Kick UNC econ department's assxxxx. So ugly of their words. I was admitted to much better school, ok? Disgusting and rude enough. Fxxk them! To prospective student: it is really not worthwhile to apply for this damn UNC Econ PhD program at all. Cherish your money, there are so many better program with better people.

TPB: agree with you. I could not imagine receiving rejection notification with sentence like *I must inform you that it will not be possible to offer you admission*. Too ugly. Too bad. UNC sucks!

Check the website and a letter there. "I must inform you that it will not be possible to offer you admission to the Economics program." Disaster application process for having no new news for 5 months and most horrible most disrespectful and rudest rejection words.

Declined on 16th. Good luck to those in the wl!

I went to interviews in Feb > waitlisted > rejected

I declined the offer from UNC and they said that "admissions will soon reopen for the second round" on April 17th.

Can't remember my exact GRE score but it wasn't GREAT but my overall application was strong.

They stated I would hear in a week and here I am almost 3 weeks later rejected. My portal said “decisioned” for three days before they even posted my rejection. Very surprised and disappointed.

I've accepted!

Was notified three times over the last few months that my application was receiving good reviews, then rejected via e-mail after about a month of radio silence. Interesting.

Has anyone heard from them or have an update of when to expect decisions?

Desperately waiting. If you decide not to attend, please, please decline the offer before 4/15

TTPB: No communication yet. The checklist on the portal now consists of less number of details. No idea about anything else.

Has anyone received an update on the status? The site shows nothing but "Submitted".

If anyone has been extended an offer but is not planning to attend, please decline the offer as soon as possible at least in advance of 4/15. If you already made up your mind, please don't wait for the common reply date. They are waiting to hear from you (first round of offers) before offering other places. I am begging for your mercy. This is my last hope as I have no other offer yet.
