All of the above will take place over the span of about four to six weeks. I sent in my application but haven't heard anything. There probably is no need to contact us. I've been accepted but didn't receive financial aid. I cannot attend your institution without aid.
All applicants are always under consideration for financial aid.
However, all applicants are ranked from most to least promising. Requests to reconsider the ranking will only be honored if you have significant new information to present to us. Typically, this only happens if you retake the GRE or GMAT exam and score much better. The department also publishes a journal recently retitled as the Review of Financial Economics. Our program, like most Ph.D. programs is designed for the full time student.
