Economics PhD Graduate School Admission Results

e-mail from John Rust, director of admissions

That was the nicest unpersonalized email I have ever received. Sad.

my other GRE score was 158/166/5, 3 years in uni, 2 majors math/econ 3/4 years of research in complex numbers, 1.5 in statistics, 10 weeks at an REU in a top school for financial mathematics. Good LOR. Most likely not admitted due to few high-level econ courses. 1a(MS program)/9r/3intv/0w/3p

I got a mail saying I unfortunately haven't made it to the cohort but am on a short wait list. What does the short wait list mean? Anyone else in the same situation? (I received the first wait list mail two weeks ago)

To the poster below, it is just the “official offer” mentioned in your original waitlist email.

Has anyone been rejected from the Ph.D. program?

20k

The letter says it is "short". Email to check website.

To the Fordham poster below, does our letter say funding for 3 academic years?

Received an email to check their website for the decision

When is it appropriate to call and ask about your admissions status? March 15th?

$27,000 first year, 20-24,000 after

Email to check website. Does anybody know the length of the waiting list? And hopefully, please decline the offer early if you have better choices!

Full funding first year, then four years of funding conditional on TA'ing

To the poster below, did you just receive the notification? or at what time?
