Hey guys, I recently discovered this forum so if my questions were already answered in the past, I am sorry.
I was wandering what are the chances for those in the wait list? People are really accepted after suffering in this list or it's a long shot? I am in the wait list of Duke, my dream department, and I don't know if I should keep my hopes up.
Related to that question, what do you guys think about trying again next year? I was approved by two programs that are ok, but for some reason I am not very excited about them. I was thinking in sending pretty much the same material but really increase my GRE scores (currently 158V and 159Q). I guess the GRE is the main reason why I wasn't accepted by Duke, and probably the reason why I will not be accepted by Yale, MIT and Northwestern (about those three I haven't received any notice yet).
Thanks and sorry for the long text, I am desperate by now.
