Econenthuse Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 9 hours ago, ScottA said: I'm also on the waitlist in this program, and they didn't tell me my position on the waitlist. (I didn't ask them either.) I'm not sure about the chance of getting off the waitlist there, and I was also wondering how competitive the applied econ admissions are. It seems that the admissions of econ-related programs have become harder and harder these years. Anyway, I hope you can get admitted there. Thank you ScottA! I received my last explicit rejection last night and the remaining two are IR, so I am really hoping I get off the waitlist. I also hope you get the better offer you’re hoping for 🙏🏾 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTI Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Are there people who haven't heard back from Cornell Dyson? I know not being interviewed is almost certainly an IR, but surprised to not have been rejected already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw at GC that they had a visiting day with 50 candidates but made offer to only 30...if they are doing a second round maybe their yield are below expectations I didn't get much more info from USC unfortunately. The department is constrained by a policy of how to make offers and hopes to change this in the coming years. The visit day itself was great: the potential cohort had a great feel, the campus was beautiful, and the professors/current students were very relaxed and amicable in a way that felt authentic. Most of the people we met with are relatively new hires, so the department seems to have a strong upward trajectory. I would say, unfortunately for those who haven't heard yet, that USC definitely helped their potential yield rate a lot. If you get the offer it would be a great place to attend. If you have other offers but really want to go, I would email Jeff Nugent and ask him directly if you should keep waiting to hear something. They don't seem to have rejected anyone yet, so unfortunately hearing nothing at this point likely means IR. However, some people (who haven't heard) will invariably be closer to getting an offer than others, so it doesn't hurt to reach out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonFromFar Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Hi, has anyone not heard back from UCLA at this point (I am expecting an IR) but I've seen that lots of rejections have already been sent out, so whats going on? Same thing at UCSD and Davis! PS: I know some people on waitlists so I guess they are just rolling out rejections at a brutally slow pace at this point, but if anyone had any other info please let me know : ) Edited March 28, 2022 by AnonFromFar completing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proletariat Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Anyone going to the virtual meeting of UCSB tomorrow? I counted the number of non-UCSB emails on the invitation, and it ended up being sth close to 50. Holy cow. So basicially the number of waitlisted candidate is roughly 15-20, if not more.

PTI Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Question for people with offers at LSE and UCL: Do you guys have a sense of the industry job market for non-macro folks in the UK? I know that there exist at least some jobs in consulting, but are there tech based jobs in the UK, something similar to what exists in the US?

I know that there exist at least some jobs in consulting, but are there tech based jobs in the UK, something similar to what exists in the US? As far as I've heard, it is not as common as the US. However, there are jobs in data science (e.g. Deliveroo) or in tech in Europe (e.g. Amazon in Germany), although I do not know too much about the market in Europe. There are also places like IFS and CEP that hire PhD non-macro economists. Edited March 30, 2022 by kot88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
