Congrats! Did you apply for the PhD? I'm applying for bridge and MA programs, so I think the timeline is a bit different; the application for the bridge at UVA didn't close until March 1 so I feel like they wouldn't have sent out their admissions that early! 

Thank you! Yes I only applied for PhDs. I think the Rutger's MA deadline was March 1st too, so I imagine it'll be at least another week or two before results start coming out.

Any word for anyone from Rutgers or UVA?

I received admission to UVA in late January, and Rutger's towards the end of February after a Skype interview. The UVA visit days were in the middle of February (I couldn't make the group visit but I think there were 4 other candidates for classics, and at least one for ancient history. I'm unsure how many they intend to admit). I met someone else with admission from Rutger's at Boston and I gather they've made all their offers for the moment, but I'm not sure what the wait list is like. I'll be freeing up at least one of those two places soon, though!

Just out of curiosity, has anyone had any word from UT Austin or Duke?

Austin's visit days were towards the end of February and there were 9 candidates. I received an offer shortly after the visit and I heard they were planning to make offers to about half the prospectives, so I imagine if you haven't heard from them yet you'd be a few places down the wait list, I'm afraid. As for Duke, same as chrissy2020 – they emailed at the start of February to set up a surprisingly late Skype interview around mid-March.
