Had interview. Got waitlisted

No Funding

Man, PhD applications are always this demoralizing? Tough week.

Fully Funded, yayyyyyy

Accepted after interview. 36K funding.

Needed that!

No Pre-doc. Strong 100 word SOP. Strong alignment with Professors.

Thank you for your interest in a graduate program at the University of Rochester. The applicant pool was extremely well qualified, and our faculty committees faced difficult decisions. We regret to inform you that you have not been selected for admission to the Economics PhD program for the upcoming academic year. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

e-mail received: I am writing in regards to your application to the PhD program in the Department of Economics at the University of Illinois. The committee evaluated a large number of applications for an incoming class of approximately 10 students. There were very many strong applications, and so we had to make some tough choices. While the committee was impressed with your credentials, I regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to our program. Thank you for considering the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Please accept my best wishes for success in your future endeavors.
