If your interests lie in the intersection of Economics and Finance, always go for the business school option if you can stomach teaching...

I'm in the same place with WUSTL for now. Schools are facing extra uncertainty this cycle to and I think your intuition is right that not hearing...

I haven't heard back from a lot of schools that have apparently sent out both acceptances and rejections. Beginning to wonder if some of these...

Hi all, can anyone share some insights about the Bocconi Finance program? The information on other threads is dated. Have reached out to current...

Hey there -- George Mason University is still accepting applicants (until March 15). They have a fantastic OB department. PhD in Business |...

My friend didn't get a Berkeley update, but checked their portal and saw a rejection letter. If you haven't gotten an email from Berkeley, check your...

Tutonic is right. UC3M's PhD is very good. It doesn't have the placement record of BGSE's PhD program though, partly because it's less...

If you have terrible grades in mathematics, how sure are you that you'd even get into a good PhD programme to begin with? The purpose of doing a...

I was waitlisted too, fingers crossed. Do you have some idea of how long this waitlist is? A decent amount of posts about info of the WL have been...

Hi. Are you aware of any PhD program in Business Administration/Management in Canada that is still accepting new applications? I've applied to 6...

Thank you! What do you mean when you say “UT-Austin is almost competitive”? Almost competitive to UW for macro-labor? Or almost competitive to most...

I think Wisconsin strictly dominates UT-Austin for labor overall but UT-Austin is almost competitive for those particularly interested in macro labor...

Lol at the person who downvoted my comments. I know the programme very well and instead of disliking, it would be better to disprove what I am saying...

I've only heard back from 7 out of 16 programs so I guess a number of programs haven't interviewed yet.

Thank you!! I applied only to both these school and I am pretty hopeful. I am slowly getting to worry. Do you think it is normal to not hear back...

Don't think it's an IR, they've been reaching out to people to ask if they're still interested so that makes me think there will be more acceptances.

Look at the placement data over the past 2-3 years of the macro students specifically and see which is better. That'd be a good enough metric.

Yes, precisely what I am saying. You should only go to BGSE, if you already know necessary maths to succeed in a PhD or be very close to that point...

This is a bit unclear to me. Do you mean that you should only go to BGSE if you're exceptional at math because it's difficult to succeed in the...

Is there someone here that got into the PhD program in Business Administration and Management (Management track) with fellowship at Bocconi...

If your maths is not truly exceptional, do not go to BGSE. I know the programme from a friend and it is no good if you're already amazing at maths

How do you know how many Princeton admitted? I was waitlisted and led to believe the admit list was far smaller than that.

Is it an IR if still not hearing back from UT Austin, as there has been some offers on GC?

I should have said one more thing: You've gotten a record that most people would be jealous of. However this year turns out, you should be proud of...

I understand the difficulty of projecting on this forum; still extremely grateful for your feedback.
