Two years ago, they tried to be very transparent, putting all accepted and waitlisted students in a single Slack group and treating them equally on the visit day. But it was during COVID though, so we had a virtual visit day.

I haven't heard of anything yet. Since they have a very late deadline, maybe they will contact many students in waves?

does anyone know if caltech social science interviews all disciplines? trying to figure out if not getting an interview => rejection

I'm seeing Northwestern rejections on GradCafe but I have received nothing. Is this just a first cut? Did they notify you by email or on the portal?

It seems like a first wave of rejections, I also didn't receive anything

by email. I was also notified that my application was going to be reviewed by my second option at Kellogg.

same, and I’m noticing that a lot of the rejects in GC were sent to Kellogg — I wonder if this was them doing the people who put a second choice first so that Kellogg has more time.

What about UCSC? They sent an email saying they might send an interview offer, but no one from gradcafe updated about the interview offer.

[H157]

Typically I have seen only Yale releasing offers in this week the past few years, some release next week (like MIT Princeton)

 

[nordkette]

Maybe Michigan this week? They've released it in January for the last two years at least

Can any confirm that Cornell Applied Econ came out? Seeing an acceptance in grad cafe

[BRecon]

Notre Dame scheduled a few interviews on Friday 2nd, according to Grad Café. After that, there is no other actualization. If I have not been contacted yet, and they claim to be interviewing candidates in early February, can I start to lower my expectations? What do you guys think?

Yes, that’s me. Received an email a couple of hours ago from Yiyi Zhang Grazul (Graduate Field Coordinator).

Congrats!

Has anyone heard from UMich (Ann Arbor) or has unofficial info? 

[ajdjs]

Any confirmation on the Agricultural Economics program at UC Berkeley? There's a post on gradcafe but I didn't see any updates in my portal.

[jbitbpitnhl]

Does anyone happen to know why there have been two rounds of rejection on Gradcafe for Finance at Chicago Booth?

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.

A quick suggestion would be to reduce/update the pinned threads on the homepage. There's over an entire page of pinned threads, and this thread is buried on the second page. I thought the forum was dead because none of the threads on the first page had been updated in over a year.

I don't understand there is just no words from Umich this year. It has been one of the first university to give results in January.

Has anyone heard from Chicago Harris Public Policy? There are a few rejections in Jan on Gradcafe but silence later.

No, a bunch of them seem to have been referred to the Masters program.. maybe they are yet to send out any actual rejections yet.

It seems like Northwestern did the same thing. I imagine it’s common with schools where you can apply to multiple to get your first choice done early so your second choice has more time.
