hjkim90 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Oh, Thanks for the Michigan Ross update :'(. Also, is there any info on Duke, Cornell, Booth or Purdue University. My friend received an admission from Booth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarxGrindelwald Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 My friend received an admission from Booth Booth has only sent out the admissions for the Finance + Economics Ph.D. They have not released their general admits for pure finance Ph.D.s.

Davidxugg Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Booth has only sent out the admissions for the Finance + Economics Ph.D. They have not released their general admits for pure finance Ph.D.s. I applied to their Finance program, but chose "yes" for consideration of their joint finance+econ PhD program. I got rejection email two days ago.

pippen1234 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 How acceptable is it to email programs asking for updates on their admissions process(basically just to see if they have already thrown out my application)? Is it considered rude? I only ask because I am only waiting on one more school(my top choice), but I know it is a long shot for me to get in and I would like to know where I'm going to be next year ASAP for planning purposes.

Dickgrayson Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Same dilemma here, I feel, you could contact them if you have seen interviews on gradcafe. Add that implicitly means a reject, and they will be able to convey the same. However for colleges with no gradcafe results, better to wait till March first week.

Yongsan Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 First timer here on Urch- Thus far my results have been Rochester - Rejected HEC Paris - Rejected OSU - Interviewed and Waitlisted Oregon - Interviewed and Waitlisted UF - Interviewed and Waiting Tilburg - Interviewed and Waiting Rice - Scheduled Interview Delaware - Scheduled Interview Bocconi - Accepted with Fellowship Waiting to hear back from many other programs, though some I have a feeling I'm out of the running for positive news based on gradcafe results. I was personally wondering if anybody could shed some more light on the overall reputation of Bocconi University's PhD in Finance program; hope my input helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you will get into your dream school. I applied to Fisher OSU but haven't heard anything, and with you (and certainly others) waitlisted I'm sure I must be out. Just wonder why they haven't sent rejection emails (the application status is still pending?). Would you mind sharing your profile via inbox? And by any chance if anyone has heard from Tinbergen Institute, please let me know. The info will probably help end my waiting for this application season. Thanks a lot!

finboy Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Looking at gradcafe results, it seems like Chicago and Yale make offers to "at least" a few candidates for finance Phd without an interview. Can someone please confirm this and it will be even better if someone can explain the rationale behind this. Because it seems very strange to me. Why will Chicago/Yale make a 4-5 year commitment on someone without first interviewing them for 20 minutes?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how you can really get this from the gradcafe stuff from this year, but I didn't look around too much. Anyway, econ departments do this all the time, so it isn't that far fetched. I have also seen research that interviews actually make decision making worse in hiring situations. I think that could apply here as well.

For all the other major programs, I see every year few interviews, but for Yale and Chicago I have seen many years no interviews. I was just hoping that someone who is at Chicago/Yale can confirm this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just hoping that someone who is at Chicago/Yale can confirm this. I'm usually a lurker, but I can be helpful with this. I got into both Chicago finance and Yale finance, and can indeed confirm that neither interviewed me. (UCLA also did not interview me before admitting me) Those 3 schools are the only ones that did not interview of the 8 or so I applied to.

amirkhan Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hello Urchers, I am new to the forum but I would really appreciate your help. I have an offer from a university in Europe and I have to give them an answer in two weeks. It is a great school with very good placements however it is not my dream school and dream offer. I am still waiting for some interview results and waitlisted in some better ranked schools as well. There are also some schools which haven't even started the interview process yet. I am planning to ask for an extension. Is it wise to accept the offer initially and change mind if I get into a better school? What can be the consequences of doing that? I may need to pay some penalty fee but either than that, what else? Does it make me have a bad reputation in academic world? I need serious advice, thanks!
