Haven't heard anything either. . .in spite of obsessive refreshing of my Duke Apply Yourself page and email. Do you think they just haven't gotten to us in the alphabet yet? My name starts with T. . . I expect not to be admitted, but this lingering sparks tiny bits of hope that are hard to suppress Wow, I'm going to be SO much more productive when this process is over. I spend most of my work day here or staring at my email. Good thing I have a supportive boss. . .

I've applied to the Lit program. But yeah, not hearing from the department at all leaves open that lingering possibility of being wait-listed. And I'm with you. I'd be able to do a whole lot more if I didn't spend so much time just anticipating the mail. Sigh.

I think the word congratulations should be banned in all school correspondences and websites where one might find out about status UNLESS in referrence to admission. I keep neurotically refreshing my applyyourself page and the first word is "Congratulations!" in the link to check application status. . .but it is in reference to me having successfully submitted my application. Ye gads!

I'm with you.

I've been obsessively checking my applications and that throws me off every. single. time.
