and myself! [Edited by link updater on 07 Feb 2008] |

Did anyone actually get an admission email, or is it just "deferral" or rejection email?

They sent out a certain number of offers. Thu Feb 07, 2008 02:06 PM The deadline to accept by is February 8th. So after that date, anybody still waiting to hear should get a definite answer... |

To aiga!Fri Feb 29, 2008 05:38 AM When you send an email rejecting the Duke's offer, could you kindly tell them to give the seat to me? Too late? If not, let me know your bank account number!..... No fun?? |

Yes I applied for the scholarship. Did anyone actually get a scholarship from Duke... I will probably reject their offer based on this fact...Fri Feb 29, 2008 12:08 PM |
