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!

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

Alfonso97 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 If I haven't heard back from UW-Madison, I'm prob toast, right?😂 💀

It sure is a nerve-wracking process. Didn't even know what being "waitlisted" meant before lurking here. Best of luck, friend! LanaFan 1

Does UW-M have an official waitlist?

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.

PoliSciAm1512 Posted February 7 Posted February 7 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? LanaFan 1

Yep, no invitation for interview (IR) subfield. So I suppose UW-Madison is my first rejection. Portal hasn’t changed since I applied. LanaFan 1
01anonymous Posted February 7 Posted February 7 I emailed UW-M today and they basically said we just have to wait. Alfonso97 and LanaFan 2

i_kant_anymore Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Today was perhaps the most quiet day since everything started ... here's to hoping that Michigan releases tomorrow!!! nnb1, 01anonymous, Omkar Poojari and 1 other 1 3
Omkar Poojari Posted February 7 Posted February 7 To those who got offers from Brown: have you got any communication about a virtual or in-person visit event? Thanks!
nnb1 Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Rejection from Brown. The day starts off tough (3R/4P). Good luck to everyone!
Omkar Poojari Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Anyone claiming a Duke acceptance? All I see on the results page is 2-3 waitlists. Not sure how they are going about this. Seems to be another quiet day.
floatingworld Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Harvard/Stanford/Michigan/Penn soon please 🙏 I chose the wrong schools to apply to lol 01anonymous 1
lala11 Posted February 7 Posted February 7 There are now 4 people reporting being waitlisted for Duke…but still no acceptances. I am so confused and stressed. 😩
