Where my Duke applicants at?!


Recommended Posts

And!

Let this be encouragement to those who worry about stats and such, as mine are hardly stratospheric:

GPA: 3.24 (major 3.4)

V: 690

Q: 630

W: 5.5

My primary interest is memory (and forgetting and nostalgia) in (post-)socialist/communist/soviet lit.

Congrats! Your area sounds really interesting to me!

Congratulations, Enzian! For those of us who are waiting on Lit--according to the results board, someone received an interview invitation last year on the 28th and then someone else received one on the 31st. So... maybe there is hope?! I need to hold on to these miniscule things in order to keep calm.

Thanks for sharing this, Enzian. I'm applying to law schools simultaneously and law applicants post their info regularly (so regularly, in fact, that they've graphed applications and results based on the two main metrics). It's great to get this sort of insight into who had success (and also great to see you "overcome" any weaknesses those numbers might have suggested). Good luck!

@vordhosbntwin, you are a star!

Seconded! Any chance that they mentioned until when they will be sending out invites? That may be too much to ask... either way, thanks! You've made the remainder of my work day more bearable.

Looks like you're already batting 100 koolherc. Congrats: where'd you have success at already, if you don't mind my asking?

If this was addressed to me -- Duke is the only place I've heard back from. I only applied to two schools, Duke and Princeton

Not to be a total downer but here is the response I received today.

"There is a possibility that we will extend additional invitations. If we extend additional invitations, we will notify the applicants by the end of this week. All the best, Tiwonda"

the rhetoric in play doesn't look too hopeful.

but congrats again to those of you who made the first cut!

fyi on tiwonda - i emailed her and the department chair yesterday. that's the language she used in her email to me, but the department chair used different language; she said that they had not finalized the list and that they would be sending out more. honestly, i'm going to listen to the dept chair over the coordinator.

Wasn't me (thank you Shaggy). Guess that makes me 0/1. Congrats to the lucky winners.

Only two have been posted so far, and they went up within the past hour or so. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed...
