greg3 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Ah, I didn't apply to OSU... just itching for results to start rolling in haha Haha that's a whole new level of applications anxiety :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max15 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I keep checking the application status page of OSU. I have seen that they usually publish the first admissions in Tuesday or Thursday (yes, I have checked that haha). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kazooie Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 its just one guy. seems pretty odd Yeah, only one person posting especially this early seems suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPgun123 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 its just one guy. seems pretty odd Yes, it is exceptionally too early. I just checked how it was last year and UCSD usually starts around 2nd week of February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econ4043 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Is the UDSD posting on GC true? Can anyone confirm it? It seems trolling though :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazooie Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Is the UDSD posting on GC true? Can anyone confirm it? It seems trolling though :( My UCSD application still says "Under Review". Also, that there's only one posting says to me that even if it is real it's probably idiosyncratic and most acceptances have not yet been sent out.

advancestead Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi guys I'm the person from GC for UCSD, I just saw they deleted the followup posts on there about it so I made an acc to post here. Btw I need to say I've rewritten this 3 times bc the forum keeps forbidding me to post it haha. Anyway, I am also very surprised that it is so early! I really wish someone else could also confirm so that I don't feel like this is a practical joke. But yes, I got an email from gradadmissions at midnight california time (not from econ dept.. I don't know if this is standard?) and there is no word on funding but I suspect it is still too early for that, I may call them later to ask if they don't send a followup email soon. And on my application it says Provisionally Admitted to PhD Econ with a signed pdf admission letter downloadable as well. Anyway, good luck to everyone and clearly they are doing it in batches so no worries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max15 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Congratulations advancestead! Maybe you are going to be nominated for an University fellowship? Anyway, you must be happy to hear good news so soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advancestead Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Thank you!! It's very relieving :) It's been difficult to forecast my admissions chances without feeling that I am being overoptimistic (difficult math course load and good letters from solid undergrad school vs. slightly lower-end gpa) so it's a welcome surprise. I applied broadly to top 15 so hopefully more good things to follow but UCSD is a great option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterDubro Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Former San Diego resident here. Can confirm San Diego is amazing. I know location isn’t supposed to factor into our decision but we’re humans with preferences....can’t beat a beach front school that has perfect weather year round. Best of luck getting into your other choices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurrealAnalysis Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Just submitted my last application. I applied to 10 places, mostly in Europe, and a few in the US. The die is cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whale Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Oh jeez. I jumped in my seat when I saw there were 3 entries for UCSD on gradcafe, but it was just 3 people talking about how they haven't received anything :miserable: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeye Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Anyone heard from Purdue Agricultural economics? I remember their deadline is Feb 15th but got an email to check website - rejected. I'm the one posted in gradcafe. I'm really not sure why I was denied this early, even before the application deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubrus Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Perhaps a preliminary removal of applicants based on the GRE, GPA, undergrad institution or unfamiliarity of letter writers. Could be a clerical error. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taus2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Perhaps a preliminary removal of applicants based on the GRE, GPA, undergrad institution or unfamiliarity of letter writers. Could be a clerical error. Who knows. "Unfamiliarity of letter writers" - is this a big issue? Because most international applicants would have referees who may not be well-known ...

appliedfor2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I saw the posts in GC that someone who received the interview request from UCSC but I didn't receive any from UCSC...Is it implied that the prob. to get an admission is lower than those guys who got the interview? UCSC is one of my priority school as I am interested in int'l finance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EconProf93 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Got an email for an interview with UC Santa Cruz! Anybody know what to expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appliedfor2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Could you tell me details of the email? I feel bad that I didn't get an email from UCSC :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EconProf93 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It says: Hi, my name is Jon Robinson and I'm the Ph.D. director at the UC Santa Cruz department of economics. The Ph.D. admissions committee read over your file and was very impressed with your credentials. As part of our admissions screening, we conduct Skype video interviews with all admitted students, and we would like to conduct a 25 minute interview with you. The interview would be for us to learn a bit more about you, and also to answer questions you might have. Don't feel bad! I don't think getting an interview is a necessary condition for admissions. Just wait and see, since if the schedule on grad cafe is similar to last year, UCSC should send out info within the next 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
