Rice University Graduate School Admission Results

thought it was a good fit..was not interviewed

To previous posts: I think it's most likely ir. Having interviews seem to be necessary for admission.

An update has been posted to your application status page. You may access your status page here:

Thank you for applying to the Rice University Economics graduate program for the Doctor of Philosophy degree. Our graduate admissions committee has completed its review of applications, and it is with sincere regret we share that we are not able to offer you a position in our program. This year our graduate program received a large number of applications for graduate study, and the applicant pool was extremely competitive. We were not able to accept a great many students who are extremely talented and would otherwise have made significant contributions to the Rice community. Please know that the decision was extremely difficult and is not a judgment of you, your abilities, or your many accomplishments. While we regret that we were not able to offer you a place at Rice, we wholeheartedly wish you success in your educational pursuits and all future endeavors and extend our best wishes for the coming year. Sincerely, Graduate Admissions Committee Rice University Economics Graduate Program

I received an email to interview with Professor Eraslan... not really sure what's the difference vs interviewing with PhD students though

no GRE, GPA 3.98

Interview with 2 grad students.

Interview time set. What are they gonna ask? I would appreciate it very much if anyone could provide some ideas or experiences! Thanks in advance!

Pretty bummed out, but hopefully my other preferred reach school accepts me.
