LaborEconGuy Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Hey guys! I was wondering how many applications did you all submit this year. I went with 18, now I am feeling I should have submitted more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not receive an offer email and my portal status is still "Under Review". Curious if anyone has actually been accepted yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlb89 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Are there usually changes to applicants portals when universities reach decisions? Edited January 16 by jlb89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H157 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Sometimes there are, but they would tell you to see if there are any changes. Did you see any changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

special_econ Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Just out of curiosity -- why is the sweat thread so quiet this year? I was looking forward to visiting and reading this thread frequently in this stressful period 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking forward to visiting and reading this thread frequently in this stressful period 🙂 It's early and there's not much to talk about yet. But this forum does seem to be slowly dying (fewer new threads, virtually no results in last year's results thread). It's sad. But on the bright side, this sweat thread already has 2,000 views, so people still seem to care about what other people may be hearing.

InternationalApplicant Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Stanford's website says they release decisions in mid-January, does anyone know if it also said that last year when they actually released decisions in late February? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking forward to visiting and reading this thread frequently in this stressful period 🙂 It's quite unfortunate that it has been dying slowly—I remember looking for information here back in freshman year to start making plans for applications, and now that I am at the end of a predoc the forum is a quite quiet. Hopefully things heat up soon. 6 hours ago, InternationalApplicant said: Stanford's website says they release decisions in mid-January, does anyone know if it also said that last year when they actually released decisions in late February? I was wondering the same thing. I even tried to use https://archive.org/web/, but they don't have the one from last year LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Yes, it's very quiet. Especially compared to the heyday of the 2000s! I would like to make a run at reviving things over here; at this stage of my career, it'll be a labor of love. Well, it's actually always been that. But I'd really like to put in a few features to see where things go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startz Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Things have indeed been quiet here, which is a real loss for applicants. But let me mention that if you compare to the economics section of theGradCafe, it's still vastly busier here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure people's willingness to share their thoughts on applications hasn't changed, so I wonder where people went. EJMR is a whole different beast, gradcafe forum is even quieter, and reddit doesn't seem to have a similar community (r/academiceconomics is close, but I feel it's too broad).
