Wow I'm impressed how you used the time of anxiety and impatience to do something actually meaningful! I'm checking it out right now and it's very...

How did you eliminate the trolls from your retrieved data? Congrats, checking out!

Thanks, mate. Despite the bias stemming from the underlying GradCafe data, your R-shiny app is very informative!

Hey all, When I was waiting to hear back from schools in spring 2018 I made an R-shiny app using gradcafe data from the prior year to track when...

Too early to tell how this cycle is going to go. There's a lot of randomness and noise in admissions, and you can get rejected from an "easier"...

Rejected from TI here as well. I had applied to 17 PhD Finance programs and TI. Was counting on 3 shortlists, one of them is gone. I guess I have...

Too early to get any idea about this admission year. But doesn't acceptances go first before rejections go? That was the trend in PSU in the previous...

It's really difficult for me to judge how difficult a year this is going to be wrt acceptances. On the one hand, I'm seeing a lot of highly qualified...

I've read before that schools reject strong profiles since they think will probably get offers from better-ranked schools, so I wouldn't read too...

Some people with seemingly very strong profiles (according to GC) got rejected. Very strange

Adding to the 'has anyone heard back' questions: Booth Behavioral Science and Stanford OB.

Lots of PSU rejections in GC. No acceptances. This is a strange year!

I am sorry to hear that. Best wishes for your other applications.

It was me and I have a classmate that was also rejected.

GC posts are about Northeastern, not Northwestern.

That's Northeastern not Northwestern

Now Northwestern sent "rejection" mails...(check GC) Last year, NW sent "acceptance" mail in the mid February. Why so many changes?

@ginger gold Yes, we can expect until Tuesday, given 26th is when it marks 56 days precisely from the deadline. The wait is excruciating.

Of course! This will be right. If you have a master's degree, you can easily get a job. Having a large base of knowledge will be easy for you in life

Hi! Has anyone heard back from Texas A&M for marketing (quant) ?

There is a Tinbergen rejection in GC. Today marks the 8th week since the deadline. Can we expect results in the coming days?

We may finally be able to settle the GRE useful/not useful debate, though we will have to wait 6-7 years to see the job market results of this cohort.

We are also only part way through our applications. In our case, our applications are up about 45 percent. We don't know yet whether we will have...

This is good to hear, thank you for sharing. My biggest anxiety this year is getting disappointing results and always wondering how much of an effect...

It seems like this year gradcafe should be discounted to ~0 because of all the trolls.

From UCLA economics PhD FAQs page: 'When will I know if I have been admitted to the program? All decisions are typically released in early March.'

My opinion doesn't count for much but if you're interested in Micro go to UCL. It's easier to stay there for a PhD for you do your MSc there. With a...

I believe that's almost surely a troll

I haven't yet. My conversation was on 1/8, and I'm still crossing my fingers!
