If you are not planning to go to Duke CMB this fall, let them know. This is my last chance, and I'm still hoping to get in. Thank you!

Received an email to check the website.

Don't believe in any PI if they ever say they want you in this program.

Went to interviews. What a giant waste of time and money.

Phone call and email from POI notifying me of the decision. Official offer should come soon.

Got an email from POI this morning about the decision. Just got the official offer through an email notifying me of status change of my application.

6-8 spots, ~24 interviewees, ~308 applicants

Emailed and was told to check portal. Viewed decision once I logged in

We interviewed at the end of February. Coming from undergrad and going straight in ! Super excited!

Has interviews already been conducted for this program? Anyone knows when will they send out notifications?

To the poster below, did you A) have an interview first? or B) reach out to the PIs who contacted you prior to applying? I should have contacted the people I was interested in, but this is my first go-round and didn't know that it might impact my chances. Do you also care to share which PIs you were interested in that contacted you?

Accepted by head of selection committee and PI. Full funding for 5 years.

SO. STOKED. I'm the person who posted in December 2018 about having a Master's degree. The interview was 2/10-2/12 and it basically confirmed that I'd found my dream program. They were super punctual about notifying us too, having said that they'd send out the first round of acceptances before the end of February. From past years, it looks like if you get through to the interview round the chances of receiving an acceptance are very high. Fingers crossed for those still waiting to hear back. Good luck to everyone!
