Hey guys, just wondering who's going to WashU as well. Hope to see some of you there!

In my case, I simply returned the DGS mail confirming my acceptance and he informed the secretary and grad school. Don't know if that will work for you though. Excited for the new life coming! Anyone joins me in St. Louis?

I do think they're expecting to open up a slot and will offer you if you're interested. Good news!

No CMU info here as well.

Well, it's late here in Asia, so you must forgive me that I divided 40 by 6 and forgot to times 2.

Nothing yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Yeah my bad, accidentally went to the Krannert page. With 40 current student, assume 20% attrition rate, that would make the admission number about 10. If the attrition rate is 50%, the admission number would be around 6-7.

"There are approximately 100 students enrolled in the Krannert Doctoral Programs during the 2012-2013 academic year." assuming no one fails prelims, that's about 20 students per year. With attrition, I would assume 30.

Various CMU rejections on GC. Anyone here can confirm this, or received other e-mail? Edit: Just saw one in the admission thread, must have missed it.

No panic here. Rejection is a must for me.

Dear Mr. Committee, Your admission had been reviewed by me thoroughly. I regret to inform you that I cannot accept your admission to the XXX program. Due to the large amount of admission I received, it is a difficult task ranking all admissions. I understand this may be a distressing news, but many notable departments have been turned down, therefore by no means is this a judgement upon your prestigious program. I hope you can understand this and try again when I'm on the market. Sincerely yours, XXX

Surveys were conducted in fall 2012 by Ipsos Public Affairs. Seems they updated the methodology.

well northwestern joins the top 7 then :D

How is it they need 5 years to produce the ranking? So the data was given even before the 2009 edition came out. ROFL.

Best Economics Programs | Top Economics Schools | US News Best Graduate Schools not much of a difference, anyone notice any big changes? also, pages 3 still shows 2009, might be an overlook. was MSU this high in the previous version?
