luismf08 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Let's wait to see if UC Berkeley decision posted on GC is a troll as it seems to be the one about Harvard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJS Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Sorry forgot to quote - I wonder if the Chicago post on GC was removed for spam? Yes it looks like it, it was the only one so probably a troll. Last year they did start giving out offers from the end of January though so I'm guessing it shouldn't be too long to wait for Chicago. I really want to start hearing back one way or the other now, the suspense is killing me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenukiMario Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Let's wait to see if UC Berkeley decision posted on GC is a troll as it seems to be the one about Harvard. New post on GC seems to confirm but could just be a similar troll I guess. Nobody on Urch can confirm? :sorrow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finalfour2029 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Admissions Timeline | Department of Economics This timeline suggests that decisions are usually out on March 1-15 and I think this has been quite consistent last years.

zapodos Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 So one of my school's has an acceptance on grad cafe..I'm yet to hear anything.. Should I start expecting the rejection letter then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenukiMario Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Admissions Timeline | Department of Economics This timeline suggests that decisions are usually out on March 1-15 and I think this has been quite consistent last years. Good call - you're right these match up well (seems like March 9th was about the earliest last year). I bet these current posts are trolls. Or could be a couple of people getting in really early (like the Stanford thing). There is still plenty of hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
askangbuzz Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Chicago troll cannot be more obvious lol. “ quant sociology from HYP ( p not equal to penn) , area is linear regression method in behavioral economics”... but I anxiously checked my inbox and application portal nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimmedat Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I don't understand why some people do troll on grad cafe. What's the point especially if the results are anonymous? Are those guy totally desperate of their lives? Really need those anonymous false results to satisfy their ego smh? Boring and pathetic. The Chicago one really is disrupting. Anyway Good luck to everyone else in their applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenukiMario Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 UC Berkeley third post at GC. Anyone heard something from them? That was my highest bet and I would like to know if its an implicit rejection Could still be trolls? GC doesn't have any way of screening, I think. I guess you can "report spam" but IDK how they verify that. Someone also posted results for the Ag Econ program (ARE), so could also be ARE people entering things wrong?

stillalive Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I was one of the Berkeley posters on GC. I received an email notice there was an update to my application, clicked the link, and had a letter of admission from the Vice Provost of Graduate Studies. It seemed to be a school-wide form letter, and said the department would follow up later with details on funding. The acceptance appeared to me a little unusual, as the update came around 7-ish PST, well after business hours, with no separate acknowledgment from the department or faculty (which to my knowledge is standard). You guys are correct that last year, most UCs released decisions uniformly around March 8th. Given the low number of posts on GC, (especially relative to the number who posted their acceptances to Stanford, of which I would assume there would be overlap) my intuition is that either this is a mistake, or they might be admitting in batches. At any rate, I would definitely not take the lack of an update to be an implicit rejection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutonic Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 To those with acceptances, remember to post on the stickied Admissions & Rejections post. It'll go a long way to keep this culture alive for the following years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they are sending out admits in alphabetical order. Edited February 5, 2020 by econ2020 forgot to add quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandercroc Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Has anyone heard anything back from University of Arizona? There are some applicants who uploaded their admission to the university on gradcafe but I haven't gotten any emails. I was one of the posters on GC. Maybe it's just early round.

epsilon0 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Received an offer from Berkeley Agricultural and Resource Economics (ARE) yesterday (already posted on GC)! Fully funded and nominated for fellowship. It seems most offers may come next week as they said next week there will be a follow-up email from the first year students advisor. Campus visit for ARE is March 20 (Fri). Good luck, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
