CptHook Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 4 hours ago, Mongoose said: Does anyone know if it is correct that Berkeley sends out waves of rejections prior to acceptances? Do you know how encouraging it would be to not have gotten that first cut? Thank you. At least last year they did and seems like they might be doing the same thing this year. I don't know if it's much of a positive sign if you survive a rejection wave. Last year I think the last wave had much more rejections than the prior ones (mine included).

bigdawg Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Does anybody have information about UC potentially cutting grad admissions this year and its potential affect for econ grad admissions? https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-01-27/uc-scrambling-to-pay-big-wage-gains-for-academic-workers-grad-student-cuts-loom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startz Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 This is likely to be decided differently on different campuses and probably differently across different departments on the same campus. It is not good. In many places there are not yet clear decisions. On the other hand, pay for graduate students is going up a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I actually hear nothing from any program. Especially I found on GC some of them started interviews. Does it mean it'll be a rejection for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but the raise is on the order of 30 percent first year plus another 20 percent the second year across all the UC's. Pay at Berkeley and UCLA will be somewhat higher. Much, much more than inflation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If funding solutions are as up in the air as your posts and that article suggests, how would a graduate committee conclude the optimal number of matriculants for this year with certainty?

Good question. We're wondering about that too! This will be a campus-by-campus decision. We (UCSB) do not have an answer. I'm told, third hand, that one other campus has been told to make many fewer offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWorry2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 anyone knows how much funding Penn State gives? like how much percentage of students get funded? and if they have a difference in funding (for instance, some got less, some got more, or all the same)? I got an offer with wl for funding, so worried i cannot get money. I don't want to pay even in the first year, there would be great pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwh_py Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Does anyone know how to prep for the 15 minute online interviews? Is it just a chance for them to review your CV, essays, interests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
