theoretically it could also be how well we dressed

 

[marianastrench]

ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀 Sent 1:30 EST. And my last name starts with L, so I'm following the alphabet trend so far. Interviewed in November.

 

[beckerism]

Accepted! Mid alphabet. 😀

 

[mac90]

Accepted! Mid alphabet. 😀

Have we passed to the beginning of M yet?

 

[apply12]

It's alphabetical. I got mine at 9:57 this morning and my last name starts with an A.

 

[candav]

Accepted 1:40PM!! Amazing news, really unexpected! My last name begins with "L".

Btw, I love that the email says, "We hope you will view this email as good news" -- as if it could be anything but!

Congratulations, Candav! If money is equal, which school are you leaning towards between Duke and Johns Hopkins? Either way, you have two great options.

Again, Congrats!

 

[luckyducky87]

Sometimes I just wish I hadn't checked SDN!! My last name begins with an L and I've got nothing in my inbox. Oh well, gluck to the rest of you!

 

[Megatron2016]

Last name begins with a letter in the early alphabet .... looks like Duke might be handing me a nice little serving of humble pie. They must've known I was rooting for UNC on Saturday...

[c3ev]

bummer. I was really hoping it would work out (I'm at the beginning of the alphabet).

Hopefully there is some options for the waitlist. Congrats to those who have been accepted thus far.

 

[IndianaResident]

You think they will send us a rejection email?

Thanks for the kind words! Money will definitely not be equal; I'm Canadian and Hopkins has the most stringent escrow policy for international students of any school I applied to. I'm keeping all options open for now, though it looks like the second look weekends at these two schools overlap so I may have to decide sooner rather than later.

Best of luck to you! 🙂

 

[davedeluxe]

ACCEPTED!!! 2:50 EST. Last name starts with "P", keeping with the alphabetical trend. So happy... Maybe I'll actually be able to study for my biochem exam now instead of refreshing this thread every 5 seconds. Good luck to all of those still waiting!

 

[CloverHoney]

Got accepted at 1:53 eastern time. Good luck to everyone!

 

[Yui]

OMG!!! ACCEPTED!!!!! WHHHHAAT??? 10:40 Pacific time 😀

 

[badger8512]

Wonder if they personalize rejections as well? Congrats to everyone who got in 🙂

 

[themetalhawk]

Wonder if they personalize rejections as well? Congrats to everyone who got in 🙂

Haha, I've been wondering the same thing. After all, I'd like to know why I didn't get in. Although, honestly, I didn't expect to get in with how those MMIs went.

 

[InterStudent]

congrats for those who got the email already! Any updates on the latest alphabet??

 

[Lexicon0]

Accepted!!!!!
It's at S now!

 

[sibitrum]

So if they're not personalizing the reject/waitlist, why can't they just send those out now 🙁

[DISCOSTEW]

past years' threads show they do

 

[Decis]

As someone with a last name earlier in the alphabet, I'm very sad

Don't worry Zooey...what are your other options?

 

[indonacious]

Looks like I was passed over too...bummer. Although I was expecting it based on how I felt my MMIs went.

 

[badger8512]

Yeah I thought my interviews went pretty well... I'm going to be demanding a very thorough explanation as to why I didn't get accepted haha

 

[InterStudent]

maybe there will be a second wave of letters for acceptance...............my last name seemed to be passed over too 🙁 🙁 🙁 but still hoping.....

 

[Cinclus]

looks like i was passed over too...bummer. Although i was expecting it based on how i felt my mmis went.

+1

My MMIs were painful.

 

[NatrixCaelicola]

Accepted just now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! W here

 

[ZooeyGlass]

.

 

[Aviatrix]

I thought mine went well, too, but I'm before W and no email. Damn.

 

[Velour Fog]

Had high hopes, but alas, seems like it wasn't meant to be. No email 🙁

 

[ModerateMouse]

No email here, and I am an "M".

Very disappointing. I had a good feeling about Duke. 🙁

Come to think of it, has anyone got a rejection/wait-list email yet? My status online is still "Interview Completed."

 

[badger8512]

Very disappointing. I had a good feeling about Duke. 🙁

*sigh* me too; they really should consider being more selective about interviews next year, it's such a tease

 

[ModerateMouse]

I just read that you felt your interviews went well -- I felt the same thing. 😛 Most stations were fun and interesting, and only one station left me feeling that I had missed something. Maybe the evaluators were just told to smile and nod, regardless of how badly we were crashing and burning. That could be why we felt good. 😀

[zed]

ah-oh its past 5 pm...sho shad

 

[LittleMonster]

Last name begins with B....interviewed back in September. No email today 🙁

I had a great feeling about Duke, I loved the MMI...

Here's to hoping.

 

[ModerateMouse]

To lighten the mood in this thread, I offer a new topic. 😛

Has anyone heard of 3eanuts? Apparently Charles Schulz was deeply depressed, and if you take out the last panel of Peanuts comics, they turn into miserable and sad stories.

Here is one:

And another:

 

[Velour Fog]

Velour Fog : Baby :: Duke : Dubya

 

[NatrixCaelicola]

FB group anyone??? 🙂

CONGRATS TO ALL THE ACCEPTED STUDENTS!

[unepoire]

congratulations everyone who was accepted! 😀 can't wait to meet you guys during second look!

feel free to pm me specific questions about duke now that you're the ones with the power to accept/reject schools 😛

 

[NatrixCaelicola]

You should start one! 🙂

At work... 🙁

SDN isn't blocked though, lol

Hope this works! (Btw... if it's not in English, let me know and I'll find out what's messed up)

 

[omnomnom13]

Accepted this afternoon! 😀

I was really worried about one of my MMI facilitators who kept giving me the judge-y questioning eyebrow raise during my entire answer - I now think MMIs are much harder to judge than regular interviews.

 

[c3ev]

So did anybody receive rejection or wait list today?

I'm still secretly hoping there are more acceptances tomorrow, although I know it is beyond wishful thinking.

HAHA...Congrats though! 🙂

 

[suavemx]

was accepted earlier today 12:00pm (last name G)!

 

[LittleMonster]

I wonder if all of the acceptances went out yesterday and they'll start with waitlists/rejections today or if they're sending acceptances out in batches....

I'm (blindly) hoping for the latter, lol.

I think we're out of luck LittleMonster... 🙁
