Utterly confused by what's going on this cycle - but I'm starting to make heads and tails of it. I'm still waiting to hear back from Boston University, Boston College, Northwestern, NYU, U of Texas-Austin, Columbia, Wisconsin and Michigan (lol). I wonder how many of these could be implicit wait-lists? Makes sense given that the distribution of offers is heavily weighted towards T5 candidates this year (as schools are eager not to over-offer positions). Seems like there will be much more activity in late-March/April than in previous years. Is this a hopeful take?
-
OK looks like Wisconsin Boston University and NYU sent today - not a good sign for me. I'll see some of y'all again next year. Congratulations to everyone admitted!
-
Also waiting on Northwestern, missed that one earlier. Interesting about Wisconsin - is this speculation based on grad cafe posts? Or is there another reason? Currently treating this as an implicit rejection .
-
Also USC, UCLA, and NYU. Possibly a few waitlists from schools which released last week. Will be a quieter week (for me at least) before decisions from Boston College, Boston University and Texas next week.
-
Funnily enough between when I posted this and now I received a letter - rejection with referral to MAPSS (which I assume everyone received). Be careful what you wish for, I suppose.
-
Thanks for this and everyone's support. I find it odd how I have 10+ implicit rejections and haven't heard from Chicago Michigan etc. when they have sent out rejections (seemingly). Hopefully its a sign of being waitlisted? Or something.
-
4 implicit rejections in one day .... this is getting pretty rough. Currently 0a/8ir/2r/8p. Might be seeing this forum next year.
-
I'll add to that list Columbia and Northwestern. Should be a big week, though its tough to judge - Yale and Chicago sent out earlier than usual but most other schools seem delayed.
-
Who are we expecting to hear back from by the end of the week? I'd guess the remainder of Duke, Princeton, Harvard, possibly Wisconsin-Madison as well? Any other suggestions?
-
Judging by previous year's UMD will be late February and UT Austin will be late February/early March. Edit: I read UMD as UWM for some reason. Edited to update.
-
Thanks for that response! Don't know about sitting back and relaxing haha. Did you also apply to this program?
-
Looks like UofM has completed their admissions for the econ phd. I applied to the public policy & econ joint PhD - does anyone know if this is treated differently? Based on previous years' results from Grad Cafe these applicants received acceptances/rejections a little later in the cycle so I'm inclined to think that it is.
-
I'm sorry to hear that! I didn't apply for Penn State as they're notorious for emphasising mathematics grades and background. So its possible that you're a competitive applicant for higher ranked schools that are a little more open in their criteria. Hopefully that helps and good luck!
-
Yeah struggling here as well. I'm yet to get an offer and am stressing out quite a bit. Struggling to keep my mind off of admissions decisions. One technique that's helping me is to only check emails once a day - this has restored some of my sanity but it takes quite a bit of self-control.

Anyone have an update on Michigan? I've seen two rounds on GC of acceptances, but only a few acceptances in each round. Can anyone shed some light on this?
