Good day!
-
I was notified of a waitlist very close to 4/15 this year. I responded by thanking them, reiterating my strong interest, and asking if they had any idea of if/when they might send out more offers. They said they didn't know. I would think that most of the movement would have occurred on the first day or two after 4/15, but I'm being optimistic. Historically speaking, do I have any chance, or is it an implicit reject at this point?

Is it a very formal event?

I already know which school I'm going to go to with 100% certainty, but wondered if it looks bad to accept before the visit day. I don't want it to look like I made a cavalier decision or that I didn't receive any other offers. Thoughts? Thanks!

So I just got an email from one school that said the Econ department will recommend to the Graduate School that you be admitted to our PhD program. It also mentions a visitation day that I have to rsvp by Friday. I have two questions: 1. What does it mean to be recommended to be admitted? Is this essentially saying that I have admitted? 2. I am working several hours from the nearest large airport and about 12.5 hours from the school. I also have very limited PTO, so I don’t think I am really able to visit (this is the first response of 19 programs). How much does this hurt my admissions/funding prospects if I explain my situation to them? How often to full time professionals skip these events and how understanding are these schools? I was thinking of asking to speak with the professor who reached out via phone - how would that be taken?

Just curious. I'm on some HRM waitlists myself, but there doesn't seem to have been much movement on Gradcafe. Is today the big day usually?

Yale undergrad here. The only beef I have with Princeton is its messy Visit Day which didn't leave good impression on me because I didn't have time for one-on-one faculty meetings and its up-and-down placements. Meanwhile NYU and Yale fare better in terms of placement. Not sure about my interests yet. Probably not Macro theory or Metrics (but might be applied metrics or macro labor/development etc.) Talked to some real nice Yale profs during Visit Day. Would it help career-wise to expand my network outside of Yale?

Hi Everyone, Just curious to see who is attending the UC Santa Cruz visit day this week!

Visit days are coming up soon, so I thought it would be useful to make a thread for visit day recommendations, especially for those of us who are undecided. Post questions to ask, people to speak with, things to see and do, etc, to make the most of a visit day.

Hi there! I've recently been waitlisted for a PhD in economics at one of the unis in the US. They've just sent me an invitation to a visitation day in March, for which they provide accommodation, travel reimbursement etc. Do you think it's a standard things for people on a waitlist? Or is it safe to assume thay their waitlist is rather small if they are offering it? Thanks for your answers!

Hi everyone. I got accepted to one of my top choices, and they've invited me to visit campus as part of their admitted students day. Unfortunately, the date is a pretty difficult conflict with a work deadline, so it's going to be really tough for me to make it. Do you think it's essential that I come on the admitted students day?

Anyone has any idea what I should do when two of my top schools have visit day on the same day? Unfortunately, it is not the admit day after the final admission, but almost like an on-site interview which follows after Skype interviews. Both schools mentioned in their email that the final decision will be made after the visit day. Would this mean that I have to choose one of two schools? ;( Should I ask one school to reschedule the visit day? If anyone has a good idea of what I can do, please let me know!
