GPA grad. 0a/7r/11p

Invited to virtual recruiting event? I don't know exactly what it means.

Sigh! 1A/1W/5R/1IR/12P

We have thoroughly reviewed your application, the supporting papers submitted on your behalf, and the recommendation made by the department to which you have applied. I regret to inform you that on the basis of this joint consideration, we are unable to approve your admission to graduate study. Graduate education is characterized by extremely small classes and close mentoring by faculty. As a result, programs have only a limited number of available positions. Each year we receive many more applications than can be accommodated; consequently, we are unable to admit many highly qualified students.

There will be an interview in a few weeks(which is strange..interviews after they give out admission offers?). Invited to a virtual recruiting event on March.

Had a zoom call with DGS. Fully funded. Very grateful. GPA is grad.

Insulting to be rejected by this safety, even if there are only 8 slots...

Aiming cohort of 8 students. Congrats for those admitted.

"The committee evaluated a large number of applications for an incoming class of approximately 8 students. "

Am I the only one got rejection? I am writing in regards to your application to the PhD program in the Department of Economics at the University of Illinois. The committee evaluated a large number of applications for an incoming class of approximately 8 students. There were very many strong applications, and so we had to make some tough choices. While the committee was impressed with your credentials, I regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to our program. Thank you for considering the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Please accept my best wishes for success in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Stefan Krasa Director of Graduate Studies Chair, Ph.D. Admissions Committee
