stillalive Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Huge congrats! Do you mind sharing which letter does your surname start with? I wonder if they are sending out admits in alphabetical order. I am towards the end of the alphabet, so don't believe it's that. However, someone on GC in 2018 mentioned emailing the admissions office and them replying they had accidentally sent some decisions early, due to the new application portal. Maybe it could be something similar this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJS Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Has anyone heard anything from Brown? There are a couple of acceptances posted on GC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triton76 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I applied to Brown correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the system that we applied on does not reflect changes in application status. So I'm pretty sure the poster is trolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJS Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I seriously don’t get why people go to the effort to troll like that, and especially to put two separate posts up. They’re probably watching this thread and laughing I suppose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econ2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I applied to Brown correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the system that we applied on does not reflect changes in application status. So I'm pretty sure the poster is trolling. I think it potentially can reflect changes: if you click View checklist there is an Application Status info. But mine also is unchanged so far. Update: I've also had a look at the data, of Gradcafe admittances, apparently Brown did admit some applicants this early in 2017 and 2014: on 2nd Feb in 2017 (although it was just 2 entries that could have been fake) and on Feb 6-11 in 2014 (many people posted, unlikely to be fake). So it is possible that it is real Edited February 5, 2020 by econ2020 more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A third "view decision" button appears when a decision is made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naitsa Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Anyone have info on the Minnesota admits on GC? They are true as far as I can tell. A friend of mine got in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceecon Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 They are true as far as I can tell. A friend of mine got in. At this point, there are a bunch of Minnesota reports, though my portal is still listed as "submitted" with no decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenukiMario Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 At this point, there are a bunch of Minnesota reports, though my portal is still listed as "submitted" with no decision. Same. Could be IR on my end. On the other hand, looks like all Econ (i.e. not AE) acceptances have been internationals. Maybe they're doing them first? Sucks that they can't release all at once...

splashysgf Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 How can you tell that it's all international acceptances? They have a status key: A: American; U: International, with US degree; I: International, without US degree; O: Other; ?: Unknown. and all the acceptances posted on GC are "I" = international Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naitsa Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Maybe most programs send applications in waves so as to "test the waters"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenukiMario Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Maybe most programs send applications in waves so as to "test the waters"? Could be. Just seems odd that all admits are internationals. Could just be random chance, but it doesn't line up with past years. At least in 2019 and 2018, we see a bunch of admits all on the same day, and a mix of I, U, and A. Then waitlists the next day, and rejections two days later. Also I'm only talking about Minn here.

Gimmedat Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hi, did anyone who applied to Northwestern attend interviews? I did not get any invitations and I am very worried .... GC already has someone admitted to Northwestern... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigmasq Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I was wondering the same; havenÂ’t heard anything from NW. Could the gradcafe post be the managerial econ program at Kellogg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
askangbuzz Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I was wondering the same; havenÂ’t heard anything from NW. Could the gradcafe post be the managerial econ program at Kellogg? NW Econ’s app deadline is Jan 2. It’s hard to believe they are making decisions already. Kellogg might be more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
