SAME—but reading here and looking on the results board, I’m hearing people talk about Duke literature and Duke English? Is there a difference? Based on the board, it looked like Lit had interviews and English went straight to decision, but that might just be the way they’re posted. V curious to know. On my Duke portal it says English PhD.

Congrats to the UW Madison acceptances!

Thanks! I think there will be—there isn’t a specific visit weekend, they just want to get them done by February. I am waiting to hear back from many other schools, so I’ll let you know what I decide to do!

I got an email from the DGS last Thursday. I checked the system out of curiosity and nothing had been updated on the online portal. I will say my offer came with an additional source of funding on top of the base, so it’s possible others are still to come, if that’s a common occurance. For reference, I study cultural productions of modern and contemporary women across the African diaspora, with a Postcolonial and intersectional lens.

Congrats!!!

Thanks!! It’s very early days still so the odds are definitely in our favor! Wishing you much success! (Though, it is nice to have three days where we don’t have to constantly refresh our email lol)

To be fair, I won’t say how many schools I applied to, but it’s an embarrassing high number to play the odds.?

Thank you!!

Thanks!!

Hello everyone! Long time lurker here (who has avoided making an account because I was worried about spending too much time). But it’s too late for that, so might as well interact, right? It’s been super helpful to look at last year’s timelines, so thanks to everyone for posting results present and past! Congrats on all the acceptances so far, and much success to those waiting! Keep the good news coming! Thus far I’ve received and posted a Notre Dame and Emory interview invitation and a Tennessee acceptance. Would be curious to know if anyone knows which other schools interview before I scour the past threads.
