Did my undergrad at LSE, currently doing Master elsewhere

Checked the portal

e-mail received: On behalf of the Graduate Studies Committee at Notre Dame, I want to thank you for applying to our Ph.D. program in Economics. We appreciate your interest in our program. The admissions committee met recently to deliberate, and I regret to inform you that your application did not move further along in our process. This year, the application pool was extremely competitive, and we were only able to extend an offer of admission to a small percentage of applicants. Many factors contributed to our decision, including fit with the program and the various academic fields. Though I know this news may be difficult to hear, I want to encourage you to keep pursuing your work in economics. Many fantastically qualified individuals were not admitted, so please do not take this as an indication that your qualifications were poor or your dreams unworthy. In the days ahead, you will receive a formal letter from the University of Notre Dame Graduate School informing you of our decision. Due to the large number of applications we received, we are not able to provide individual feedback on Committee decisions. Please accept my best wishes for your future, and I hope you will find the perfect fit at another Ph.D. program. With best wishes

Stevens Doctoral Program (Joint PhD in Financial Economics)

Didn't expect cuz I've had several research experiences

168 Q. no predoc. funded.

Rejection was expected

GPA is graduate. First ad this season, will withdraw some applications.

Your application was very strong, and at this time, we have put you on the waitlist. This year we initially admitted fewer, and waitlisted more, applicants than we have in recent years. I fully anticipate that we will admit multiple students off our waitlist before the decision deadline of April 15.
