Graduate School Admission Results

Please should we have to get another interview, Can you please tell us what the second interview you got is about?

I had a second interview

Emailed the director to ask about the application status. Interviewed three weeks ago. Good luck to the other applicants!

[Not waitlist] I haven't heard anything from Georgetown either.. would take it as IR.

GPA is grad, no GRE. Invited to virtual visit day. So excited, even if it's a WL!

Is georgetown done with sending admits? I haven't heard back from them so is it an IR?

Waitlisted for admission and funding. Funding about 22k/year. Will decline. Good luck to everyone on this list.

Food and Agriculture track. Never received the interview and I am curious about if there is any admission from this track. Anyway, disappointed.

TPB: I am optimistic I will be able to decline it very soon - hopefully by March 20

TPB: I was admitted (pending acceptance by the Graduate School) but waitlisted for funding.

email that my application is under serious consideration and an offer may be extended soon but is not guaranteed. Invited to visit day.

Very informative email (same as those below). They have been pretty up front about their financial situation given covid, which I appreciate. Hopefully this works out, although I'm pessimistic about getting funding even if admitted.

Are any of those who got an offer considering rejecting it at all? Thanks for any information.

At this time, we have placed you on a waitlist for funding and admission at the University of Maryland's Department of Economics. We may be able to extend some offers of admission and department funding for applicants like you who are currently on this waitlist, and we expect to be able to start making those decisions after April 1. In the meantime, we urge you to be in touch with us regarding any other offers of admission that you receive. We would also appreciate it if you would let us know as soon as you feel comfortable if you have competing offers that you think clearly dominate an offer from our Department. \r\n\r\n To help your decision-making process, I am providing you with information now as to what a funded offer will contain if we are able to extend one to you. Admitted applicants who are funded will receive a stipend of $22,732 per year for the first two years in the program, along with tuition remission and subsidized medical insurance. Assuming satisfactory progress in the program, we will extend the standard funding package through the fifth year of study. Your funding for the first year will be either a fellowship or graduate assistantship. You will be a graduate assistant in years two through five; graduate assistantships typically involve teaching or research. This offer does not cover mandatory fees. In addition to mandatory fees that are charged to all students, the University charges a fee of $125 per semester for all full-time students who are neither U.S. citizens nor permanent residents and who initially enrolled in Fall 2017 or later, to cover the additional costs of services for international students. All full-time enrolled graduate students are required to purchase health insurance.
