Graduate School Admission Results

Did anyone else receive an interview request? I don't see any others posted here... 2-year Fed RA, bad GRE, from top 50 US undergrad, math through real analysis

No surprise but still hurt! 1a/4r/10p

Received email yesterday (Feb 15). Stats: Undergrad senior, 4 publications (2 first author), 3 RA's. Only one assistantship was conducted in economics. Publications are also not in an economic journal, although their material are economics related.

GPA is from masters in Economics. Undergrad is Mathematics. Informal offer by email from the chair of admissions. Asked if we could discuss the offer by phone. Same offer as below, offered me 25k of stipend for the first two years, but said that I may receive a fellowship in the next weeks.

I received an informal letter from the chair and notified that I received a fellowship. I was offered a generous funding (around 30k) first year. It says that the official letter is coming shortly.

Informal offer by email. Chair of admissions committee asked to setup a call to discuss the offer. Offered me 25k of stipend for the first 2 years, but said that I may receive a fellowship.

Email w/o offer letter, but saying that my stipend for the first 2 years is 25k per year.

First rejection of the season, probably because of less-than-great GRE. Whatever, I got into Davis and I'll probably go there. Still a kick in the pants.

Thank you for your application to the Agricultural and Applied Economics graduate program. I regret to inform you that our Admissions Committee has recommended that you not be admitted to the UW-Madison AAE Ph.D graduate program. Competition for both admissions and financial support is quite high this year. This action was based on a careful review of all the materials in your file. Thank you for your interest in our department. We wish you the best in your continuing studies

Another rejection 😢

An insider, who was "Interviewed" and "Near the top of the waitlist". Becca once told me that the size of the waitlist is 50, and 25 are defined as "near the top". I also just received the "April 12 decision" email, and I believe at least 20 received this email. It means nothing. They are disgraceful.

Received the same email as below from Becca George about still in consideration. And TPB who's accepted: congrats! Did you receive the top 5 candidates or any communication beforehand?

Very excited! I am going to accept.
