puffskein Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Anyone know the deal with CMU Tepper interviews? I had a short one today (following up on an interest letter from them last week), and am checking gradcafe nonstop! In the same boat except that I had the interview 2-3 weeks ago and haven’t heard back since then...! My guess is that they are targeting a very small class and really slow with the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was mainly curious what the probability of getting one is conditional on an interview! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondub Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Utterly confused by what's going on this cycle - but I'm starting to make heads and tails of it. I'm still waiting to hear back from Boston University, Boston College, Northwestern, NYU, U of Texas-Austin, Columbia, Wisconsin and Michigan (lol). I wonder how many of these could be implicit wait-lists? Makes sense given that the distribution of offers is heavily weighted towards T5 candidates this year (as schools are eager not to over-offer positions). Seems like there will be much more activity in late-March/April than in previous years. Is this a hopeful take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like there will be much more activity in late-March/April than in previous years. Is this a hopeful take? I'm in a similar situation. I am yet to hear from BC, Northwestern, Wisconsin, MSU and some other schools (Cornell, Georgetown, U of Arizona, UNC, UCLA...). I'm considering Wisconsin and MSU as implicit rejections since they seem to have done some interviews after giving out their first round of offers (and in my case, Cornell and Georgetown as well because they seem to have released their waitlists) . It seems that BC gave out their first round of offers just last week, so I think we still have to wait and see if they will release their waitlist/possible second round of acceptances. I am hoping that not hearing from Northwestern is a good sign and maybe we are on to an implicit second round(of being considered for admission?) . It seems that schools are being extra careful not to accept too many students this year, given limited amount of funding and slots. Having that said, I think it is reasonable to expect a lot of movement&changes just before the April 15th deadline. If students with multiple top school offers make their decisions and decline other schools, others in the waitlist will be able to move up&there will be a chain of additional acceptances(or at least I hope so!)

cilas Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Anybody who got an offer from Minnesota willing to share the funding package + TA requirements? I would really appreciate it! My package was ~$18k stipend (but I'll be responsible for ~$1900 in fees) "Teaching duties for first-year students most often consist of leading three recitation (or discussion) sections of introductory microeconomics or macroeconomics each semester. In this case, you will meet for 50 minutes per week for 14 weeks with three separate groups of students, each of whom is also attending three lectures a week in a large lecture session." "You are also expected to attend class lectures, so that you will know what is appropriate to discuss in the recitation section, as well as help formulate, grade and proctor examinations. Your duties include grading homework assignments and exams, however, you may receive some help from graders. In future years, you may be offered a chance to teach courses independently. These instructor positions pay more per hour based on class size." ~20hrs/week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia doing interviews is even new, so that slows down the process too. I expect there to be lots of movement in late March and early April too.

cp9290 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Anyone know what’s going on with the University of Washington? Only a few GC results and they seem to be for WUSTL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlgoa2 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Anyone know what’s going on with the University of Washington? Only a few GC results and they seem to be for WUSTL From my limited understanding, they've sent out emails to gauge applicants' interest in the program before making official offers. I received one myself before the bunch of rejections went up on GC. No info on cohort sizes or waitlists though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahasky Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 What schools are yall still waiting on first round decisions from? I think UNC is the only one on my list still to come, I think there's 1 or 2 acceptances on GC but I'd think there'll be a few more. Waiting on Pittsburgh as well after an interview. Getting very close to the end though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting very close to the end though! I'm still waiting on 8!!! 4 I can safely assume are IR, then UNC, UCSB, USC, Colorado-Boulder. I saw some UCSB yesterday but I'm not sure if they're done.

I am also waiting to be confirmed rejection from MSU, Wisconsin and Cornell.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binary Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Still haven't heard from UCSD, NYU Stern, or UC Davis. Should I be assuming IR? I emailed all programs last Monday and haven't heard back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuanJuDe Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 So is everyone who had not received anything prior to today from Northwestern getting waitlist? I cannot imagine how large the waitlist is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonomist Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 So is everyone who had not received anything prior to today from Northwestern getting waitlist? I cannot imagine how large the waitlist is... Judging from the e-mail I would say it's either a larger than normal waitlist, or they have reason to believe the number of admits from the waitlist will be small.

monster007 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Any news from QMUL? I know that people here usually do not apply there, but just in case someone applied and had news. I am kind of super anxious about it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree and it is not very promising... At least a number of my friends are on the WL and it would be brutal. I didn't get a waitlist notification and I haven't heard anything from NW, so probably not And I'm sorry, hope you have better offers than this and good luck...
