Waiting for additional interview invites to come and worried if there might not be any more 😞 But does USC normally hold interviews for PhD admission?

Or do they have multiple acceptance rounds? I sent an inquiry on my status and got an immediate response from the program coordinator, saying that they made decisions weekly and I still need to wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I was quoting about Rochester, are you referring to another school? Or did you receive an interview invitation from Rochester? It seems unusual and I am not sure about its meaning, anyway, good luck to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdylan Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Anyone here accepted/applying to University of Minnesota Applied Econ program? There were some acceptances posted on gradcafe last week. In my application checklist (in the application status page) now there are official transcript items marked as "waiting". I wonder if that is an indication of acceptance coming? Anyone else has seen that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the stats from last few years- https://econ.ucsb.edu/programs/graduate And UCSB doesn't require GRE, this can be another reason. I believe they will easily cut down 100 just looking at the math courses. Just curious, was the GRE optional or was it outright "Do not send to us"?

I think UCSB said "we are not considering GRE" I think UC Berkeley did this too if I'm not mistaken? People could still send it but they wouldn't look at it or consider it in the application review process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The application instructions page say that it is not required or accepted. The application portal too didn't ask for self-reporting the GRE, nor does it show receipt of official GRE scores post submission. That's as close to "Do not send to us" as it gets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimeJuice12 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Does anyone think that the Harvard (and MIT) acceptances on Gradcafe are fake? There's only one or two of them and at least for Harvard its pretty early. While I don't think I have a chance at both, still sucks to get rejected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another advantage that an american has is that there is really little barriers to calling and chatting up with the departments or just having connections. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely skeptical and take grad cafe with a grain of salt when it's one individual post with no others following it. With the Stanford + UMich rejections for example it was clear there were mass decisions being sent out. Might be different later on in the cycle and for non top schools 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interview for H or M? Perhaps it's something new this year (I don't recall either of those interviewing econ applicants in years past but maybe things are changing). 4 hours ago, CornellEnglishMajor said: I'm definitely skeptical and take grad cafe with a grain of salt when it's one individual post with no others following it.

Might be different later on in the cycle and for non top schools I don't think there would be a lot of posts "following" any Harvard/MIT acceptances, since if you look on gc they usually send out acceptances/waitlists first before waiting like a week or so to send out rejections. Given that only 3 people posted their Stanford acceptance on gc this cycle, that may be about all we get.

It was an interview next week for MIT Sloan Finance, judging by GC Sloan had a few straight acceptances and a few calls for interviews today.

I too received this informal acceptance. Email from program asked if I was still interested in the program/didn't have dominant offers as they thought my profile would fit very well into their university. I responded yes and received a reply that offers would be out in 10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
