Got Admitted to Duke!

I have been wanting to make this post since I started my app journey.
Finally, today I get a chance to.
I am all excited and happy! My first admit and Duke is a great place to be in.
I have no words right now and it hasnt sunk in as yet.

The thought of going over the app process yet another time and not going anywhere this Fall has been haunting me since long. I am glad all that is put to rest now.
Yippeeee...
Thanks to my fellow bloggers for all the support and encouragement!
(Not inspired by Oscars or anything :D)
Good luck to all those awaiting decisions! :)

Duke telephonic interview

I am updating this blog after real long. I wasnt away from the blogosphere. But there wasnt too much to update about. I applied to six schools and not having heard from anyone of them, I was going through this cycle of apprehensions and disappointments. I have seen many of them who are in the same boat and others who have received invites from their target schools. I am real sure that this one of the toughest phases in the application cycle. Keeping the hope and not letting self-doubt creep in.

The only update so far has been receiving an telephonic interview invite from Duke. I had requested an alumni interview from Duke. And they have scheduled an telephonic interview - kind of videoconference (with Skype and Webcam..not sure if anyone else has such an interview experience. If so pls share your inputs). Its something good. However Duke interviews most of its applicant pool, (the on-campus interview is for all, only the alumni interviews are by invitation) I am not sure where I stand.

All I can do now is prepare well for the interview and do my best!

Folks, wish me luck

I received valuable inputs from Achilles and Mbabound on interview prep. Thanks a ton!
Anyone else in the blogosphere who is interviewing with Duke for R2?
