And with a rejection from LSE that ends my application season. Good luck to all of you still waiting! I don't envy you.

Princeton for me!

Was just rejected by Chicago. Just want to get the other 4 decisions and then I can move on with my life.

Yep, I haven't heard either.. I'm not letting myself hope though.

I haven't either. Driving me mad.

I had a similar situation for Chicago with one of my recs, so assume I'm rejected already too. Oh well! Good luck with everything :)

bump I am planning to apply to 5 of the top 10, 3 in the 15-25 range, and a few European schools (LSE, UCL, Toulouse). Do you think I am aiming too high? Thanks!

Am co-author on a paper which should be published soonish in good journal. Teaching Experience: Only tutoring Research Interests: Microeconomics, theory Concerns:Average GRE verbal and AWA. No teaching experience. Other: I got an award for being top of my year twice, a bunch of top of class awards for my econ classes, and got an award for being the top undergraduate at my uni. I have a few questions: 1) Do you think I should resit GRE to get a better verbal and AWA? I know that they are not weighted as highly as the quantitative, but am a bit worried that it doesn't send a good signal. 2) What tier of universities should I apply to? I would prefer the top ones, obviously, but would I have a chance? Thanks heaps!
