Duke Writing Sample

[lady_coffee]

The Duke Graduate School deadline is 5 p.m. Eastern time tomorrow, but I just checked the writing sample link and -- am I correct in interpreting that as being due by 12 a.m. Wednesday?

It looks like I missed the deadline. Best of luck to those of you who applied!

What time zone are you in? Did you actually try uploading the file? I'm in the PST, and the link still itself still works. Fortuitously, I'd already submitted the application/ws, and I'm not sure if it matters that I'd already made an ID and filled out the form.

Even if the system won't let you upload anything now, I would politely follow up via email with the department secretary. Given that the deadline on the online application itself is (if I remember right, 5:00 pm EST), it seems reasonable to have assumed the writing sample deadline was the same. They may let you email it or post it a day late. (I have already had a very friendly exchange with them re. some delayed material from my study abroad institution, and they were extremely helpful).
