Graduate School Admission Results

Full funding for 5 years. Very excited.

Email came shortly after 5

Has anyone on Duke's waitlist tried contacting them? I emailed the PhD assistant two weeks ago saying I'm really interested in going but never heard back. I saw a post days ago that got a response from Duke. Does anyone know whom to email? Really desperate here.

TPB: Duke's offer only mentions Apr 15, no specific time. Hope that helps!

TPB: Thanks for your nice advice and your early decision. It will definitely help us. I sent an email to Dept. to ask about my ranking on wl couple of weeks ago but they replied that they could not provide any information. So I guess if Duke's deadline is morning April 15 then I could probably wait. But if the deadline is in the afternoon then I have to make my mind. So Duke does not ask you guys to respond by a specific time, just April 15?

TPB: I recently declined this offer. I think it would be better to wait, but also ask the department the likelihood to be admitted, especially a few days before the deadline. Think that: 1) Depts. have a strong interest in accepting now people that are going to accept, then signalling this has a non-negative effect on the decision about your status; 2) Some depts. could also be clear with you, especially right before the deadline, that the chances are very high (i.e., you are on the top of the waitlist) or very low (i.e., there are 1-2 spots not yet accepted and you are 20th in the waitlist). In your interest, contact the faculty. Good luck!

To those admitted to Duke: What is the deadline on April 15 to respond to Duke's offer? I am waitlisted at Duke and I got another offer that I have to respond before 1 pm on April 15. Just curious whether Duke could make any move on the waitlist before that time or not. Thanks for your help!

TPB: Admitted student here. The "visit" day is still March 23rd, though it will be virtual through Zoom, from 9-5. Unsure if waitlisted students were invited, though admittedly 3/8 of the day will be spent doing one-on-one sessions with individual faculty meetings. We received a survey form last week to rank the faculty we'd like to speak with

The visit day was scheduled for March 23. I was waitlisted and received an invitation, don't know if it was rescheduled

TPB: Thanks for sharing! Btw, how did you get the information? Also, are you on the waiting list and invited to the open house?

TPB: I heard that Duke invited only the top 10 of the waitlist (and not the rest of the waitlist) to the open house

To those admitted/ waitlisted to Duke Ph.D. in Economics, when is the open day? Also, are there any waitlisted students invited to the open day? I am on the waiting list and I am not invited to the open day. Don't know what to do. Anyone in the same boat? Thank you so much!

Was anyone who got results today applying for the MS program and if so could you tell me when you applied? Thanks!
