congratulations!!!!!

I do not mean to scare you, but in your case, 100 ( if you have it) % average in undergrad coursework means very little. To compensate you need two things, 1) Strong letters of recommendation, preferably from people who hold phds - if you've had this in mind for the past 3 years, you probably have good relations with some of your professors, 2). Take the GRE and ace it, it could help compensate your signaless degree. 1) + 2) Could help you get into some master degree abroad and get a decent job afterwards. Easier said than done. If your are talking about the top 3 masters programs in Mexico, you'll have an easier time studying abroad. Unless we are talking about top master (theoretical) degrees elsewhere, then you'll have comparable suffering. Seems to me that a master in econ, at this moment, is not for you. You should be looking at those business + econ, applied + econ , public policy master degrees or simply work for a year or two and see what you think. By the way, if you want to get into a top MBA, you probably need at least two years of work experience at some middle management position + sh*t load of money.

up!!!

So, which schools are you guys visiting ? when is campus visit for each school? Share your experience with those who could not go.

I think it's about time you heard from them, maybe a decision has been made, but for some reason they haven't notified you. You should write them.

So what's happening over here!? It has been slow lately. Are programs moving to a second round of offers? Have you guys decided where to go? Any of you still waiting to hear from any program?

I heard (today) they sent a first round of funding decisions.

Share your experience.

It would be interesting to hear different opinions. I am in a similar dilemma.

So what is the plan behind attending an open house before you have been fully admitted or are still under consideration for funding? In your opinion, to what degree does it influence decisions?

I just checked minnesota's website: rejected from app econ. :dejected:

That's right.
