this hurt my feelings :.( for, i'm sure, not even close to the last time.

Top 3 US masters. 2+ years of research experience. International undergrad GPA 3.72 Grad GPA 4.0. 1a/4r/10p

Expected at this point; GPA is from M.A. Econ at a US top 10 school. 1 year part-time RA during Masters; Acceptance: Pompeu Fabra (BGSE Ph.D. Track), Georgetown; Waitlisted: UC Irvine, ZGSE; Rejections: U Chicago, Stanford, Berkeley ARE, LSE, Yale SOM (Finance), Princeton;

I got accepted into both programs and asked them how many students they admitted. Princeton accepted exactly 50 students, and Yale accepted slightly more than 50. That is a 33% drop from roughly 75 admits in the previous year. There could be a slight decrease in cohort size, but not much, so that means there might be a slightly higher probability of being accepted off the waitlist. However, given the special situation of this year (especially Harvard only admitting 1/4 of class size), I suspect the yield rate for both schools would be higher. Hope that helps!

Predoc at top 5. 4a/4r/0wl/13p

Top pre-doc

Also wondering about the pre doc fellowship!

1a/5r/7p thought this letter was kinder and more genuine than most letters *cough* Yale Chicago *cough*

In terms of fields Yale is a better fit for me so not really sad. Crazy year for admissions, hang in there everyone!

Anyone offered the Princeton Pre-Doctoral Fellowship Initiative instead?

Email with rejection letter

international applicant, oxbridge research master w/ distinction, 2y RA for nobel laureate. Rejects from Y/P/S/Chicago/LSE. kudos to everyone accepted, you are awesome.

Expected but always painful. 2a/4r/0wl/10p

Can't decide if this feels better or worse than the IR
