tm_member Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Similarly to previous years, this thread is to share hopes, anxieties, and disseminate information throughout the waiting period. Go nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikal Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Has anyone here that is applying to Maryland successfully fill out their fillable PDF for coursework? Having a hard time with the font size. I just limited the number of words I fill in so that it won't get too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
app77 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Has anyone here that is applying to Ohio State have a "Completed" in the LoRs? I'm sure that at least one of my recommenders submitted his letter, but I still have an "Incomplete" in all of them. I also have an "Incomplete" for mt transcripts, but I suppose that to classify the hard-copies of transcripts take more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was submitted 3 weeks early and the two others were submitted close to the deadline. I have complete on my transcripts and I'm not even sure if they made it before the deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srb1221 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Griedman and app77: I was just about to reply to this saying that I had the same situation, but then I just checked again right now, and suddenly my status says "In review" and all of my LORs are listed as being received. I know one of my recommenders sent in the letter 2 days before the deadline. Check again, they may have just merged the application system and the application status system tonight. Good Luck! (although not too much luck..I wanna get in too!) Edited December 6, 2012 by srb1221 problems with quoting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekovu Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 And now, with two hours to go, I will complete Berkeley's "diversity statement" :disgust: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekovu Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Eh screw it, I'm just going to delete every reference to the NSF in my GRFP personal statement and submit that. Here's to hoping no one looks at this thing. And thus ended the conversation with myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForbiddenDonut Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Has anyone here that is applying to Ohio State have a "Completed" in the LoRs? I'm sure that at least one of my recommenders submitted his letter, but I still have an "Incomplete" in all of them. I also have an "Incomplete" for my transcripts, but I suppose that to classify the hard-copies of transcripts take more time. My LORs now show "Complete" and they were submitted the week of the deadline. Transcripts should have gotten there 3-4 days before the deadline but are still marked "incomplete." However the admissions portal states "Transcripts can take up to 15 business days to be marked Completed from the date they are received in Graduate Admissions." I'm not really sweating that until it's the middle of the month and they're still not marked Complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
to2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Has anyone that applied to USC received any communications from the econ. department regarding receipt of GRE scores or transcripts, or a link to a website for checking the status of the application?

alwaysthinking Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 And now, with two hours to go, I will complete Berkeley's "diversity statement" :disgust: Haha, that's exactly what I did.

app77 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Has anyone that applied to UC Davis knows about the "Prerequisite Course History" section? Should I have to left in blank those chemistry, biology, etc stuff, and only fill the math and statistics parts? Does the subsection of "courses in the program" should be used to economics courses or is it only intended for courses taken at Davis? Sorry if it is a silly question, but I want to be sure ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysthinking Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Maybe not the happiest post, but what are people thinking of as backups, in the horrible unfortunate case where nothing (PhD, MSc, RA position) works out?

Sorry if it is a silly question, but I want to be sure ;) The program should list prerequisites on its course description page. In which case, this is to say that you meet those requirements.

I myself am trying not to think about it... I am trying to not think about it either...but I think I'll just jump into MS in Statistics at the low ranked local state school where I getting my current econ master's. I might try to get into industry....or maybe move to San Diego and try out a Box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthxdill Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Is everyone just about done with their "Dec 15" batch of applications? Thoughts? I applied to U Washington, UC Davis, and Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griedman Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Is everyone just about done with their "Dec 15" batch of applications? Thoughts? I applied to U Washington, UC Davis, and Michigan. No, that's going to be the worst day of this process. I have a real analysis 2 final exam the day before and I need to send 5 applications on the 15th. I still need to modify my SoP:s for two schools. I have a feeling I won't be sleeping much :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiafei9014 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 For anyone that submitted to Yale, has your GRE score been received? Mine still says GRE not received even though I order the report back in October and pretty much every other school has received it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
