杳无音信，如何查询

UMNLIUY

请教各位：

好多学校已经发出offer 和一些据信好一段时间， 可是自己的申请还是一点音信也没有， 发信问也是石沉大海。 但现在想早些结束申请的煎熬， 却苦于一些学校不给回应。 请问达人， 该如何是好呢? thanks 先！

just call the department head.

我也是一点动静没有，不过自己该做什么就做什么，提高自己的科研实力还是挺有用的。

我现在一方面在等待，另一方面准备朝着自己的研究方向继续学习，今年不行，就准备继续申请。

希望楼主能拿到offer！

现在心情和楼主是一样的，不管是Positive的，还是Negative，只想赶快消除Uncertainty。

why not send an email to them saying you got offer from Duke and UMN and you need to know the result earlier? By the way, what is the DL to make the decision for these two school?

UMNLIUY

To answer truchang:

Thank you for your advice. For Duke, I believe they made the decision together and then assign certain amount of offers to a few faculty members. So those faculties would have to keep in contact with those to whom they sent out the first round offers. The one who contacted me is an indian guy who is interested in Econometrics.

For Calson, it is Professor Aggarwal. The spelling may not be exactly correct.

thank you, UMNLIUY

I am sorry I didnot state my question clearly. I am asking when is the deadline for making decision for these two schools.

So you are also doing econometrics? which part are you interested in? I am thinking about doing some risk management modeling, but it seems they dont like my SOP.

不是这样的。实际上那个人是金融系的PhD Director，而PhD的录取实际上是由系做决定的，而这个决定通常基本上由这个系的PhD Director一手抓的。

Oh,no, my background is in statistics, so they might be interested in it. I have no idea what Econometrics is right now. For Duke, the DL for making decision is 4.15 as usual. For Carlson, I don't quite know.

I don't know if SOP is the crucial part of their evaluation, but maybe the PhD director likes those whose interests cater to his own flavor.

Thank you for your correction, jimmycen.

比Duke强的没几个学校了吧？  楼主还在等哪个？
