  1. Figures crossed about Cornell and Georgia State waitlists! Last week. C'mon guys!
  2. I think Rochester is better than Maryland on macro, so I'd choose Rochester.
  3. My 2 cents: If you got into another top 11 US News program (except for Penn), I'd go there instead of U Chicago. Otherwise, I'd go to Chicago.
  4. This post was exactly what I was thinking about when I was going to respond to this thread! Well-said.
  5. We have recommended that you re-take the GRE, because we believe you will be able to get into a much better PHD program... A 161 is not even 80 percentile on the GREs... It'll hurt you at a lot of schools.
  6. Then definitely apply to LSE. Also, with your stellar background: consider applying to US PHD programs alongside your LSE application.
  7. I'm a current graduate student at a similar middle ranking institution and when I applied, my advisors told me exactly that as a prerequisite to admissions in a top 30 place, so either my advisors are wrong and I got a higher than average result. But that help the OP know that if you get your GRE score as high as possible, it doesn't hurt.
  8. Then you won't get into the good programs on your list. Most of those good programs on your list have an average GRE Quant score of above 167. I've heard that a score of 167 might not be good enough to get into some of those good ones and only a score of 170 MIGHT guarantee success.
  9. Retake the Quant. Aim for close to a perfect score and you'll have a chance at the better schools on your list.
  10. I'd say a school below the top 30 would probably be the kind of program you're going to get in. Of course, I could be wrong.
  11. Seconded. You should perhaps not use your TA's recommendation...
  12. You're not competitive for a top 50. You don't have the math scores and you come from a low ranked school. You might be able to get into a school ranked below that.
  13. What's the ranking of the school that you're coming from? This will help whomever is trying to give you advice.
