Decision: Waitlist

Funding: N/A

Notification date: 4/15/14

Comments: I got notified by email that I am on the "short waitlist", and I received a missed call from a Tennessee number at around the same time. They wanted to know if I was still interested in an offer, but I declined because I have already accepted another offer.

Comments: I got rejected by NYU 3 weeks back. Then yesterday I get an email saying, "Based on an evaluation by the Dean’s office of your recent application to New York University’s Graduate School of Arts and Science, we invite you to apply to the John W. Draper Interdisciplinary Master’s Program in Humanities and Social Thought." I think this might be their way of hinting that I am not cut out for an Econs PhD :P

Comments: My Msc school so was pretty sure to get accepted. I accepted the offer in case I dont get any other offers and I needed to accept their offer to be eligible for funding. Will probably get the funding but no living expenses: UK is expensive yo ! My thesis advisor is a great guy and I really wanted to work with him. My only concern was I had to commit to solely focus on evolutionary game theory and I am not sure yet what to specialize in...

Comments: WTF ! I was not expecting to get an offer. Especially after Berlin rejection. I applied here because I saw someone one the forum who got rejected from many places and then got into Mannheim. So I said why the hell not. 2 years ago I applied for their masters and didnt make it, went to Nottingham Msc instead. So now trying to get in to their PhD was just a slim shot but hell I made it... And they give me funding... Happy
