Is there anyone heard back from Duke?

Expand  

I was interviewed a couple of weeks ago and have not heard back since then.

Anyone claiming the NYU admit?

It looked like fake to me as it's a lone wolf post, and it named the department as "Political Science" instead of "Politics". But my interpretation is more likely to be wishful thinking than logical deduction, haha

 

Also thank you all for Duke responses, fingers crossed!

What's your subfield, if you don't mind me asking? I wonder if they're going by subfield...(Sorry if you've answered this previously).

I just got the email. In at Princeton as well!! I’m in shock really! 

[btermite]

Congratulations!

Does it seem like a mass email? I.e. if we haven't yet received it we aren't in?

[plus]

Congratulations, you two!!!

[polisci123_1]

Congratulations! What subfields are you both in?

Sadly, that is probably the case, considering both of them got the email at the same time. Still, plenty of other decisions pending, don’t lose hope :))

Congrats to the Princeton admits! It's a very strong school with a great department!

No, mine hasn't.

Congrats!!!! Do we think the Princeton admits are just for AP or all subfields?

[plus]

I see no reason to only send e-mails to applicants of a particular subfield.

[guest789]

My portal has not changed. The email stated it's not an official letter - that will come from the graduate school in a week or two, so I imagine the portal will update at that point.

I'm CP, so I'm trying to hold out just a tiny bit of hope that it's just AP!

 

[rash_sulganni]

Has anybody from a sub-field other than AP claimed Princeton yet? Or is there still hope for us?

Considering that it was an informal email, maybe only the AP folks received it? Trying to keep hope alive!

It depends on who is writing the emails. If its the DGS then they likely sent out all the emails at once or near the same time but some departments have the heads of subfields reach out and they might do that at different times based on their own schedule.

Seems like all claims from Princeton so far are AP. Maybe there is still hope for CP

I should clarify that it's an email from the DGS - which is as official as it gets without being an actual letter from the graduate school and they mention that will be coming soon. Not an email from a POI.
