It is IR! I got an email to check the portal. I interviewed middle of January and was told I’d hear back in a few weeks. My best friend applied CP and interviewed with a different prof around the same time. Weirdly he hasn’t heard back. So maybe they do it in waves or sent the waitlist first, which is odd. 

Thanks for all the info- quite useful. Yes, it looks like they are doing it in batches as you suggest. Quite odd and more stressful. Congrats again and good luck!

Congrats! Which Duke subfield did you apply under (since they don’t use the standard subfields)?

If I haven't heard back from UW-Madison, I'm prob toast, right?😂 💀

That's how I feel about my own situation, however, some people here posted that they got a formal rejection from UW-Madison some time ago, (though they did not post it to the main part of GradCafe,) and therefore I'm concluding we're on some sort of unofficial waitlist.

It sure is a nerve-wracking process. Didn't even know what being "waitlisted" meant before lurking here. Best of luck, friend!

Does UW-M have an official waitlist?

Not that I'm aware of, in the sense that there's never been a waitlist result posted for the program on here.

I have not applied to U W-M in this cycle. But I would see it as a positive sign if you have not heard from them yet. As the have sent out formal rejections. It means that you have probably been kept on the waitlist. Maybe writing an email to the DGS after a week could be appropriate.

Are you sure they received rejection from UW-Madison and not UW-Seattle? I’ve not heard any for UW-Madison yet.

Oohh maybe I'm mistaken then! (If so, apologies)

I believe UW-Madison doesn’t admit anyone they don’t interview. I was admitted on 1/22 and then submitted official transcripts and received an update I was accepted in the portal today. May be worth checking for a portal update?

Oh okay. Yep, no invitation for interview (IR) subfield. So I suppose UW-Madison is my first rejection. Portal hasn’t changed since I applied.

Rejection from Brown. The day starts off tough (3R/4P). Good luck to everyone!

There are now 4 people reporting being waitlisted for Duke…but still no acceptances. I am so confused and stressed. 😩
