^ This file is awesome. I see this is based on data from Urch. I wonder if the average GPA of posters here is higher or lower than average. Are people that come to Urch more on top of their stuff (==> higher GPA) or are more concerned about their prospects (==> lower GPA)?

Just so that future readers aren't misled by the above, there is definitely selectivity bias in who chooses to report GPA on canigraduate.uchicago. The average GPAs there differ significantly from what the College Advisors will tell you in private.

OP -- best of luck with your application. We have quite similar profiles; please if you have a chance, check out my PM! Thanks.

Hey guys -- My question is pretty much the title. It seems like some of the Federal Reserve banks are better than others for (a) doing actual research and (b) placement into PhD programs. FRB New York and FRB Chicago, from what I gather are the top two. Is this assessment correct? And what other banks are worth applying to? Thanks!
