semicolon2013 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 where did you see a rejection? I didn't get any emails from them either, and don't see a rejection on the results board.
gg80 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Anyone get rejected yet? I haven't seen my official rejection yet...
Gustav Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Just wondering anyone applying to Duke Lit this round heard anything yet?
dr_walrus Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Just wondering anyone applying to Duke Lit this round heard anything yet? I've been wondering the same thing. It looks like they usually start notifying for interviews around this time but nothing yet. :/
christakins Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Nothing positive or negative on my end thus far. I'm taking this as a bad sign seeing as February is, well, tomorrow. I assume interview invites went out weeks ago? Haven't seen anything on the boards.
WalterBenj Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Hey guys, like you, I've been wondering the same thing for weeks now. I guess that they already sent invites and that simply the people who received them are not on GC to tell us. It would be very good to know so that we can move on and get out of this limbo. Has anybody heard anything?
Gustav Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) No, nothing... But if history is any indication there must be at least one or two interviews posted by now if they've sent the invites. Edited February 3, 2015 by Gustav
WalterBenj Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) I hope you are right Gustav! And history does seem to suggest that. Although if you look at 2010 only one person posted it, and after 15 days from the invite...(I know I'm probably being overly analytic) What makes me wonder is that many other departments in the Humanities (included Romance studies and English) already sent out acceptances, and they don't even have interviews.. However, like you say, not seeing any posts could (and should) still be a good sign for us. Edited February 3, 2015 by WalterBenj

However, like you say, not seeing any posts could (and should) still be a good sign for us. You are right. My wishful thinking led me to ignore the anomalies (sending invites on Feb. is already anomalous)... But, still, finger crossed for all of us still waiting for Dr. Jameson and his friends.
Zebby Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Dear all, I also applied to Lit at Duke and have been nervously watching the days tick by. No news from Duke on my end either...
WalterBenj Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Hey Zebby, welcome in the club of anxiety for Duke! I really don't know what to think at this point. There's 5 of us here already but no news yet and it is February 4th...I seriously have no clue.
Idiot Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Make that 6... I've stopped waiting though, but then I had no real reason to go to Duke in the first place.
khyleth Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 And my axe! Count me as number seven. No news. margeryhemp 1
Gustav Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Still nothing? Guys? What took them so long this year....
Zebby Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Nothing. Maybe all the interviewees got together and collectively decided to leave the rest of us in the dark. A sophisticated form of grad forum trolling... Or maybe they are just on a different timeline this year? Anyone have a connection in the department who can find out?
WalterBenj Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Hey guys, I have no idea, but it's a slow wait each day. One theory I have is that since they changed the DGS this year they also changed the timeline and maybe the whole process? But it's still late though... Or maybe all the interviewees are not here! In the meanwhile congrats to Gustav on Berkeley and Cornell!! It's awesome...I just read it! Gustav 1
Ramus Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Or maybe all the interviewees are not here! Certainly a possibility that many are not on GC. I'd guess that at most only about half of each cohort reports acceptances on the results board, and even fewer people are active on the forums. WalterBenj 1
UsualSuspect Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Yeah, im also freaking out about it, and assumed I just didnt get an interview. We will see. Good luck to all.
WalterBenj Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Hey Guys, Have you heard anything from Duke lit? Should we all imply a rejection? It seems so weird that they haven't contacted anyone. I would like to find some piece of mind about it.... Edited February 10, 2015 by WalterBenj

It seems so weird that they haven't contacted anyone. I would like to find some piece of mind about it.... Still silent on my end. I checked my app through Duke's website and it says "No Notifications." I'm assuming rejection for piece of mind. Onward! Edited February 10, 2015 by christakins
Appppplication Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I wouldn't give up complete hope. On the results board in the past they have sent out interviews as late as Feb 14. Most years they were sent earlier, but hope is still there. And they typically don't notify acceptances until March at the earliest.
WalterBenj Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Still silent on my end. I checked my app through Duke's website and it till says "No Notifications." I'm assuming rejection for piece of mind. Onward! True. That's what I'm doing. It just makes me wonder why there is no sign whatsoever, while we have info about almost every other major english or complit department. But I guess it's just a random thing.

Most years they were sent earlier, but hope is still there. And they typically don't notify acceptances until March at the earliest. That's also true!! This is exactly my logic....but then sometimes I just think that this year acceptances are not on GC. I guess that we only need to wait and see.
