  1. UCB website says they will notify the result by email but the result on GC is via website. I don't think is real.
  2. I am nearby Columbia and really want to run to the econ department to see my result since I can't focus on preparing my midterm exam at all.
  3. How about gain more research experience? You may be able to do short term RA with your professors and ask them to write the recommendation.
  4. Hi all thank you for reading this. I am applying for an economics PhD and a finance PhD. My undergrad major is econ (gpa 3.9) and minor is math (gpa 3.3). Now, I am a master student in a financial mathematics program (us top 10) and my fall grade just came out. I got A in stochastic calculus, A in time series, A- in introduction class, A- in business class and B- in analysis (phd level). I want to send my fall grade since some subjects would offset my low undergrad math grades but I am worried about B- in Analysis. Should I send my fall grade? Thank you in advance.
