Just wondering on the UMich admits on gradcafe - it looks like the overwhelming majority are 'international'. Any idea on whether they released international admits first and haven't released domestic American admits yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlopryEmmy Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 The answer is definitely no. If you are the admission office, you don’t have to wait for couple days to release rejections if all the acceptances are released. There must be a second wave acceptance released with rejections. They might be evaluating the enrollment based on first wave situation. Don’t be too anxious. Relax and wait for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you think if you aren't accepted in initial round of acceptances, you are essentially rejected? About two-thirds of econ PhDs go to international students, which doesn't exactly answer the question but is probably close. https://www.aeaweb.org/content/file?id=16201. Many schools have a waitlist, often sending out a few more acceptances quite late in the process.

I agree with your sentiment generally (no need to be anxious) but would like to also point out that unfortunately some schools do first release all acceptances and for some reason release the rejections later on, without any additional acceptances or waitlists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseDoNotTroll Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 2 hours ago, Mongoose said: It's demoralizing how competitive this field is. Looking at Grad Cafe's stats on rejections and waitlists, it seems even doing great at a masters and doing a predoc may not be enough. Do you think it's the institutions from which applicants are coming or LORs that makes the difference, over test scores and GPA? Or do you think it's just luck? It’s definitely not luck! For better or for worse, econ PhD admissions compensate those who realized they wanted to do academia early. These people took the right classes (Real Analysis, linear algebra, advanced micro,…), started talking with professors early, took care of their GPA and avoided super hard classes where is difficult to do well (phd micro). In other words, they knew how to play the "game". They picked up stata early and was easier for them to find a great predoc. That being said, conditional of having a good GPA, I think the consensus is that LORs are the most important factor. That is why predocs, for most people, are better than paying 30k to do a masters at LSE. But not all predocs are created equal, the professors need to be somewhat recognized in their field and, more importantly, need to have recommended students in the past. That being said, if you were rejected by Michigan, don’t lose hope! This is one of the first offers to come, and there is still plenty of programs that could offer you a spot! For example, Paul Goldsmith-Pinkham (prof at Yale SOM) recently tweeted that he was rejected by Michigan, MIT, Harvard, Yale, Penn, Booth,… and got accepted at Columbia, HBS, and Wisconsin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenerife Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Does any of you happen to know what the interview was like for the MECS program at Kellogg in past years? I haven't heard anything from them, so please don't fret. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrapp Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I have some related questions… Does MECS interview normally? And do you know when do them normally send out results?

BLUE Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I see that many applicants in gradcafe have posted that they "did not submit GRE" for the UMichigan-Ann Arbor application, as if it was optional. However in the website Michigan states that "Starting with the 2022-2023 Admission season, the GRE will no longer be accepted and therefore does not need to be submitted." Am I missing something here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iampain0 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 It was not optional. There was no option/section within their application to submit GRE scores. I'm not sure what would have happened if one had instructed ETS to send them scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious about the answers to other questions from mrapp as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
