    Yep, received email notification to check website! At least I have somewhere to go now :')

    I saw on gradcafe that someone had their interview with Booth Behavioral Science last week already and decisions would be rolling out this week/next week.

    Real - friend got in!

    New post on GradCafe saying Caltech is sending out offers already... Doesn't seem like a troll post?

    Guess I didn’t even get into the interview round then... Damn BPP was my dream program :(

    And no one’s heard from Berkeley Haas BBP yet? I’m starting to get worried :(

    Can I ask what your last name starts with? I haven't received any emails regarding waitlist/acceptance but my decision letter hasn't shown up on my portal yet - I figure they are doing it in alphabetical order? (My last name starts with W) Edit: nvm - it showed up seconds later!

    idk about the acceptance but the BusEcon interview could be real... I know someone who got in last year and was interviewed around the same time.

    For Ag. Econ people, my friend received an interview offer early last week from Cornell AEM!

    For those of you who are also applying to business econ programs - has anyone heard from Berkeley Haas BPP, Chicago Booth Behavioral Science, UCSD Rady, Michigan Ross or NYU Stern?

    Has anyone heard from Haas (BPP), Booth (Behavioral Science), Stern (Business Econ) or UCSD Rady?

    Thanks for the responses! OP here. I did end up re-taking Linear Algebra and did very well in the course (A+), even though I am not sure to what extent that would make up for my previous B-. Chateauheart was right - I have far from flawless recommendation letters. My faculty has a consistent record of placing students into Top 15 programs, but very rarely Top 5 ones, and my other letter writers are pretty well-known but I doubt the letters would be considered very strong. I was also wondering what universities would be considered “target schools”. Is it based more on the undergrad ranking or the grad Econ ranking of my undergrad institution, and what would be a cutoff? Thanks!

    Thanks! I actually did take real analysis the following semester and got an A. Should I just go ahead and retake Linear Algebra then? Are there any other undergraduate classes that I should take (eg. analysis 2) or should I get ahead and take a graduate economics class in the spring? Thanks again!

    Hi, I didn’t do well in my undergraduate Linear Algebra II class and got a B- - mainly because I bombed my final exam. Anyways, I just graduated and am now working as an RA, and have the opportunity to take post-bacc classes at a local university (different form the university I attended). Should I retake Linear Algebra, or should I just leave it and take other classes like stochastic processes or the statistics version of Linear regressions? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

    Thanks a lot for the advice! I go to a Top 20 public university(yes... there's only one) and despite the great econ department I'm honestly not sure how prestigious it is considered to be on an undergraduate level. A lot of people say that there is heavy grade deflation at my school but again many universities claim to suffer from that so I'm honestly not really sure. Anyways thank you for your advice :) I will definitely focus a lot more on my grades this semester.
