Hey all - I might be jumping the gun a bit here, but since we're all bored and waiting, I figured we could get the complete application decisions/profile thread going for next year's crop of students. It'll also let us keep track of how we're all doing. Think of it as the testmagic version of the econphd.net decision tables So...
1. Post your
complete profile - GRE scores, overall GPA, (important) classes with grades, type of undergrad university, any research or teaching experience, who you got recs from and what you expect they're like (average, strong, super strong, etc), work experience (if relevant), and anything else you think will have bearing on your admissions decisions. I'm going to post my info in what I think is a pretty clear format, which you're welcome to copy, but don't have to. But do try to keep it easy to read.
2. Post the
schools you applied to in a clear format - if you want to, you can list them roughly in how much you want to attend or how good they are.
3. As decisions roll in,
edit your initial post so that your profile + where you got in is in the same post. This will make it clear and easy for us and future generations of testmagic posters to see where people are getting in. Also, post the date and way you were contacted if you're comfortable with doing that.
4. This thread
isn't meant to replace the "whee I got into [blank]" threads, which I'm sure will be popping up sooner or later.
Those are an important part of this community, but that's not what this thread is for. I'd like to keep chatter on the thread to a minimum, so it can stay a resource for now and later.
