Regular econ did a week ago. Their visit day is March 13 so you might still hear from them.

congrats! Which program is this for?

Saw a few PEG acceptances on GC. Haven't heard anything. Might be an implicit rejection.

And congrats erckle! MECS is a solid program.

Thanks, that's helpful. If I may ask, did they give any info about how many students they are accepting/when they expect to send out all decisions? I assume I didn't make the cut since it has been a week since you received your admission.

Can anyone confirm the NW Kellogg MECS posts on GC? There are three posts so far: 1 about interview and 2 about acceptances. But according to the posts, the interview and one of the acceptances occurred during Saturdays. Is it common to receive interview/acceptance notifications over the weekend? Not sure whether legit.

the decision came over email, fwiw

I too see the Terms and Conditions for my PEG application. For what its worth, I also applied to the econ dept and the link doesn't show for my econ application.

Northwestern Kellogg MECS--Good for empirically inclined folks?
mula replied to mula's topic in PhD in Economics
Thanks for the advice. I hadn't considered the value in receiving varied offers, but it makes good sense. I applied to MECS. Let's see how things play out. -
Would Kellogg's PhD in MECS (Managerial Economics and Strategy) be a good fit for someone interested in empirical research in incentives, strategy, and innovation? Given that NW only allows one application per cycle, would someone with these interests be better off applying to the econ or MECS program? The only MECS-related threads I could find on URCH are from 2010 or earlier, and they give the impression that MECS is heavily focused on theory. However, the MECS website doesn't state theory as its sole focus-it says students can work with both the MEDS and M&S faculty. There is also a fair number of current students doing applied work. Can someone please help resolve the discrepancy between what was written in URCH about MECS' theory focus and what is posted in MECS' current website?
