greg3 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Any news from Chicago? I think it's quite pointless to expect it to come in the next couple of days. Chicago usually replies mid/late February - well, last year was exceptional, but perhaps that was an isolated case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeye Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Anyone heard from UC Davis Ag econ? There is a post on gradcafe that he/she got the admission in early January. I did not make the first round of any ag/applied econ programs that I've applied. sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whale Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Did you see the post about UPenn in gradcafe? Yeah... I haven't received anything :( But I was looking through a few past years' sweat threads and it looks like it is pretty common for fake posts to appear on Gradcafe around this time from early-mid Feb.

lindseybuck95 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Is there a good way to tell if a post is fake on gradcafe? Also, what does it mean when people post exclamation points in their notes sections? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adeline Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 It's possible that someone received an informal acceptance email from a faculty I guess, but I wouldn't sweat it until you see multiple popping up at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whale Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Is there a good way to tell if a post is fake on gradcafe? Also, what does it mean when people post exclamation points in their notes sections? Thanks! It's likely to be fake if the timing is reeeally different from past years. And for large programs especially it's pretty likely to be fake if it is there is only one. Exclamation marks means they are excited lol.

lindseybuck95 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Haha, that is what I thought! But, I wasn't sure if it was just spam because people weren't writing anything. Thanks for clarifying! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPgun123 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Any people applied for Brown? I think their results will be up soon. I have a little concern. I just checked my status, and it still says "Material Awaiting" in TOEFL\IELTS part. However, as I graduated from an US institution, it should be exempt. I sent three emails so far for this the woman be contacted in the economics websites, but she ignored all the emails and I have not got any reply from Brown for this issue. Is this okay?!.. or I must take actions or it is too late? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterDubro Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Where are you seeing this? Are you looking at the collegeNET website? Mine just says “submitted” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPgun123 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Where are you seeing this? Are you looking at the collegeNET website? Mine just says “submitted” Click the "View checklist" I wonder this is normal or I should have took further action to waive the English requirement..

I doubt anyone reviewing the applications would have an issue with your lack of TOEFL/IELTS scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn128 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 The Brown Econ department didn't reply me as well. For the TOEFL exemption, I contacted the graduate school and got the waiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macrojunky Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Too many trolls on GC. Unless, there are many posts for a particular university, I would not bother much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econ20162 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Oh congrats man! If you don't mind sharing - did you get a personalized email from the department or checked the website for the offer? also when did you submit the application? I am just wondering why I didn't make the first cut, whether it was because I submitted my application right on the deadline or because my application was not strong enough for the first cut haha Hey, I received a personalized email from the department, and received an official email from graduate school around a week later. I submitted the application on January 2nd if I remember correctly. I hope you get your decision soon ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
