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!

Can whoever is monitoring this thread prevent names like "aspie" from being used?

Is anyone else still waiting on NYU and UCSD?

I've heard rumours that Nathan Nunn is also moving to Stanford. True?

What's up with NYU?

Congrats to the Michigan admits!!

Does anyone know about Princeton?

Princeton, NYU.. c'mon! I think UCSD will come out with some admissions this week.

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!

where do you think LSE fits on this?

to be frank, no.

I emailed saying "Dear XX, There is no rejection letter uploaded."

I don't want to see my rejection now :(

Stanford said I have a decision ready but there is no pdf letter. Why.

I would trade 10 dimes for 2 quarters. fact.

I would trade Harvard for MIT

ok thanks!

But you would have received an email saying that your letter is ready, right? I'm wondering when that email came.

to the Stanford admits: 1) congrats! 2) are those of you who are just posting your admit right now just receiving the email now? or is it from last night? thanks!
