Graduate School Admission Results

To the poster below whose field is systems and network, did you attend the visit two weeks ago? I also attended the visit, but has not heard anything, really anxious now.

Duke is probably my top choice, so I'm really excited! I received an email today from the professor I had a Skype interview with a few weeks ago notifying me of my acceptance. There were close to 650 applications for a class of 30-35 students. Formal acceptance letter is supposed to come in a few days.

Received response to email inquiry about the status of my application: We have made a majority of the offers we will make for Fall 2018, although we expect there will be a few more. All offers will be made in time to give admitted applicants 15 days for their decision, and to meet the April 15 decision deadline. I wish I could be more specific. BTW, we made offers to fewer than 10% of the applicants; Duke's MS program is not large, and the number of applications continues to rise every year.

Contacted program; was kindly told shortlisted candidates were selected and that I was not among them.

Has contact with potential POI who was mildly interested in my undergrad research. They were apparently behind in making decisions. Wish they had informed me sooner.

Denver Seminary MDiv; Duke ThM. 5% acceptance rate; not surprised by rejection. Sad to leave Duke.

Interview (NT subfield)

No surprise -I rejected an interview request in March since I had already accepted another offer. They shouldn’t have been this late!

Has anybody had results from Duke? Saw two interviews posted mid-Jan, nothing since.

To the comment below asking more about Duke Management PhD - POI = Person of interest, or professor of interest as I like to view it. And I was told by my POI that the program decided to admit on alternating years. Apparently this year (fall 2019 entry) is not one when they'll be accepting students.
