I mean, it was expected :P But hey, no harm in hoping right?

SAFETY SCHOOL. WHY??????????????????????

TPB: I am in the same boat and I make the same request. Please!

If you have better offers, please decline their offer or waitlist. Thanks!

To the poster below, are you planning to accept?

Visit day was yesterday. About 30 prospective students attended. I would say a third have better offers (though some are hesitating because of the atmosphere in other programs – Chicago – and funding – UCSD), and a couple more have equivalent offers. Optimistically, the 15 best placed people on the waitlist can expect an offer, assuming some of these will leave the waitlist.

TPB: Is the 160 people waitlist for a single track or across all different fields? Also the class size 15-20, is this just Econ PhD or all different fields? Thx

TPB: thank you for sharing this information with us! 160 is very long and I now feel like there is no hope

I called up Cornell: They said that there are 160+ students on the waiting list and the waiting list is separate by different fields i.e. Applied, Development etc. They reported admitting 60 students out of 550+ applications for a target class size of 15-20.

TBP: What I meant is that all offers are sent. They will only make offers to people on the waiting list if admited people decline their offer. But I recall seeing a lot of people who, like me, have not heard from them for a long time (admission, rejection or waitlist). This leads me to believe that the waitinglist is pretty long. There's still so hope, just not too much...

They told you they aren't anticipating any further admissions? They told me about a week ago more decisions will be made at the end of the month. Now I am losing hope too

Wrote to them 3 weeks ago. They just got back to me telling me I'm waitlisted and that they do not anticipate any further admissions. I'm not putting too much hope in this one...

To the poster below, still waiting mate

I received Yongmaio Hong’s email around noon of NY time. I did not receive the wl email.

TPB: were you notified about being on the waitlist earlier? And can you tell us around what time you got the offer and who sent it to you? Thanks!
