"The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct, which with the addition of certain verbal interpretations, describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work." John von Neumann

DevelopmentEcon just joined TestMagic.

Decision: Rejected
Funding: N/A
Notification date: March 19

Comments: "The committee evaluated approximately 350 applicants for an incoming class of 20 students and the competition was quite strong"

That's OK with me; I'm more applied and already having to decide between OSU AED (Fellowship) and Wisconsin-Madison AAE (RA position) so it's good UIUC didn't add a 3rd school in there!
