TheEconGuy10 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 This has been a surprisingly quiet week for me. Was expecting 4/5 decisions and just got one. Anyone else on the same boat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econhappy Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 This has been a surprisingly quiet week for me. Was expecting 4/5 decisions and just got one. Anyone else on the same boat? Yep. I got three decisions first week, and none at all this week. Surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahasky Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 This has been a surprisingly quiet week for me. Was expecting 4/5 decisions and just got one. Anyone else on the same boat? Same. I'm thinking next week will be relatively busy and by end of week we might see decisions from UNC, Vanderbilt, Pittsburgh, and interview invites from Rice. Based on numbers of gradcafe acceptances and last year's patterns I still think Minnesota may be sending out more decisions, and they haven't sent waitlists yet either (I don't think I'll receive an offer but holding out hope for a waitlist). There are many others of course that's just for the schools I have on my radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealslimkt Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 What do people mean by "expecting" decisions in this week? Is there some information about when results are released before they actually happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEconGuy10 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Previous years' decisions and when they were posted on Grad Cafe. I looked up the schools I applied to as far back as 2017 to get a better idea of when they come out :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puffskein Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Any ideas what's going on with Chicago? Saw a bunch of offers/rej on GC but still haven't heard back... I am not expecting to get in but still want to hear back ;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not expecting to get in but still want to hear back ;( I believe they will send official rejection in the coming days. The rejections so far are all "sorry no phd but do you like masters?"

TheDeadFlagBlue Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Tfw: you expect to be rejected by UC-Davis when you were targeting Berkeley. Maybe I would be delusional to do that even in a normal year but this stinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econra Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Any clue about Minnesota (just Econ)? They have rejections coming out now, but they have barely sent out any acceptances.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeadFlagBlue Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Any clue about Minnesota (just Econ)? They have rejections coming out now, but they have barely sent out any acceptances.. I am not paying too much attention to Minnesota because I did not apply there but I would not be shocked if they are done with acceptances, given that the last batch seems to be mostly unfunded (?). I guess that is an (cruel) alternative to WL? Wonder what others think. I am concerned that the pile of GC acceptances might be thin if acceptances tank a bit and that some schools might be done already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahasky Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 What do people mean by "expecting" decisions in this week? Is there some information about when results are released before they actually happen? Yeah "expect" has to be understood loosely. You can look up on gradcafe like TheEconGuy10 said, also another user posted a while back about their shiny app that scraped gradcafe data, he didn't want it linked but if you google "shiny app gradcafe" it will come up first result. Easy way to look at when schools released decisions/rejections last year. Only a rough guide of course things change year to year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffskein Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I got the rejection from Minnesota. It's not a good fit for me since I barely know any macro. Feel like it's a bad idea to apply in the first place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

econliker Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I really don't know why they are incapable of sending out all the rejections at once. Like they shouldn't have to go manually through the alphabet like they seemingly are.

I am not expecting to get in but still want to hear back ;( FWIW Chicago has sent out the offer letters from the department, but from folks I know who got in, the official admissions portal update or whatever hasn’t come through yet.

stressedcookie Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Do you think another batch of answers will come tomorrow? There seems to be some calendar effect of Fridays on sending decisions. Also last year many schools sent replies around mid-February and this year some have sent results even earlier. Maybe I’m just very anxious but I’m kinda hoping to get more results tomorrow instead of waiting another week 😣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m just very anxious but I’m kinda hoping to get more results tomorrow instead of waiting another week I'm sure we're all hoping. Irvine came out last Friday afternoon... none of my schools have released decisions this week (except Minnesota? Sort of? I didn't hear anything) so it'd be a nice way to end the week to get clarity on at least one or two more programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yudi Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Does anyone have any information about the size of Zurich GSE's cohort for this year? Only a few acceptances on GC this time. Hopefully they'll send out more. 🤞🏿 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyTwombly Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Can anyone confirm UCSD? It seems exceptionally early for them, but they released their first decisions at an odd hour last year as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeadFlagBlue Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 It seems to be real. I guess I have to hope that I am on WL for UCSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flotus1 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 It seems to be real. I guess I have to hope that I am on WL for UCSD. Even if they are real I think they are just accepting in waves. But I still can not believe they sent acceptances during the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyb Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Can confirm the UCSD acceptances are real (I am one of the GC posters from early this morning). Email to check the portal came through at ~midnight PST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
