University of British Columbia Economics Graduate School Admission Results

We regret to inform you that your application for this graduate program was not successful. Each year, many good applicants are declined admission to the University of British Columbia. Common reasons for declining applicants include unavailability of appropriate faculty advisors and/or funding for the applicant, an applicant's less competitive academic record, and simply the limited number of spots available in graduate programs. Due to the significant number of applications we receive, we are unable to provide applicants with specific explanations for being declined. We wish you well in your future endeavors. Thank you for your interest in pursuing graduate studies at the University of British Columbia.

Received an email in early March saying that I'm in the final stage and that applicants in this stage typically get admitted, yet rejected me on 3/29. Really got my hopes up for this one, disappointed.

Not WL, Still not hear from this school. Is it an IR?

Just declined this wonderful offer. Good luck for those in the waitlist.

(IW): TBP - Thanks for letting me know. Good luck to you too!

TPB: It's Prof. Henry Siu. Good Luck!

Implicitly waitlisted (or IR): Can anyone tell me who is sending out the communications (acceptance etc) on behalf of UBC grad admissions committee this year? I need to reach out to them to ask for a status update as I have a deadline from another place coming up soon. Thanks!

Will be declining this offer, good luck those on the waitlist, very great program and would love to attend, but got a PhD offer last minute.

Had interview in February, did not hear from them since then. Emailed to know about decisions and got a response saying they already had done the offers. Very bad way of treating students.

To the note below, my portal is till "In process" also. I think it is an IR

Is there anyone else like me who hasn't heard back anything? My status on the portal shows "in progress". Wondering if I should email and ask them

Please decline soon if you have better offers, this is my only hope, thanks!

Not a WL: To those who are admitted to British Columbia Masters, Is this the Master or the PhD?

Cautiously optimistic

Quite surprised tbh. I know many folks who have been accepted in previous years with way lower GRE scores. Ah well, I guess it's a bad year :/ Good luck to everyone else.
