They did not even bother to match my scores to application portal in 65 days and sent acceptance without reviewing my application. On top of that, they do not respond my mails for 2 weeks.

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. lmao "the person I know" may be you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you know they didnt review your application? I went to the portal to check after reading your post and my GRE status is still not received lol. I hope my app was still considered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope my app was still considered Sorry, i might be exaggerating a bit but I just assumed it because many departments state that they will not review application that lacks official scores. I just received mail from UCLA. The mail says " Please note that it may take several weeks for scores to match. In the meantime, our reviewers are considering your application based on your self-reported scores. If you are accepted, we will follow up with requests for additional information". So we can say that they reviewed applications. Edited February 3, 2022 by Hyperplane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EconPadawanBR Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 This week has been surprisingly quiet so far. Either we will get a lot of results tomorrow, or many schools decided to delay releasing their decisions compared to last year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few Rochester waitlists have posted on GC. Should we brace ourselves for rejection in the coming days? No acceptances so far, this is getting tensed.

Santa Barbara would be a nice place to live while working on a tough econ PhD (imo); central coast weather is pretty nice. Apologies for the *maybe* dumb question, but how do you get an idea of which schools are the strongest in a particular specialty? I know of some options to determine this, but I am curious of others’ opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering whether not getting an email by now means an implicit rejection! 😭 I got the update email about their timelines for phd admission saying that they have sent out first wave emails to finalists for interviews and will send out more over the next few weeks.

One of the starting points might be to look at how well-published/highly-regarded the faculty who specialize in that specialty are at the school. And then see if that school has designated programs specifically for that specialty, like a laboratory (for behavioral econ, etc.), academic concentrations, and maybe also infer from the website as an additional reference point to see how the school presents that specialty (one of their strongest, not mentioned, or somewhere in between). And of course there's word of mouth, e.g., learning from people currently/previously affiliated with the specialty at the school, etc. Edited February 4, 2022 by prismaticrefraction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MujR Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) About Notre dame interview: I don’t think the subtext is correct! They may have sent interview invitations based on field of interest/submisison date/ alphabetical order! but then again, given how things are going, it is better to be pessimistic! 😞 Edited February 4, 2022 by MujR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of some options to determine this, but I am curious of others’ opinions. Thanks for the question. One good starting point would be to ask your professors about which schools best align with your interests. Although they may not work in your particular field of interest, they still have a pretty clear picture of the programs out there and their strengths. Then, faculty lists, topic-specific seminars, or placements, etc. at the schools can help narrow it down some more as mentioned above by prismaticrefraction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very helpful. I feel like I have a decent idea of which schools are particularly strong in certain areas, but I was wondering if there was some kind “list”, etc that others knew about that I didn’t. A lot of what I feel like I “know” about schools’ specialties is just from hearing things from others. My advisors have definitely been very valuable in this regard. Thanks again for taking the time to respond! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that was real.

Ugh I have a strong profile , comparable to the really strong candidates that got passed to Kellogg, and solid connections there and did not get passed on to Kellogg but have not heard anything so I feel like if they didn’t want me they would have sent me to Kellogg????!
