Congrats to y'all! I only got an email that my application status had changed and nothing else from UMass. I think I am rejected. So sad.

Check your Duke portals! Claiming a waitlist.

Did you receive an email or did you just check your portal out of curiosity?

I just checked the portal by chance! I haven't received anything via email.

Sorry to hear about Indiana! Lack of fit prehaps?

For those who got waitlisted at Duke / had their portals changed, were you interviewed? Asking because those of us who werent interviewed can assume thats a reject. 

I was not interviewed, but am waitlisted. I hope that helps!

Hi fellow tributes! Here is the "gradcafe" for stipends: http://www.phdstipends.com/. It may be useful to check it out. It is brutal to check how programs would give stipends below the minimum living wage.

Thank you! I thought I had a really good fit with one particular professor but not too disappointed. Ever grateful to have USC as an option because it is one of my preferences!

Same here. I received an email from chair about the virtual fair not long after the offer letter came in

I am sorry about that. I hope you receive some good news soon.

I received an email from Duke and it was a waitlist notice. 

I had been interviewed (which went terribly, lol, so I’m not surprised), and my subfield is Political Economy.

I was interviewed at Duke and there's nothing on my portal.

Not on this forum, but they did respond in the results section. It could very likely be real, it was informal after all.
