| Yale University | Economics, PhD (F21) | Accepted via POST on 14 Apr 2021 | I | 14 Apr 2021 | Rejected offer. Good luck! |
| Cornell, Duke, Minnesota, UCSD, Yale | Economics, PhD (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 14 Apr 2021 | A | 14 Apr 2021 | Will reject these offers today. |
| Yale University | Economics, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 13 Apr 2021 | 13 Apr 2021 | Anyone heard from Yale waitlist yet? | |
| CalTech, Princeton, Harvard, Yale | Economics, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 9 Apr 2021 | 9 Apr 2021 | TPB: Thank you for the information and congrats for the fantastic admissions. Would you mind sharing your field of interest and which program you are going to attend? Thanks in advance. | |
| CalTech, Princeton, Harvard, Yale | Economics, PhD (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 9 Apr 2021 | U | 9 Apr 2021 | I just declined the offers from them (To be precise, I withdrew myself from the waiting list for Harvard). Good luck! |
| Yale/Princeton | Economics, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 4 Apr 2021 | U | 4 Apr 2021 | I contacted the admin person and was told it's unlikely any offers will go out anytime before the April 15th week. They received only very few responses (rejections or acceptances of offers), even fewer than in previous years. Given that most of the people are cross-admits, I imagine it is the same across the top 10. |
| Stanford/ Yale/ Princeton | Economics, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 4 Apr 2021 | O | 4 Apr 2021 | Has anyone on the waiting list of these schools been called? Or is it still too soon to hear form them? Thanks in advance. |
| MIT/ Harvard/Princeton/ Stanford/ Yale/ Berkeley | Economics, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via POST on 30 Mar 2021 | O | 30 Mar 2021 | Out of the universities you mention I think the last visit day is MIT, ending on April 1st. So, there will be potentially more movement after that, which should trickle down to all top 20 universities (and maybe even beyond). Be patient and don't give up hope! |

| MIT/ Harvar/ Stanford/ Princeton/ Yale/ Berkeley | Economics, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 30 Mar 2021 | O | 30 Mar 2021 | I think that movements in these universities' waiting list can trigger a lot of movement in top 20 universities. I guess that after the open houses, we should expect more movements in those universities. Anyone knows when these universities' open houses are (were)? |
| UCSD, Minnesota, Cornell, Yale, Penn, Michigan, UCLA, Northwestern | Economics, PhD (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 26 Mar 2021 | I | 26 Mar 2021 | Declined these offers yesterday. Good luck to all. |

U | 16 Mar 2021 | Strong LORs. One from professor very famous in development, high grades in Econometrics and development classes. Come from a prestigious university in U.S, and 5 months research internship in economic development. However, no full-time experience. I think COVID has sparked a very high application in grad school apps this year. |
