  1. I got into a top 5 school from a Canadian school with a B in Intro to Proofs and no analysis. That grade is not a death sentence. It looks like you have a solid academic background, so don't worry too much. My advice would be to invest a lot in research. Not only is this good for the admissions process, but it is good for your career as a research economist as well. I think a big problem with this forum is that people tend to focus on getting into a school and not what comes next. While getting in is obviously necessary, it is not the end. I think that if you work hard at your classes and, most importantly, research, you'll be fine. Maybe I'm overly optimistic. Anyway, apply widely and have a contingency plan (like applying for RA positions or Masters programs). If you get shut out the first year, apply again!
  2. Can whoever is monitoring this thread prevent names like "aspie" from being used?

  9. Does anyone know about Princeton?
  10. Princeton, NYU.. c'mon! I think UCSD will come out with some admissions this week.
  11. I'm also curious about this. I would generally say that LSE is a top15, maybe even a top 10 in particular fields. Would others argue differently? Thanks for your input!
  12. where do you think LSE fits on this?
