I know you didn't ask about Bronte, but have you read Villette? I loved it!

I like #4 (= WE ALL GET IN!!!)

Is it just horrible luck that none of the admits are on Grad Cafe? Leaving us in the dark!!!

So does anyone think that Duke has already sent out acceptances? I'm not sure I understand how it is possible to have decided on waitlisters if admissions decisions have not already been made. The former seems to depend on the latter, no?

Thank you! Alas..."decision not ready." (Is this a euphemism for "no")?

Sorry guys, but how do I view my status page for Duke? Where do I create this new account of which I am apparently ignorant?

Oh Duke...my top choice, and you may as well be on the summit of K2.

Wow, it's really great to see the "wealth" spread among so many. (Any Marxists here? ) My stomach is in knots in anticipation of tomorrow. Oh Duke, please!!!

So, after one rejection (veteran of the Vandy bloodbath) I am aggressively considering other options. Does anyone know anything about the College of Charleston MA program?

I was also a member of the Vandy "bloodbath" yesterday and while your first comment is meant to be encouraging, I still worry; I applied to Vandy, Duke, UNC, Columbia, WUSTL, Penn, and Brown! I really wish I diversified my portfolio a bit.

Oh Vandy, I was really hoping my first response wouldn't be a rejection. Oddly enough, I am not entirely upset that it is now the weekend.

Agreed. Does Duke English conduct interviews, too?

I'm pulling for you--what's that wonderfully cliched saying? Third time's the charm?

You're right! I'm waiting on Duke English, though

Nothing from Duke yet!?!? Of course, I am making assumptions based on precedents from 2012

Regarding this apparent debate of academic altruism vs self preservation, let me throw this out there: karma! Buddhism says that our actions have consequences; let's assume that "good" actions have good consequences.

Thank you, asleepawake, for making insomnia less likely tonight!

So did anyone else notice that some of the spaces (e.g. "Department") have reverted to blanks on the ApplyYourself application? I think my stomach just dropped to my feet.

I reiterate the congratulations for the Buffalo and WUSTL acceptees. As for everyone else: ready for another week of compulsive e-mail checking? It's Sunday night!!! I'm counting on Duke decisions this week

Not counting my GRE Subject Test Scores.

This is what I wrote my WS on ) Great choice.

Bfat, I could lend more to your analysis once I get through the entire film. It's been stop-and-go )

One of my favorite books; the movie, however, is more difficult to sustain. As for me: On the Road by Kerouac--makes me feel horribly stationary, but I'm enjoying it!

Aw, Proflorax--what happened to your therapeutic vacation?

P.S. My apologies, asleepawake--for calling you Rems!
