University of Southern California

Economics, PhD (F22)

Accepted via E-mail on 11 Apr 2022

Note

After several rejections I have been accepted. I was not interviewed nor received a waitlist email. I was contacted last weekend by professor asking me if I will attend in case they made me an offer and received the offer on monday. I'll attend. The process was stressful (and long), so to whoever reads this in following years, hang in there and believe in yourself :). I don't have a perfect background, but I believe research experience counts a lot, good letters of recommendations and match with faculty are super important. There is a lot of randomness and luck here, is it impossible to guarantee that your profile will be read by someone who appreciate your interests (sad but true - econ is to broad). Good luck to everyone who still waiting and good luck to future applicants ^^.
