bee120 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Hi all, I will preface this by saying that playing the waiting game is perhaps more painstaking than the applications themselves. Especially because I am starting to get worried that I have not heard back from any of my top choice schools. I feel like there is a lot of conflicting information on the results search of when applicants are notified along with whether or not the program conducts an interview. If I have not heard from Columbia, UChicago, and Duke (literature) should I be worried? Wishing you all well for this never ending wait.
genderboi Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Not sure about Columbia (I didnt apply). UChicago - yes as they have reached out for interviews. As far as I know Duke (lit) has not yet scheduled interviews. Best of luck, I'm sure something will come through! Its frustrating that we'll likely have to wait until mid-Feb for programs that don't interview.
haltheincandescent Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I applied to all 3 of those schools/programs--nothing from Columbia or Duke yet. (As for Chicago, as @genderboi said, there have been emails sent out for tentative interviews.) As far as I can tell from past results posted on the boards (which could of course not be the same for this year), it'll still be a few weeks before anything from Columbia. Duke Lit. has, in the past, notified about interviews around this or next week. At this point, you should have nothing to worry about--just more waiting. Join us here to commiserate about the waiting process, if you want: Edited January 21, 2016 by haltheincandescent
bee120 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Thank you @genderboi and @haltheincandescent ! It is so difficult to decide which schools merit repeating "no news is good news" to myself. @haltheincandescent see you there!
haltheincandescent Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 And, Duke Lit interview invitations just went out, it seems.
bee120 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 @haltheincandescent guess I can cross that one off the list too! Congrats to those of you who got invitations!
