    UChicago posts are likely to be fake. My friend called Chicago, and the automatic response said the office is closed till 11th of February. Professor Akcigit and his assistants don't pick up either. Both people claiming on this forum they got an offer, created their accounts yesterday. All posts on GC seem to be written by one person who's trying to make them look slightly different. I might be wrong but that's how it looks like.

    I can't say where you should apply because I don't have enough experience, but I think you could potentially retake your GRE to improve the quantitative section. 164 might be enough, but that's the only thing that you can improve right now, so maybe you should at least try. Can you give your grades for maths courses?

    I think it's quite pointless to expect it to come in the next couple of days. Chicago usually replies mid/late February - well, last year was exceptional, but perhaps that was an isolated case.

    Well said, I'd stick to that piece of advice. Though statistical inference (at least at my uni) was quite a poweful course, without which advanced econometrics would not be managable.

    You're very wrong in discrediting stochastic OR. Depending on syllabus, it might include Markov chains and processes, Poisson processes etc, which are quite crucial and often very proof-based (again, depends on syllabus).

    None of the courses you've mentioned are maths, unless your probability classes are measure theoretic. Any of these classes should be fine, and perhaps none of them are really fundamental apart from inference.

    Folks, last night I received an e-mail from OSU with the acceptance (which appeared on the webste a couple of days earlier). However, it doesn't mention anything about funding apart from the info that I need to have sufficient amount of money for the duration of the course. Is it a standard thing that information about funding comes later?

    Best of luck with that!

    Hi, I posted that :) I haven't received any e-mails, but the status on the applicant's portal changed from "Pending" to "Decision". Then under the "Application Status" it says "Congratulations - you have been offered admission! Use the link on the main page of the Applicant Center to accept or decline.". Probably they have just started updating the system, so don't worry, your status might change very soon!

    Haha that's a whole new level of applications anxiety :)

    Fingers crossed and good luck, buddy

    Folks, shall we expect OSU to reply today/tomorrow?

    Wow, that's so early! Congrats!

    Reference process is usually done online, but can vary, and maybe they deal with it differently. Funding is usually provided, but it also varies. Usually in the UK you choose your supervisor before, but different schools may have different rules. Your questions are very specific and can only be answered by somebody at Manchester. You should rather email the university directly.
