University of British Columbia Economics Graduate School Admission Results

Please decline the offer if you have dominant ones. This is my last hope.

GPA is

Please reject UBC if you have dominant offers!!! I beg you please do it. It's my dream program and there's not so much time.

Ignore status. Should I just expect rejection at this time? For Toronto, I don't see any rejection posts from last year. Do they just not send anything if you are rejected? Brutal

(Not WL) I have not heard anything from UBC. Does anyone know what's going on? Is it an IR at this point?

email with offer, 12.9K TAship

Received notification yesterday around 8p EST. $5k fellowship + $13k TA-ship. Did two different 2-year predocs (Fed and top Econ/finance department). Graduated at top of my class at top-20 LAC. A in real analysis from top-5 math department. 3.97 cgpa and 3.96 math gpa (including grad-level math classes). Received rejections to T15 PhD programs in both economics and business. Heartbroken so looking at master's programs abroad to get a break from US admissions and I've heard the quality (and price) is better there. Hoping to become more competitive for PhD programs with a master's research project (and maybe even a third predoc) under my belt and will reapply in 1-2 years. Deciding between UBC and offers from schools in England. Good luck to everyone and don't give up! Not meeting my PhD admission targets after being an RA at the top institutions in the freakin' world for 4 years (4 years!!!!) was a huge setback, but the only thing we can do is move forward. If an economics PhD is truly your dream/goal, then find a way to make it happen, even if it means doing a master's degree or having to spend an extra year or two improving your background. All my letter writers have been very surprised by the outcomes but are very supportive in helping me achieve my goals.

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.

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.

International student with a Canadian degree. Offered TAship (12.7k)
