  1. To those of you who have received letters, are they coming with reviews this year?
  2. Ah! My stomach just dropped. No email here yet, but I expect that my palms will continue to sweat until it arrives... gross.
  3. Do any of you have to make NDSEG-dependent grad program decisions by April 15th this year? Seems like a tight turnaround if you want to discuss your decision with prospective advisors...
  4. Just got off of the phone with my buddy Barbara at Sti-Tec, who said that they plan to make final announcements by the 13th. Apparently they're still reviewing applications.
  5. Has anybody else received a request for updated education information?
  6. Just got an email from STI-Tec informing me that my application "was reviewed by a panel of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for [my] discipline. After review, [my] application was chosen to move forward to the final step in the process: the DoD Panel Review." The final decisions should be made by March 31st, and award letters will go out shortly thereafter. Eep! I feel like this information sets me up for a bigger let-down.... Fingers crossed.
  7. dukelist.duke.edu/search?q=category%3ARentals and offcampushousing.duke.edu/property/search have been reasonably helpful, though I have had better luck with individual rental companies. Apple Realty and Acorn and Oak seem to be popular among Duke grad students. Do you know anybody in your department who may be able to view properties for you before you sign a lease? Sometimes things seem much more charming online than in person...
  8. Ah! I sent my first e-mail from my new "@duke.edu" address, today! So official.
  9. The results survey is often a good place to gauge whether offers have been extended. With respect to Pitt, I know they have made a few decisions at this point - I just declined their offer, so I hope that spot is now available for somebody else! Good luck!
  10. Congrats, future academics! I accepted an offer from Duke last week. (But am dragging my feet about declining offers elsewhere...)
  11. Ahh! Batting 100%, so far! Now for the biggie... heading to my top choice tomorrow. *fingers crossed so hard*
  12. Skype interviews are the mullets of interviews.
  13. Oh man. The first acceptance feels so good. (Especially when it comes at the end of your first interview! Cheezin all day. )
  14. Congratulations!!!!! I can't imagine the excitement you must be feeling
  15. Is anybody going to the UCSB EEMB Grad Student Symposium/recruitment event next weekend? Have you been told what else we should prepare for?
