I have recently received my fall grades after submitting all the applications. Unfortunately, I got a B+ for the PhD Microeconomics class. My other grades are fine ( three As in other economics class and an A- in a math class). I have sent the fall grades to some schools which request them but not to some schools which say it is optional. Should I send the grades? I heard that it is a bad signal if I have a B+ for the graduate class but I feel like not sending the grades is also a bad signal. The fact that my other grades are not bad also makes me want to send the grades. Thank you so much for your advice and good luck to everyone who is applying this cycle.

Hi everyone, I recently accepted an offer, thinking it would be my best one, so that I could start the Visa process ASAP. However, I’ve recently received an offer from another two schools, both with better funding and one with better research alignment. The offer I accepted was online and through the university’s portal, and also via an email confirmation to the recruiting professors (BTW these are all US unis) and for a finance PhD. I have not yet filled out any i20 forms. If I were to decline the accepted offer now, would it look really bad on me? I have heard universities aren’t able to provide further admissions once they’ve made an offer out that’s been accepted (e.g., if there are 4 slots and one person accepts and declines, they may only take 3 students for that year). Is this true, even in the case I rescind my acceptance well before April the 15th (I.e., within the next week or two)?. Would it potentially give me a really bad name in a few academic circles, and ruin any chances of ever working at that university later on? Thanks for your time.

Hello, I was wondering what exactly is the consensus in terms of declining an offer after accepting, if it is still early on in the process? For instance, I accepted an offer last week so that I could promptly begin with the visa process, and 3 days letter received an unexpected interview from a school that I didn't think I had a shot at. The funding in my first offer is also on the lower end compared to this other school. I have heard it's bad to accept and then decline, as that school is no longer able to extend offers furthermore to other students. Is this true? Or is that only if you accept and decline after April the 15th? Whilst I am happy to attend my current school, if given an unrestricted choice, I would 100% go with the other school as it is a better research fit and higher funding. Is there likely to be any lasting consequences? For the first school, I have talked extensively to the faculty, and they have been very warm and welcoming. Would this completely tatter the relationship and give me a bad name in the circle?

Hey guys, here is my situation and I am looking for an appropriate way to deal with it . I got an invitation to a campus visit two weeks ago and I accepted the invite. Last week I got an offer from one of my very target school and a very ideal contract from them. I have not yet signed the legal document, but the chance that I am signing it is 99%. In this case, I feel bad no matter what I decide on the campus visit. If I still go, I feel like I am wasting their budget and time. If I cancel the trip, I feel bad as I had expressed my great enthusiasm about visiting them. What will be the most proper way of dealing with this?

None is extraordinarily well known, but they were encouraging about graduate school. Goals: Masters in Economics on the way to a PhD. As you can tell, I have had very mixed results, some semesters I got 3.75 others 2.5. I've had a lot of money difficulties throughout undergrad. There were times that I would be working 40 hours a week to pay for school, so I would quit working so much and not have enough money for books. All of this is no one elses fault, I should have taken out loans so that I could excel in school. Should I try to convey some of this to explain my spotty grades? My economics grades had an ascending trend, but my math grades were pretty mixed throughout. MA Programs: SDSU, UNCG, UNCC, UC-Denver, Delaware, CUNY What do you think my chances are of getting into these? Are these schools good preparation for a PhD? What other schools would you recommend? Also, is it worth it try for a USC or BU MA?
