No GRE. Not a good fit. Congrats to those who got in!

emailed from the department, said they accepted 4% of 500 applicants, mentioned in the email that a big criterion was just fit. :) happy for all who got in! 2a/2r/0w/4p

I am Italian but lived all my life in the US. I am doing my Bachelor degree in Italy and will come back to the US for Master's degree. I speak four languages fluently, created a two-course credit against racism and inequalities in my high school and have worked as a receptionist for a few months in Italy and then selected by the Olympic Committee for the European Youth Olympic Festival to be an official attaché. My email arrived immediately when the selection process started because the file I received is called "Early". I applied for regular admission.

Feel insulted getting rejected by a lowly-ranked program based in the middle of nowhere.

Email to check the portal. Had an interview early Jan where they told me my research goals weren't the best fit for Duke so it was expected. Hang in there everybody, we got this. 0a/0w/1r/10p
