Geococcyx Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 @Monte Carlo Guess they're really setting us up for the ole' "This year's batch of applicants was the most qualified in department history, and we had to make some very tough decisions" email. I wish we heard the second wave of NC State admissions too, but I guess all the application envelopes in the research triangle got put in the wrong P.O. box or something. Also, just had a professor reference my statement of purpose in an interview, so either I'm a weirder candidate than I thought or that's more of a thing now. data_scrub, Monte Carlo, orchidnora and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year today (Friday 26) NC state sent all the waitlists... but since their first round of acceptances was before the app deadline I'm holding out hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galois Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Seems like a strategic move by Duke to up the yield rate. Making us sweat. And even putting out some word-of-mouth "we finalized things yesterday" ? Haael, blehperson and orchidnora 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavalerius Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) For anyone who has been accepted by Texas A&M, do you know when the visit day will be held, or does anyone know when the visit day has been held in the past? A&M is my top choice, so I want to make sure that I am able to attend the visit day if I am admitted. @ducky500, have you heard back from A&M yet? The website states that admission is rolling, but I am not sure what that means for admissions notifications, especially if one hopes to obtain a fellowship.

My hunch is that I was admitted earlier than some applicants, because of my fellowship nomination (I have to fill out an application for it that is due next week). In that case, maybe the other admits haven't even been decided or notified yet. Cavalerius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also accepted to TAMU w a fellowship nomination and emailed the dept about a visit day. They said they dont have one planned but may see if several people can come at once. Otherwise, visits will be on an individual basis. Cavalerius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavalerius Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) All right, thanks for the info, bigdata and orchidnora, and congrats on your acceptances! I guess I missed out on the fellowship nomination, then. Although I am thrilled to have received other offers, I was very much hoping to get into Texas A&M.

Is it just me that this year's international students competition is crazy, as domestic students results are already out from multiple programs?

I wouldn't take everything you read on thegradcafe as gospel... For instance in the math results, there's someone (or maybe a group of people) who keeps on putting fake acceptances. It's better to just be patient and stop obsessing over the Results page (easier said than done, I know).

Monte Carlo Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Anything from Duke? It seems like someone got an interview today. Just saw it in results section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchidnora Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I literally just got emailed by Duke to check the application portal, and it was an acceptance letter from the department!!! I am beyond ecstatic, after checking my email almost constantly since last week. This is the first correspondence I've had from Duke (there was no request for an interview or anything like that). galois, Haael, Monte Carlo and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galois Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Congrats @orchidnora! That's awesome. It seems they must be doing something differently, I was under the impression they interviewed everyone first. Very cool! Can't pretend I'm not insanely jealous, but very happy for you regardless! I see in the results someone said Interview notified by Postal Service? Strange, if true. Gotta start obsessively checking my mailbox in addition to email? orchidnora 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte Carlo Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I submitted applications to both PhD and MS at Duke. In my application portal, under PhD notifications, the "no notification" became clickable since last week, but nothing pops up after I click it. Is it the same for everybody?

I almost had a heart attack when I got an email from Duke, and I immediately assumed I was rejected (since it only said to check the application portal, plus I also thought they do interviews). But I guess this time they're only interviewing some applicants. Haael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
