miaomiaomiao Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Checking on Twitter, I noticed there are people who have already been accepted to Berkeley today. Can anyone confirm if the results are already out or if there are going to be more than one round of responses? Aren't these agricultural econ?

yitz15 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Checking on Twitter, I noticed there are people who have already been accepted to Berkeley today. Can anyone confirm if the results are already out or if there are going to be more than one round of responses? Aren't these agricultural econ? I asked a similar question earlier (here: https://www.www.urch.com/forums/phd-economics/162094-2021-sweat-thread-post1027222.html#post1027222) but only got a reply from someone who said they posted about ARE. I also saw a post on Twitter from someone who said they got into Berkeley econ, so unless they mixed up the programs or just weren't specific, it seems that Berkeley econ as sent out at least 1 acceptance. Last year there were two waves of acceptances, so those of us who haven't heard aren't out of luck just yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackfootedpig Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Does Stanford GSB Econ & Policy interview people? I thought in past years they did not conduct interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallowedelegy Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Does Stanford GSB Econ & Policy interview people? I thought in past years they did not conduct interviews. I'm one of the people who received an interview. It was an interview with "Program Staff", meaning non-faculty administration. It appeared that it was something like a "behavioral" interview to get a sense of who you are socially. It was not like the HBS interview (or most other interviews), which included faculty. I wasn't told whether or not there would be a follow-up interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econ21 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 So at this point in time, do no emails/calls from UChicago and MIT mean IRs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econliker Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 So at this point in time, do no emails/calls from UChicago and MIT mean IRs? I'm assuming so, yes. Though it looks like Chicago hasn't released their waitlist yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yitz15 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 So at this point in time, do no emails/calls from UChicago and MIT mean IRs? From my look at last year's grad cafe posts, this seems to be the case unfortunately. Chicago called accepted and emailed waitlisted candidates on 2/10 last year but then on 2/11 there were a bunch of rejections posted. MIT was 2/14 for acceptances/waitlist via email then rejections on 2/25. So the dates are different this year, but I imagine the structure is the same. Given that information, I'm certainly treating no contact from MIT as an implicit rejection with something formal coming eventually. Edited to add that Chicago hasn't sent out waitlists yet, as econliker pointed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonomist Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Do we think that not hearing from UC Berkeley ARE is also an implicit rejection at this point? Seems like historically there are not many UCB ARE acceptance posts on GC so it's hard to tell. Last year they seemed to accept everyone in one round, but in 2019 there were two rounds.

Wahasky Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Any schools people are looking to release results tomorrow? Based off last few years I'm thinking both U of Minnesota and UC Irvine might send out some offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEconGuy10 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'm hoping for Minnesota tomorrow. Not sure if I'll get in, but it should be my first decision :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG7 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Any schools people are looking to release results tomorrow? Based off last few years I'm thinking both U of Minnesota and UC Irvine might send out some offers. I’m waiting on UC Irvine, which I expect either this week or early next week unless they’re delayed by COVID. I saw a few more acceptances come through for UMich, do we think that’s it? Seems like there should be more to come but I’m not sure if they’re shrinking their cohort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahasky Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'm hoping for Minnesota tomorrow. Not sure if I'll get in, but it should be my first decision :) Super nervous for this one. I'm aiming for a lower range of schools than a lot of people on this forum so Minnesota is one of my reach schools, not too hopeful but it would an amazing offer to get.

Last year they sent out around 22 acceptance and this year it's just been 7 till now. I am really hoping to see more from UMich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivenavy Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Can anyone verify the UMich acceptances in gradcafe? To those accepted, can you please share any info that you received? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsou Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Applied to Caltech too, but nothing yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargorn Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I have applied to caltech too but have heard nothing either. The gradcafe post seems legit, and there was another one yesterday under the header "Social sciences". I guess they send out admission yesterday? Does anyone know if they usually accept more people in second rounds, or put people on waiting list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
