Oh i see! Congratulations! What is your field of interest and who interviewed you?

Has anyone heard from jhu after the interview? There are 2 acceptance posts on grafcafe!

Well, I guess it is an IR for me then! 😞

can anyone confirm BU acceptance on GC? Haven't heard anything yet

Haven’t heard yet. Kind of weird they are sending few rejections everyday throughout this week.

Did anyone have interview with JHU? Do they usually interview all the shortlisted candidates?

Don’t worry bro! Things will be alright! I haven’t got a single acceptance yet! 0a/6r/7ir/4p for me. 😛 But yeah forcing myself to take things lightly. Let’s see! If things totally go wrong, there is always next time or other options.

Thanks everyone for your support. Best of luck to you guys. The most frustrating thing about applying from a developing country is the fact that there is nothing you can do to improve your profile anymore. Like i can publish 1 or 2 mediocre papers but that is not going to be equivalent to pre-docs and it should not tbh. Actually everyone does not get the opportunity to do pre-docs in usa/uk from another country, specially from the developing ones. The frustration starts from there- you did everything you could in your capacity, still you are not competitive enough. So yeah- nothing to do at this moment- just have to wait and see how things turn out in the next 7-8 weeks.

I applied to 15 programs! 12 in the USA and 3 in the UK. The 12 programs in the US are distributed like this- 3 in the top 10, 3 between 10-20, 2 between 20-30 and 4 between 30-60. So far I have got 1R and 4IRs (including my safeties). I am assuming rejections from 2 of the rest top 10s. Which means rejections/implicit rejections from 6/7 already. This is quite frustrating and feels like i should stop trying for academia/research and look for other jobs! 😞

Well I thought interviews do not take place like this. Like first priority, second priority and so on. But yeah let's see. Seems like Minnesota econ is out too. I guess 4 implicit rejections already. Tough times

Which unis can we expect this week?

About Notre dame interview: I don’t think the subtext is correct! They may have sent interview invitations based on field of interest/submisison date/ alphabetical order! but then again, given how things are going, it is better to be pessimistic! 😞

Has anyone got email from notre dame? Wondering whether not getting an email by now means an implicit rejection! 😭

Anyone applied to LSE MRes/PhD Finance?

Did anyone receive interview email from emory? There is a post on gradcafe! Thought emory was my safety
