Jesus, how are some of you so insufferable and elitist? We're studying economics, not curing cancer. Get over yourselves. Congrats to everyone who got in this cycle, that is an achievement to be proud of. Don't let obnoxious internet users ruin your day.

TPB: If you are going to MIT, then it beats me as to what the heck are you doing on this forum anymore. LRM or HRM institutions, it doesn't matter, those are their achievements and could be helpful to report here for others. And if people were getting unemployed by going to LRM institutions then those programs wouldn't even exist in the first place with funding, my dude. But again, congratulations on MIT. Might I suggest that you revise your demand, supply theories, and IC curves before your program starts? And before you go off calling me illiterate, I am going to NYU.

FYI this forum is not a good place to help you form incoming students groups, urch is probably a good place or reach out to your program directly to get a student list. Please stop with these posts as well as where you have accepted offers, it's pretty annoying

I personally know several students who are/were holding more than 2-3 top offers until few hours ago. These feed back in a domino to lower schools. Don't lose hope yet!

What happened to the schools that are not sending their results to the waitlisted applicants till now. At least they should send out rejections

Finally accepted my lowest priority school since the four schools waitlisted me are radio silence.
Glad my cycle is finally over, but I wish i got rejected already by those four schools.
good luck every one.
this is a sh$$y cycle for sure.

(not WL) Who is that annoying guy always asking about GRE and TOEFL scores? In the assessment of your profile these scores dont count so much, it is more relevant your experience as RA, grades and recommendations, Those scores are only cutoff.

If you are still holding multiple offers, please decline them ASAP!! It's already the 15th and there's still no information from multiple colleges

At this point, how reliable is the message that says "the top of the waitlist"? It seems that some departments sent out such message to almost everyone : (

There is no reason or excuse to hold onto offers anymore, unless you’re waitlisted at a more dominant school. PLEASE TURN THEM DOWN

Please use Urch in the future. And it is def okay to renege if you get an offer. You are facing economists who mostly do optimizations one way or another. They will understand if you want to go to a better place... Also i think you don't even need to get a formal release from the first program anyway. There was a rule change signed by all schools in Fall 2019.

TPB: please use Urch in the future. blatant misinformation by previous poster. Of course it’s not ideal but usually departments don’t mind too much. They don’t really care if you do your PhD at there institution or somewhere else. They know it’s a much more important decision for you as an individual than for the department

it's pretty bad to renege after you've accepted, economics academia is a small circle, people will talk, so it will reflect poorly on you, also school B can find out that you've accepted an offer already, again small circle

TBP: You should ask this sort of question on Urch, not gradcafe. But to answer: you should accept your best offer before the deadline. If you subsequently receive a better offer, you can go to school A and ask to be released so you can accept the offer from school B. They will likely be understanding and grant it to you. I wouldn't ask for an extension or mention the possibility of a release until you actually receive an offer from school B.

I have a general query -- I am in a situation where I have an offer from Department A, and the deadline to accept that offer is 15th April. I am also on the waitlist of Department B (which is preferred), but they are saying they will only be able to inform me post April 15. I am sure I cannot be the only one in this position, so wanted to ask what you guys are doing in such situations? Should I write to Department A asking for an extension? What if they don't grant one and I do accept, and then I get an acceptance from Department B a couple days later...how bad is it to revoke your acceptance?

Really appreciating how transparent Stockholm University was about their admissions process now (even if it was a little weird). Giving us exact numbers for offers they sent out, how many accepted them etc. These US universities are killing me, I don't understand why they can't reveal where in the waitlist I am, not even an approximate. God bless the Swedes

Can you guys please stop trolling? The admin person at Duke said no one yet received any offer from the waitlist, and NYU said the second round of offers will go out on April 10th. What do you have to gain by being like this? We are all super anxious and this is the last thing we need.

I'm not entirely certain why we don't already do this, but it would be especially helpful for those on waitlists if the people who list the abundance of offers which they decline also listed which offer they accepted. I'm sure this is a little taboo, and people may not always know which offer they will accept upon declining others, but I'm also sure that is not always the case. Just a thought, not trying to be a jerk. :)
