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. The scene is growing, and IMO a phd is worth the investment as the roles become more and more technical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I attended the visit day virtually hours ago. I am on the waitlist, and assuming by your waitlist counting, are you too on the waitlist? Seems like a lot of people are in the same boat. Btw, have you checked the UCSB homepage? There's a calendar for events and it says there's Prospective PhD Student Recruitment Day on April 1st. Wonder if there's a separate event for others.

I received an offer and therefore all corresponding info, though I won't go. April 1st is reserved for in-person events, which I think they only invite admitted students to visit the campus and they cover airline tickets, hotel and etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilgamesh Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Did anyone here go in person to the NYU open day last week? What was the vibe - did those in attendance indicate whether they were likely to accept? As a keen punter on the waitlist, my fate seems to rest on a lot of people having dominating offers...

I was there. The applied micro group seemed pretty bad, not enough professors and visible tensions between the different professors during their presentation. One of my friends who was also there already told me he is going to decline their offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubwagon1 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Quick q: I’ve only attended virtual visit days, but have an in-person one coming up. What is the typical dress code for in person visits? Business casual? A level below that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can add an alternative perspective to the one shared above: I thought the visit day went quite well and actually had a really good impression of the program, especially talking to the current grad students. That being said, many of the admitted students had dominating offers and there were not many initial offers given out to begin with, so I would expect a decent amount of WL movement (of course, this is just my guess and I cannot say for sure).

Not my field of interest so I wouldn't know. It was just awkward to be there. Oh, but for context, by "applied micro" this includes econometrics, development, IO, I think health was there... maybe more... they lumped a bunch of stuff together.

mtar3101 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Did everyone on UChicago's waitlist receive an email from Shimer a few minutes ago with UChicago letterhead and beginning: "I write to you with an update regarding the UChicago Economics waitlist. During the next two weeks we hope to be reaching out to many of you with offers to join our graduate program..." Trying to figure out if this is sent to those on top of the waitlist, or all of them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transatlantic Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Did everyone else on the UChicago waitlist just get an update email from Robert Shimer? Sounds like they will make some offers, but still, waitlist seems long so individual odds still low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quantitypham Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Has anyone heard from Texas A&M? I have received 0 communications from them since I started my applications despite reaching. I don’t care for this school anymore, but it feels like they just took my apps fee and dipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
