maximus82 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I know there was already a topic for Duke form last year but I figured we start a new one for 2010. If last year's acceptances are an indication, then we should hear from them some time next week. Good luck to everyone!
coffeeandtoast Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I'm also waiting to hear from Duke. I'm just expecting the worst already. Good luck to you!
coffeeandtoast Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Nope I think they have been delayed due to the laughable character of my application. They have been laughing for days.
simulacrum Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 just got an invitation for an interview from the chair at duke. good luck

lj123 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 just got an invitation for an interview from the chair at duke. good luck Congrats and good luck! You've got me nervous, though...does anyone know if they do interviews with all of their finalists?
maximus82 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 just got an invitation for an interview from the chair at duke. good luck Is it a phone interview or an in person interview? I'm just jealous I haven't heard anything from them.
coffeeandtoast Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 It seems like last year they didn't interview anyone: they just only sent acceptances or rejections, so I'm confused.
maximus82 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Posted February 11, 2010 I just got a letter from the DGS saying I'm a finalist and they'd like to meet with me. I'm going up there March 17-19 to tour the campus, meet with faculty, interview, etc. This is awesome, I hope other got the same letter too.
simulacrum Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Congrats and good luck! You've got me nervous, though...does anyone know if they do interviews with all of their finalists? thanks. it is actually a phone interview since i am an international applicant. i do have to say i did hope for them flying me over there for interview
coffeeandtoast Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Do you guys mind updating the Results page with your interviews?
maximus82 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Posted February 11, 2010 Do you guys mind updating the Results page with your interviews? Just did. Sorry I didn't do it before.
coffeeandtoast Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Just did. Sorry I didn't do it before. Oh, no worries Thanks anyway. I just left the above message from my BB. I only look at the Results page when I don't have a computer in front of me. Congratulations, by the way!
night wind Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Congratulations to you two! And thank you for sharing the information! If you do not mind, could you tell us a little more about the interview? Did they mention when they will make the final decision? Thank you! thanks. it is actually a phone interview since i am an international applicant. i do have to say i did hope for them flying me over there for interview
maximus82 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Posted February 11, 2010 Congratulations to you two! And thank you for sharing the information! If you do not mind, could you tell us a little more about the interview? Did they mention when they will make the final decision? Thank you! Mine isn't until mid march. The letter said I am a finalist for admission. According the letter they're flying finalists in for an interview and campus visit to get to know us better before making any decisions.
night wind Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 It is a very useful piece of information. I am a little nervous now... Thank you! And good luck with the interview. Mine isn't until mid march. The letter said I am a finalist for admission. According the letter they're flying finalists in for an interview and campus visit to get to know us better before making any decisions.
maximus82 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Posted February 12, 2010 Did anyone else get invited to visit in March?
lj123 Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 What's going on with Duke? Two people report interviews (which seems to be a new development) but no one else? Are not many people on this board applying there this year? Nervous...
newday123 Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 What's going on with Duke? Two people report interviews (which seems to be a new development) but no one else? Are not many people on this board applying there this year? Nervous... I also applied to Duke and have not heard back from them. Try to let it go for now ...
night wind Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I emailed the DGS at Duke and he replied as following. I am sorry to report the bad news. They must be receiving tons of email like this everyday, so I thought I might as well post his reply here if some of you want to know the application status. Duke is my number one dream school. I feel sad. ____ Thanks for checking in; sorry I don’t have better news, but if you did not get an invitation to interview we will not be able to admit you this year. We are a small program, and thus have to turn away even very qualified applicants. The formal announcements should be going out any day now, I apologize for the informal nature of this note. I wish you all the best in your future studies, Jim Moody Duke DGS
coffeeandtoast Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) Just received my Duke rejection. Actually this rejection didn't hurt and none of my future rejections will either, because something has come up and I can't really go to grad school next year, so I guess things happen for a reason Edited February 26, 2010 by coffeeandtoast
