BostonFarmer Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 thats what i guessed All HBS interviews went out last/this week. Source: am also Cambridge insider with friends across the river folks, HBS bus-ec admits the top admits to Harvard Econ. Even conditional on getting an offer from Harvard Econ, it’s more than likely to not get an interview from HBS. There is roughly no information in not getting an interview from HBS.

When you say all HBS interviews went out, is that only for economics? Or for all tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point - I was taking to a current bus-ec student, who didn’t specify. Other programs may well be pending, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger gold Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 There is a Tinbergen rejection in GC. Today marks the 8th week since the deadline. Can we expect results in the coming days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshan Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 @ginger gold Yes, we can expect until Tuesday, given 26th is when it marks 56 days precisely from the deadline. The wait is excruciating.

econliker Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Now Northwestern sent "rejection" mails...(check GC) Last year, NW sent "acceptance" mail in the mid February. Why so many changes? That's Northeastern not Northwestern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger gold Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Lots of PSU rejections in GC. No acceptances. This is a strange year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econliker Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Some people with seemingly very strong profiles (according to GC) got rejected. Very strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEconGuy10 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I've read before that schools reject strong profiles since they think will probably get offers from better-ranked schools, so I wouldn't read too much into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftrob95 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 It's really difficult for me to judge how difficult a year this is going to be wrt acceptances. On the one hand, I'm seeing a lot of highly qualified posts of people getting rejected from (good) mid-tier programs. On the other, I got a first round acceptance to a program that, judging by my credentials, I thought was a huge reach. Maybe this is an artefact of the phenomenon that TheEconGuy10 is describing. I honestly have no idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger gold Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Too early to get any idea about this admission year. But doesn't acceptances go first before rejections go? That was the trend in PSU in the previous years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshan Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Rejected from TI here as well. I had applied to 17 PhD Finance programs and TI. Was counting on 3 shortlists, one of them is gone. I guess I have rejections lined up owing to my poor grades in freshman and sophomore years in Physics. Have a decent profile thereafter, but the first poor impression seems unbridgeable.

Too early to tell how this cycle is going to go. There's a lot of randomness and noise in admissions, and you can get rejected from an "easier" school and get into a "harder" one. There's lots of reasons this year might be harder, but also some reasons why at the end of it all it might be fairly similar to prior years. Schools are dealing with a lot of uncertainty as well, and we won't know until we actually get into the hear of admissions, which won't be for a few more weeks.

flynnigan9 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hey all, When I was waiting to hear back from schools in spring 2018 I made an R-shiny app using gradcafe data from the prior year to track when schools sent out decisions and what their admissions strategy was (all at once, staggered, first round and waitlist, etc.). I went ahead and updated my code to track the 2020 cycle. I'm not sure how representative 2020 will be since this will probably be a crazy cycle, but you may still find it helpful. Since we're not supposed to spam the thread with url's, you can access it via the homepage in my profile. Good luck to everyone applying this year. It can be a brutal process, but remember all you need is one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

econra Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 According to gradcafe, some international students have got interview calls from Michigan State. Do they ever take in international students without interview? If I don't get an interview call, does it mean IR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
