Graduate School Admission Results

E-mail from chair of graduate program

To comment on few posters below, I come from top notch economics department in India. People from here make it to princeton, NYU, Columbia and likes every every year and these same gusy got rejections from Purdue and similar ranked universities which were supposed to be there safe options. I made it to Boston (not great, but at least top 20 program) which is better than Purdue by all means. This just indicates that here is lot of noise in admission process and IIT / IIM are not the only institutes from where students go to top Phd programs. Also, to the poster below (teaching experience from IIM), the teaching experience in IIM - A is seriously of no use to get through a PhD program. They look for good grounding in economics and mathematics, good LOR's etc. Hard luck and best luck for other applications

no more waiting!

Funding to be decided in May

finally got rejected! what took you so long g'town?

To the poster below: sorry guys I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. True I had negligible chances and by wondering I meant if I had any chances if I scored 800 in quant. I was a bit hopeful only because the management college I was talking about is indeed Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad but my verbal score was too low I guess. I was highly optimistic but I am not at all surprised by the result. It was expected. In fact I have already been denied by lower ranking schools than Purdue. All the best to you guys!!

I am the one who posted below about Purdue... no worries... have already accepted an offer... just wanted to know the result... :-)

After long wait and sleepless nights they rejected me after my query to status of my application, Q 760, V 470, AWA 3. Teaching experience in one of the best business schools in India. I wonder if a Q 800 would have made any difference!!!

Again,to the poster below,Q790,V320,AW3

To the poster below:)I received decision after I asked my status

I called them since I haven't heard anything from the school so far. They said I have an unfunded offer, and if you haven't heard anything from the school at this point (no accept, no reject...) you can assume that you have an unfunded offer

Awesome financial aid! Was originally on waitlist.

To the UGA poster below: I got a funded offer in March. I know Terry made 6 fellowship offers and 5 have accepted (including myself), according to the grad coordinator and one professor I spoke to a couple of weeks ago. So, in theory, they should make at least another funded offer soon. Best of luck!

anyone got second round funding offer from UGA?
