Any info about duke waiting list update? Still hang there, still expect though low probability

[cheesy potatoes]

Still waiting for a rejection from UC Davis. It's ridiculous that I had to pay $135 to apply and just hear nothing at this point. 

[sicko]

I think the funniest is the NYU rejection nobody has gotten yet. I recorded a YouTube video for them and everything!

Did you mail them? It is possible that you are on the waitlist. 

[random123456]

Anyone heard anything from Iowa State?

[vixen]

Anybody know if anyone has moved off the waitlist for Cornell Dyson?

[SliferTheDragon]

Anybody who feels comfortable doing so, please share your profiles and results for those applying next year!

I got the rejection, so I believe some were notified. They are probably just extremely slow.

You are probably on the waitlist. I had heard nothing from them until last Friday when they emailed that I was on the waitlist, and if I was still interested

Between UNC Chapel Hill Econ PhD and WashU (St. Louis) Econ PhD, what is better?

I hear from XJMR forum that WashU has rude professors - is there any validation or first-hand experience here?

Does anybody have any insights that would help me decide between UCSD and UBC?

What are your fields of interest? Did you visit either school?

[zzzzzzz]

UW-Madison: received an email asking me to complete a survey to share the list of schools that I'm currently considering (including waitlists)
Did anyone receive the same email?

Last week of the cycle, LFG! If any of you are already declining offers, it would be helpful if you can post them over here 🙂

I declined offers from Columbia, Duke, Cornell, BU, UMD, and Penn State, and told UPenn, Brown, and UW-M to take me off their waitlists. Hope I've been of some help!

UC Davis, Penn State, and UVA. Can you please tell me which choice makes the most sense for me? My research interest is international economics(both trade and international macro) and macroeconomics.

Thank you for your opinion. Can you give me a reason for your advice? (Why not Penn State in particular, even though trade is one of my interests.)

- UW Madison

- Michigan

- NYU

- Penn

Any insight at all is helpful! Feel free to DM me if you'd prefer.

As far as I can tell, PSU is a very good option when you wanna do micro/metric theory. So if you wanna do trade in micro theory, then PSU can be an option. But, considering your interests in international topics and macroeconomics, UC Davis clearly dominates the others. (not to mention life in CA)

Any movement on UCLA waitlist?
