PROFILE: Type of Undergrad: A university from a Southeast Asian country. It is well-known in the country but globally unknown. Undergrad GPA: 3.36/4 Type of Grad 1: Master's program in Econ at a decent university in Japan, but unknown globally Grad 1 GPA: 4.40/5, kind of 4.0/4.0 in the US Type of Grad 2: Master's program in Econ at a US state flagship university. Grad 2 GPA: 3.927/4.0 GRE: V 141/ Q 170/ A 3.0 Math Courses: Calculus (B), Linear Algebra (A), Stat (B) taking in the US: Intro to Real Analysis I, II (A, A), Intro to Abstract Algebra (A), Grad level Math Stats I, II (A, in progress) Econ Courses: Mostly everything Other Courses: Letters of Recommendation: my former advisor from Grad 1 and advisor from Grad 2, both are good, the third one is probably good. Research Experience: 3 semesters working as a Grad RA. Doing thesis in undergrad, and both Grad. Have 3 working papers and 2 papers is in progress. Teaching Experience: 1 semesters working as a TA in Japan. Research Interests: Everything related to development, labor economics, and agricultural economics SOP: OK Other: RESULTS: Acceptances: Wisconsin AAE with RAship, Iowa State, NCSU (get into the second round of funding offer but refuse to take it), Bocconi and Master in Mathematics at the current institution with TAship Waitlists: UC Davis ARE (just got rejected) Rejections: BU, NYU, Wisconsin Econ, UIUC Pending: Attending: Wisconsin AAE Comments: I am happy about Wisconsin AAE.Wisconsin AAE is a good place since I am going to be assigned to work with an advisor who knows a lot about the work I am intending to do. I was not even 100% serious about applying, because I was so busy with my RA work. And I had some personal reasons to stay at the same institution for a Master in Maths. I don't retake GRE, I took it 2 years ago in Japan. What would you have done differently? Probably working harder in college. I don't think I can get into any better school with my undergrad GPA. Wisconsin is good enough for me because the program is good and I will have a chance to take classes in their econ department. Anyway, I don't wish to change anything, because I am happy with what I've already had.

next week, bro!
-
Did you get funding from Wisconsin AAE? I would go to Wisconsin AAE because it is the top choice I have, haha.
-
I am still waiting for results from BU and NYU as well. I don't understand why it takes so long for them to make the decisions.
-
Probably Iowa has just started looking at the application.
-
Thanks. I also have not heard from them yet.
-
Has anyone not heard back from Boston University? Is that an implicit rejection for Boston University?
-
Are you talking about Econ or AAE?
-
It is a disappointment.
-
Congratulation!
-
I haven't heard anything from Wisconsin yet
-
might be just typo.
-
The same with the length of paper reviewing process. The longer the better.
-
they might want to surprise people when they wake up tomorrow, haha

has anyone heard back from Winsconsin AAE regarding funding?
