Graduate School Admission Results

TPB: Thank you so much for your reply! If you don't mind, may I please ask whether the 1st round offers sent last week included any international applicants as well?

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 !!!

To the poster below: UIUC, definitely. especially if you're interested in Agricultural economics..!

No email notification, keep checking the status yourself. Good luck!

So excited to have received this offer but funding :(

I am very pleased to offer you admission to the Master's program in economics at Penn State beginning in the Fall of 2019. We are not in a position to offer funding or tuition relief for the Master's program. Please contact Giselle Buck at glb6@psu.edu (and cc Krista Winkelblech at kfg106@psu.edu) before February 28 if you want to avail yourself of this opportunity and receive the formal offer letter. We will then require that you respond to the offer by May 1, 2019. If your plans become clear before then, we would appreciate hearing as soon as possible, so that we can contact applicants on the waiting list. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate you on your fine academic record. I understand that the Masters program was not your first choice. However, this year we received many more deserving applications than we could accommodate and we are therefore unable to offer you a place in the PhD program. Please feel free to write to me if you have any questions. Best regards. Marc Henry Director of Graduate Studies, Economics

the details will come after the approval of the grad schools but yet it says the financial aid covers tuition,health insurance and stipend.

A mass email. Sad!

Expected, but still hurt.

Wasn't expected, 0 and 3 now.

Called them yesterday. Coordinator said I am in with a small group of students that they have yet to make a final decision on. She said she was pressing the committee to make a final decision soon. Fingers crossed!

Off the waiting list!

Anyone heard back from Bus Econ and Public Policy yet? Seems like such a closed box, no word from anyone in admissions and its March already..
