Anyone heard from JHU (expect for 1st round in Dec) since they extend the ddl? Thanks!

Hi! I just got response from Duke. PI told me that admission decisions this year are delayed until some time in Feb by mandate of the University. I'm not sure what that means and the "decisions" here just sound like official decisions sent after the virtual open house, since unofficial offer with open house invitation should be sent by the department first. Maybe just a nice PI wants to give a polite response which does not tell me directly that I was rejected...

I really hope so, but both of my friends who attended the open house were also accepted by UCB (which means Duke must want them as well). I know that one of them got a letter via email before, not sure about another. As mentioned by a post above, I also think the invitation is just a sign of acceptance. However, Duke does have a second-round open house! Maybe there will be more offers coming soon! I plan to ask tomorrow. I would keep you updated if I get any info tomorrow.

Got it! Thank u so much for your info!

Thanks a lot! I wonder whether unofficial offers were all sent currently?

Yes. I'm really confused since I did not see posts about duke and their website said that most offers were sent out beginning from mid-January. I just totally couldn't expect to have 70 now.

A friend of mine attended Duke virtual open house last week. It seems that there are 70 people in the zoom meeting. This number really makes me feel stressed. I'm not sure if they could send more offers since duke already had 70 now.

Hi! I emailed a PI I contacted before this morning. Unfortunately, all offers were sent out this year for organic. PI told me that organic division only has few positions for 2021 Fall due to COVID-19......

Hi guys! Anyone still awaiting for UChicago? Do they send out all acceptances? Applied for Organic (see many posts on inorgo/theoretical and chembio but few for organic division)
