Institution: Northwestern Program: Economics PhD Decision: Rejected Funding: - Notification date: 02/21/14 Notified through: Website. Posted on GC: No Comments: Not to surprised.

I have been emailing with a professor on the admissions committee. He is a friend of a professor I work for.

They have only released for a few of the top students that they really want. They will be releasing more later after they hear back from that first group of students.

I haven't.
