I knew I would get it. And I was not from IITs which are the best in India.

I received an e-mail stating that my admission decision was ready. I then had to access my online application and was directed to a web page that informed me of my acceptance.

ok. has anyone heard anything from purdue, uiuc, or iu bloomington? i've been wait listed at all three (weeks and weeks ago) and i'm wondering what the chances are, here, realistically. i'm getting ready to pull my hair out.

To comment on few posters below, I come from top notch economics department in India. People from here make it to princeton, NYU, Columbia and likes every every year and these same gusy got rejections from Purdue and similar ranked universities which were supposed to be there safe options. I made it to Boston (not great, but at least top 20 program) which is better than Purdue by all means. This just indicates that here is lot of noise in admission process and IIT / IIM are not the only institutes from where students go to top Phd programs. Also, to the poster below (teaching experience from IIM), the teaching experience in IIM - A is seriously of no use to get through a PhD program. They look for good grounding in economics and mathematics, good LOR's etc. Hard luck and best luck for other applications

no more waiting!

I applied for the PhD program and got in to the MA program with no funding. I had other funded PhD offers so whatever. Peace out Purdue.

4.0 Undergrad GPA and decent GRE scores. Denied.

general GRE was 1570/1600, math subject GRE was 810

To the poster below: sorry guys I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. True I had negligible chances and by wondering I meant if I had any chances if I scored 800 in quant. I was a bit hopeful only because the management college I was talking about is indeed Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad but my verbal score was too low I guess. I was highly optimistic but I am not at all surprised by the result. It was expected. In fact I have already been denied by lower ranking schools than Purdue. All the best to you guys!!

I am the one who posted below about Purdue... no worries... have already accepted an offer... just wanted to know the result... :-)

After long wait and sleepless nights they rejected me after my query to status of my application, Q 760, V 470, AWA 3. Teaching experience in one of the best business schools in India. I wonder if a Q 800 would have made any difference!!!

Again,to the poster below,Q790,V320,AW3

To the poster below:)I received decision after I asked my status

Finally... Bless those who are still waiting. The committee told me that they are still reviewing so don't give up on your hope.

After total radio silence (not even a wait-list notification!), I got a call from the department offering me acceptance with full funding. They said they would not be surprised if I had already accepted somewhere else, which I have, so good luck to the next confused recipient of a Purdue phone call!
