Graduate School Admission Results

campus day 3.2 and 3.3

email to check website

I was curious if any of the responses here were legitimate so I emailed the school (since people are posting very early compared to most years which have responses like 2 weeks after what people on here posted). I was told: "...Economics hasn’t made any offers yet, so there’s not even an official wait list at this time...." Figured as much

Got a call from Sylvie Lambert !!!! I am sooooo excited !!!

:-) First offer! Quite excited!

1 paper near publishing, 2 grad courses, finished my degree in 3 years, 2.5 years of research experience, decent-to-strong letters of recommendation, was homeless in high school, good/strong personal statement, 1 Summer REU at a top school... IDK why I wasn't admitted. I've heard back from top 10 schools but Penn state rejects me? lmao

Email to check website. Harvard' loss.

Expected, but still hurt.

What do you guys think the two programs? Agricultural economics in UIUC seems to have higher ranking and probably better placements for international students. ECON in MSU is ranked 30, and their econometrics seems really good, but the placements there for international students seem not that good as a top 30 econ dep. What do you guys think? help help help !!!

why would I get rejection from BU? come on it's BU.... I have much better offer.

To the poster below, if you've already accepted somewhere then decline the schools you haven't received rejections from because you're likely still being considered and wasting everyone else's time (applicants and PhD programs alike).

Rejected, informal email. 0a/4r/3itv/12prnrnI'm honestly surprised, two of my letter writers got their Ph.D. from Rice (stats and math). I've done research with these two professors and I know they think favorably of me. I've done about 2.5 years of research, sent two gres... I'm the person who just posted about brown with the lengthy description.

This was the first program I applied to and It was an accident (rough draft of my SOP was submitted, etc.). Oh well. Also, the email was terribly informal. Sent by the Dean of the graduate school (why not the department...?) Here's my summary: 0a/0w/3r (PSU, Yale, brown)/3itv/13p, from a school ranked ~200 in the USA, Math/Econ major stats minor, 3.81 gpa, 2.5 yrs of research (1 yr in an NSF funded program, 2.5 in McNair Scholars, 8wks at prestigious school for summer REU); research in complex numbers, statistics (KDE and QReg), and computational financial math (at summer REU), only 3 years of university (took AP/DC courses in HS), 1 paper near publication, at least 3 decent letters of recommendation (2 McNair advisers (1 being a prof. I had in 3 classes Summer REU), I was homeless in HS which inspires what I want to study, and I have an internship in Act.Sci/Pred.Analyt. at a good company for SUM'18, president of 2 clubs, treasurer of one, Vice Prez of a political org. (raised $5,000 for Hurr. Harvey and sent down goods), and I’m a mentor for at-risk (drugs/homelessness) kids and I mentor/tutor for TRIO. I sent 2 GRE scores to all schools (161v/165q/5w and 158v/166q/5w). I want to research market design/IO/MicroE, namely, types of market exchanges/Auct.Thy/Game.Thy.

Wasn't expected, 0 and 3 now.
