AccountingPhD2014

Any other Accounting PhD applicants here?

Including application fees, standardized exam scores (some schools wanted official score reports), and transcripts from two different schools.... around $3,000.

I applied to 21... got rejected by 1, advanced to on-campus interview with another, got accepted by 1, and waiting to hear from the other 18...

Right there with you... got my first rejection before my first acceptance. Stung. I was surprised to hear from them so soon -- only two weeks after I submitted the application. Ouch. A few days afterward, I got an e-mail saying I passed the Skype Interview and I am invited for an on-campus interview. Not sure how many others are invited and how many will be chosen from that bunch. It's my #3 choice. Still haven't heard from my first two choices. I've been trying to stay calm while the number of Interviewed applicants on the Results page increase... but I've only seen Internationals being interviewed by my #1 school. I wonder why? Needless to say, I have not been productive lately... I need help.....

Good to know... that makes sense. If this were Facebook or LinkedIn, I'd "Like" your comment -- thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!

Hmmm makes sense. So... what's the difference between Waitlist and Silence?

Generally speaking, what does it mean when you see that other applicants have received acceptances, rejections, and waitlists, while your application still says "In Review" for you? Do schools interview in waves? Or have I been completely overlooked?

Is it considered "over eager" if I request to sit in on a seminar the day before the on campus interview?
