Congratulations! Those are some great choices. I think the choice is between BC and Minnesota. Maryland is good, but doesn't have as large of a...

I am going to class right now. Answer you later... FYI I am insider.

Yeah I can find their Phd placement but could not find their just masters placement and it is crucial since 2/3 of the students fail. I also wanted...

always wait until confirmed waitlist to assume IR... one big takeaway from this year is that schools may always send results in batches, so if you...

Should I expect IR from Cornell and BC if I have not heard back? There seems to be much fewer acceptances on gradcafe than previous years...

Hi guys. Some of you have heard from University of Arizona?

Thank you for your suggestion!

Based on my limited observation on GC, UVA tends to mass-waitlist candidates and then wait for the offers to trickle down. Can anyone confirm that...

Interesting. 2 years ago when I applied I don't think Cornell's econ dept used applyweb website to release letter, instead ppl just get communication...

Can confirm. I am one of the Cornell acceptances posted on GC. Received an e-mail and there is also a general decision letter on applyweb website.

Thank you for looking into it and sharing! There is still hope!

I'm in accounting, so my perception might not be perfect for finance, but I would choose Booth and it's not close. A big part of that perception is...

Can anyone confirm the Cornell results on gradcafe?

I understand now, and I appreciate you for sharing! Good luck with your decision as well, sounds like you also have some great options on the table...

Good to hear another perspective on Harvard Bus-Ec versus Harvard econ, interesting that "HBS Bus Ec ~ MIT > Harvard." Seems like most posters...

There is really a lot of misinformation in this thread. I am only familiar with Bus-ec and Kellogg MEDs based on my own research when I was applying....

Turned down WUSTL, Duke and Michigan last week. Will turn down BU too. Good luck!

I believe they did not. Last year, NW sent out a first wave of rejections, then WL/final rejections. This second wave was in mid-March thru April. I...

Did Northwestern send out WLs? Or is not hearing back likely an IR at this point?

I was essentially trying to make the same point as FMiller, but they were much clearer about it. Presumably, Columbia Business Economics is...

That's a really, really smart thing to do. Wish more applicants followed your advice.

Huh, surprising! I found it valuable as an applicant to include a paragraph about department fit, partially because it actually helped me realize...

Upvoted for your explanations, thank you! I am curious to hear others' thoughts as well, especially @hallowedelegy because they also mentioned this...

I’m going to turn down WUSTL, Duke, UCSD, and UT-Austin this week. Good luck on waitlists all

Is there anyone here that applied to Queen Mary and received interview invitation?

You can find the placement on the website. They list students name and where they were placed. It is not unclear. Someone said above that they...

Yeah I got that same email, 3rd waitlist for me and by far the nicest note lol. I think in two more weeks I'll reach out to any schools I haven't...

Yes, for Harvard, this is absolutely the case. I listed some of the reasons in my previous answer -- in Harvard's case, Business Economics strictly...
