Graduate School Admission Results

TPB: Just jumping into the convo, but you sound like an asshole. Why not do the introspection, figure out what you'll pick if you don't get Duke, and decline the dominated offers? It's not like you need to wait to figure this out.

Let this be the end of the convo here, but I think you may not understand what hypocritical means. I'm holding offers from schools that I would go to (or at least have to decide between going to) were I not to get into my most preferred school. I'm asking people who know they're not going to Duke to decline. I don't know that I'm not planning to go to the schools I'm currently holding. I would think an aspiring economist would easily be able to understand how this stuff works.

(Not WL) TPB: Isn't it a bit hypocritical to ask others to decline offers if you are holding more than one offer? Practice what you preach!

TBP: just curious, why you are holding offers from several Universities while waiting for waitlist decision from Duke? You would probably get off the waitlist if you will decline one or more of the offers you have, letting someone take this spot, and possibly free the spot in Duke for you.

Got waitlisted. Please decline if you don't plan to attend

Please, anyone holding onto Duke please decline if you're not going. I'm holding offers from Cornell, Columbia, and a few others I'd like to drop if I got off waitlist at Duke!

Just a common email telling me to check the portal. It takes me three months to wait for such an email??!!

Email to check portal service.

Email to check website. Was interviewed earlier.

Emailed to check on a status update. Honestly, a bit confused by this one but I guess they could tell I wasn't going to attend and there weren't great prof matches.

Having several interviews, almost being accepted closely, but being rejected.

Received tons of rejections today and yesterday, as they promised that the decisions will be released "by the end of March" loool...

Was interviewed back in February.

Lol, what took them this long? Based on how their admissions process works, I knew I wasn't being admitted since January when I heard nothing after my first-round interview.

Interview on 29th. Decision on 30th.

Received an email to check status. And voila, rejection!
