This is an update on the status of your application for admission to
McMaster's Economics PhD program. We have sent out the first round of
admission offers, and we have turned down many other applicants.
Your file is being kept on hold in case we have room later on to make
you an admission offer. This will depend on the number of first-round
offers that are accepted. We will not have this information for a
couple of weeks yet.
