Waiting for the crumbs!

Unhappy Has anybody heard back from B-schools?

Dearest all,

The PhD in Business forum has been extremely quiet regarding admissions/interviews/rejects. I have a friend (Marketing) who's been accepted at Fuqua and called to interview at Kellogg and UBC. Another friend (Finance/B-Econ) has already had interviews at Stanford and HBS, and has been rejected from Columbia. But I have not heard anything 'til now...

I have applied to several PhD programs including Fuqua (Decision Sciences), Stanford GSB (Econ Analysis & Policy) and Tepper (Economics), all of which seemingly have begun to accept applicants. Since I haven't heard anything so far, thinking how small --1 to 8 acceptances each year-- these programs are, does it mean I am screwed?

Help, please!

She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire."

Exclamation

hi...

from what i have understood...when you hear from univs. also depends on when the committee goes through your file in the process....so you should wait out the entire duration, like mid feb to mid march, to hear from them...

it is a little like waiting for your bag at the airport carousel ...hang in there...

As I said I already received emails and invitation to spend a couple a days at a BS in the UTexas system.. no offer yet.. and I have been rejected from CMU financial economics... that's all..

my guess is that we are gonna see most on the movements in the next two weeks.

Thank you. I just hope it is like you say....it's just that I am starting to think the ad-coms are already playing with their narrow list of 10-15 candidates to fill their less than 10 slots, and only after they make a decision regarding them, they will let the rest of us mortals know of our fate

Anyway, I have to get my spirits up.... SOMEBODY must want me

Hoping for the best for you.....sad to hear about Tepper, which, be the way, only seems to confirm they've already decided (my application is administered by Fulbright).
