TPB: Thank you so much for your reply! If you don't mind, may I please ask whether the 1st round offers sent last week included any international applicants as well?

TPB: Yes, I can confirm that means that you are on the waitlist. UofT, UBC, McGill, and Queens sent their offers last week. Guess your profile was not as strong as you think. Good luck.

Advice needed please: I'm an international applicant, quite a strong profile, have heard back from 3-4 places for MA Econ with partial to full funding. But these seem to be the 2nd tier schools. I'm waiting for decisions from SFU, McMaster, McGill, Queen's, U of T & UBC. My question is: When do these top schools announce the international applicants' results? Should I email them? If so, when can I do that? I have not heard back yet - does that imply I'm on a wait-list in these places? Any kind of info/advice will be more than welcome. Thank you so much.

Email to check website. Harvard' loss.

Are there any universities with deadlines left? Irrespective of the rankings

Also recieved an acceptance for the MAPSS-ECON, but I was applying to the Econ phD.

To the poster below, if you've already accepted somewhere then decline the schools you haven't received rejections from because you're likely still being considered and wasting everyone else's time (applicants and PhD programs alike).

I was curious if any of the responses here were legitimate so I emailed the school (since people are posting very early compared to most years which have responses like 2 weeks after what people on here posted). I was told: "...Economics hasn’t made any offers yet, so there’s not even an official wait list at this time...." Figured as much

Rejected, informal email. 0a/4r/3itv/12prnrnI'm honestly surprised, two of my letter writers got their Ph.D. from Rice (stats and math). I've done research with these two professors and I know they think favorably of me. I've done about 2.5 years of research, sent two gres... I'm the person who just posted about brown with the lengthy description.

This was the first program I applied to and It was an accident (rough draft of my SOP was submitted, etc.). Oh well. Also, the email was terribly informal. Sent by the Dean of the graduate school (why not the department...?) Here's my summary: 0a/0w/3r (PSU, Yale, brown)/3itv/13p, from a school ranked ~200 in the USA, Math/Econ major stats minor, 3.81 gpa, 2.5 yrs of research (1 yr in an NSF funded program, 2.5 in McNair Scholars, 8wks at prestigious school for summer REU); research in complex numbers, statistics (KDE and QReg), and computational financial math (at summer REU), only 3 years of university (took AP/DC courses in HS), 1 paper near publication, at least 3 decent letters of recommendation (2 McNair advisers (1 being a prof. I had in 3 classes Summer REU), I was homeless in HS which inspires what I want to study, and I have an internship in Act.Sci/Pred.Analyt. at a good company for SUM'18, president of 2 clubs, treasurer of one, Vice Prez of a political org. (raised $5,000 for Hurr. Harvey and sent down goods), and I’m a mentor for at-risk (drugs/homelessness) kids and I mentor/tutor for TRIO. I sent 2 GRE scores to all schools (161v/165q/5w and 158v/166q/5w). I want to research market design/IO/MicroE, namely, types of market exchanges/Auct.Thy/Game.Thy.

1 paper near publishing, 2 grad courses, finished my degree in 3 years, 2.5 years of research experience, decent-to-strong letters of recommendation, was homeless in high school, good/strong personal statement, 1 Summer REU at a top school... IDK why I wasn't admitted. I've heard back from top 10 schools but Penn state rejects me? lmao

My first offer of admission...kiss goodbye to anxiety...good luck everyone!

Hey guys! I'm thrilled to have accepted UVA's offer, and I'd love to get to know other people on the program. If you feel like it, do reach out at [email protected] (temporary)
