bigdawg

this man jjthejet stays accepted. putting up mj numbers this grad season

I don't think anyone has big dawg

Can anyone confirm Cornell?

Since a lot of the big dawgs released their results last week, I wanna remind everyone about an old saying one of my letter writers told me: 'If they aren't in contention, don't keep them in suspension!' A slow day is a good day to decline some offers....

Look at the GPAs on the acceptances. Seems lower than the website recommendations so I am hesitant

Can confirm. Email came a bit after first GC post

March 2-3. However I wouldn't look at it like that, the deadline for deciding to attend was pretty far back (before most decisions came out) and I've seen multiple people say they were going to turn down TAMU no matter what after receiving dominating offers.

In person interviews for domestic students were sent out in January. Haven't heard anything for international students

Can anyone confirm Berkeley?

Would very strongly recommend just holding as there are multiple people in your shoes. Emailing is usually for more of a 'hey I'm the only one left' type of situation.

My favorite part of this site is getting pre-release warnings from admission site easter eggs

Yeah me too. Though I will say this grad season has provided a very strong incentive to unsubscribe from all promotional email lists because of the undeserved adrenaline rush caused by every new email. February has been a long year.

Somewhat terrifying to read lol. What does an Econ phd look like in 20 years? I wonder at what point does the average age of a new assistant professor hit 40. Anyone know the matriculation rate at Duke / how many offers they handed out last year?

My understanding is based off grad cafe from last year, over the next 10 days we should be hearing from just about everyone?

Can confirm Georgetown, came in an email

Came through email, standard rejection letter. Good luck to everyone else!

What schools are we expecting this week?

Anyone confirm Stanford on GC?

Nah you could have all day, I spent 5 hours of near panic when PSU sent out letters and got one in the late afternoon

I think they sent a ton of waitlists this year, though it also seems like they don't let out acceptances in batches, wish there were more data on the acceptance rate of waitlisted candidates

I know people have mentioned some schools taking longer than usual, but based on the releases people received yesterday (Michigan State, Emory, Georgetown, Minnesota, Zurich, Wisconsin (day before yesterday)), would it be reasonable to conclude schools are tending towards releasing earlier than last year? (Other than UC schools)

I think this is school dependent. I usually check GC from the previous year(s) and look for a 'had no email checked portal.' comment

Can anyone confirm the Minnesota acceptance?

Ya know, I used to post all my details on grad cafe (gpa, test scores, international, etc.), but now I'm wondering if anyone knows if admission committees look at that? I feel like it's specific enough to identify candidates

In the same boat, from GC last year it looks like they do it in rounds though!
