Congrats on your amazing admission results! For Harvard, Biz Ec at HBS usually wins all cross-admits. Here are some reasons: For advising...

I don't think HBS is where people who didn't get into Harvard go to (and similarly Stanford GSB is where people who didn't get into Stanford Econ go...

You don't have any Real Analysis/Advanced Calculus in your transcript. Most of the decent programmes implicitly require you to have taken at least up...

I don't understand what you mean by "sample size." What I'm saying is that for many applications it's obvious that the applicant wrote out a...

I understand that Harvard Business Economics is the same program as Harvard econ in terms of coursework and advising, but I'm asking whether there's...

I see this claim repeated often, but I find it very hard to believe. How on earth do you have a sample size for ‘curated’ vs ‘genuine’ (is there...

I think there is a lot of confusion here: HBS Bus-Ec and Northwestern MEDs are just standard econ programs. They participate in the same job market...

Congrats on your admissions! I wonder if we had interacted at the Stanford visit day hahaha. To answer your question, when I said "Northwestern", I...

Interesting that you bring up Northwestern. I also have an offer from Northwestern Managerial Economics and Strategy (their Business Economics...

When you say that "Business Econ programmes are also a lot more competitive" are you referring to admissions being tougher (I've already been...

As someone else going through admissions this cycle, there's nothing someone else can tell you about what school to go to. Yes, outside opinions...

Not very important to us. "Curating" applications almost always shows and looks fake. Good for a few laughs though when an applicant screws up the...

Also one more thing, while the range of T10-T60 makes sense to me, I wonder if applying to thirty programs was too much in the sense that you weren't...

With regard to Stanford GSB specifically, their "Econ Analysis & Public Policy" program is a top micro theory program thatshould compare favorably to...

If your interests lie in the intersection of Economics and Finance, always go for the business school option if you can stomach teaching...

I'm in the same place with WUSTL for now. Schools are facing extra uncertainty this cycle to and I think your intuition is right that not hearing...

I have a dual degree in Economics and Engineering. I had not motivation in my first year that's why I didn't perform well in preparatory mathematic...

I haven't heard back from a lot of schools that have apparently sent out both acceptances and rejections. Beginning to wonder if some of these...

Hi all, can anyone share some insights about the Bocconi Finance program? The information on other threads is dated. Have reached out to current...

Hey there -- George Mason University is still accepting applicants (until March 15). They have a fantastic OB department. PhD in Business |...

My friend didn't get a Berkeley update, but checked their portal and saw a rejection letter. If you haven't gotten an email from Berkeley, check your...

Tutonic is right. UC3M's PhD is very good. It doesn't have the placement record of BGSE's PhD program though, partly because it's less...

If you have terrible grades in mathematics, how sure are you that you'd even get into a good PhD programme to begin with? The purpose of doing a...

I was waitlisted too, fingers crossed. Do you have some idea of how long this waitlist is? A decent amount of posts about info of the WL have been...

Hi. Are you aware of any PhD program in Business Administration/Management in Canada that is still accepting new applications? I've applied to 6...

Thank you! What do you mean when you say “UT-Austin is almost competitive”? Almost competitive to UW for macro-labor? Or almost competitive to most...
