Relax! I wouldn't worry too much about this. You still have three more years to prove yourself. Doing well in other math classes/advanced courses would easily offset the B+ in calc. I think many TMers would agree that strong recommendation letters from well-known/well-connected professors are the most powerful element in making into the T10 so make sure you identify your letter writers in advance and keep your eyes peeled for RA positions with famous profs. Let the bygones be bygones and work hard! :)

Hi, Did anybody attend either flyouts to Wisconsin Madison or Michigan? I wasn't able to make it due to schedule conflicts. Could you share your impressions? It would be a great help for those who weren't able to attend. Thanks in advance :)

Thank you for all the helpful inputs! @chisquared, was BU's fly-out on the same week as Michigan's?

Rejected from NWU finally. Last name starts with L.

Hi guys! I am one of those TMers who are wait-listed for U Michigan and invited to their preview day (March 22). Attending the preview day would have been a no-brainer if I were a US resident, but I'm not. I'm also planning on attending another visit day in April (my top choice, again wait-listed :( ) so two round-trip flights are quite a stretch on my budget. So far I have a fellowship offer from Wisconsin-Madison but I'm not sure whether Michigan is a better program than UWM such that I should forgo the fellowship and attend the fly-outs hoping to be admitted off the wait list. My research interests lies in empirical IO, labor, education, public economics.. flexible within the field of applied micro but with a bent toward IO. Also I strongly prefer departments where students and faculty are collaborative and supportive... which makes things even more difficult since Michigan seems to fit into both criteria! What do you guys think? Is cashing out an extra $2000 for a flight to Detroit worth it? I would really appreciate your thoughts and wisdom on this.

Same here. Pretty sure it is a rejection

Even one is stressful for me but five?! :( But weren't you accepted to Yale? At least it is not a complete shut-out and Yale is an awesome school!

Oops hgn sorry for the down vote! The button was too small on my iphone screen. Good luck on your results :-)

Oops @hgn I accidentally downvoted your admission post, sorry! The button was too small on my iphone screen. Good luck :-)

Oops @hgn I downvoted your admission post by mistake, sorry :( The button was too small on my iphone screen. Even though it's a waitlist still congrats! Hope you get admitted off the waitlist :)

Maybe a year or two of RAing would significantly increase your chances next time you apply? But then again, the admission process (especially the T10) has become increasingly random...

Congrats! Wish I could hear something non-negative from them too.

Still no news from NWU.... :(

Congratulations! I don't see anything on my 'review activity' page.. Either a decision has not been made yet or a rejection is about to come in my email. But anyways, congrats pochi184!

Mine also starts with L and a decision has not been rendered yet. I guess we'll be able to hear something from NWU this week.
