Same for me, but then I emailed the director. Rejected.

Does anyone know whether Booth econ has an interview or not? Didn't see any posts at GC.

In the email they say they are still working on the application pile, so don't worry.

Email: The decision for your application to the Wharton Doctoral Programs is now available online. Website: Click to "View Your Decision Letter". A separate PDF: Dear (my name), Your application is currently being reviewed by the Admissions Committee and your application status is pending. Is it a "decision"? Does anyone know I'm dead or still alive?

Thanks EustaciaVye. Good to know that.

Hi EustaciaVye, see that you have received the email offer congratulations! Did they mention your name in the email, or they just send to a bunch of people together?

Thank you PhDPlease! I understand many people change fields. I think I need to write SOP clearly.

Thanks fake22! Good luck to you also!

Dear all, I am a econ master student in China. I will apply to PhD next fall. GPA and English scores are OK to me, but my current research experience bothers me a little bit. For now I have two sets of research ongoing, in different fields. One is labor and marriage, coauthored with my advisor and another prof. We will have two working papers ready by next summer and I will present in conferences. My advisor will also give seminars in US (including a top10 dept.) in spring about these projects. I also have a coauthored labor paper ready to submit (we will try from an A journal but maybe ended up in a tier-2). I think I will choose labor to be the primary field in my application. However, I also have a submitted paper in international finance, which was coauthored with a junior faculty one year ago. But it will be, if published, only a tier-3 paper and really not my field in the future. With this prof., we also have an ongoing project on corporate finance. It's very likely this one can also generate a working paper and start conference presentation upon my application. Corporate finance may be my secondary field because I am also interested in it. Will these experience make me look like not focusing and hurt my application to labor? I think I will say in my PS that through all these research my interest in labor becomes more clear, and I may consider combine labor and corporate governance in future research. But not sure whether that's enough. I will appreciate it a lot if you could provide some advice on how I can make my application sharper. Thanks in advance!
