  1. Hi guys, thinking about reapplying. I'm still waiting for a couple of results, but I'm not so confident anymore. 0a/1w/5r + 2 implicit. I think I overshot my chances (applied to a mix of ranked 1 ~ 70 with a goal of something between 20 ~ 30), but I'm not quite sure. Type of Undergrad: Mathematics & Business (120 ~ 130 ranked undergrad) Undergrad GPA: 3.88 GRE (V / Q / AW): 162 / 161 / 4.5 (hoping to improve GRE to 166+ next time.) Math Courses: 1st Year Calc series, Multi Calc Series (All A's), Linear Algebra Sequence (A, -A, A), Probability Courses (A, A), Ordinary Differential Equation (A-, one in progress), Topology (All A's), Intro to Complex Analysis, (A), Game Theory (in progress), Advanced Calculus (A-, one in progress), Intro to CS (A) Econ Courses: Intro + Intermediate Micro/Macro (All 4 A's), Intro to Econometrics (A), Industrial Organization (A), International Trade (A) Teaching Experience: No in-class experience. But I was a reader/ out-of-class TA for a business professor for 2 quarters Research Experience: No publications. Math research that's more related to CS. Was a RA for a business professor a couple of years. Research Interest: Economic History. Developmental Economics. Concerns: Non-Econ major. Low GRE score, hope to fix this next time around. I took it once without studying for it. Underestimated the time crunch I guess. SOP quality. 2/3 letters from Economic professors. The third is from a math professor. UC Davis is my goal. Do I have a chance if I up my GRE? What can I do during my one year of break?
  2. Are UC Davis and UCSD done with acceptances?
  3. Haven't received anything from UCSD, either. Got an offer for Arizona State interview, though.
  4. A post for UC Davis popped up. Can someone confirm?
  5. Congratulations on being accepted! I can't tell you how the graduate econ program is at UCR, but I can tell you that Anaheim to UCR is about an hour away. Usually you'll take the 91 freeway to UCR to commute, which can get pretty congested during rush hours (morning & around 6pm on a normal day). My friend opted to stay near campus, though she is from around Anaheim, herself. I know plenty of people who commute on a daily basis from that area, though.
  6. Looks like some Stanford rejections are out on gradcafe edit: My bad, some posters down bottom let me know its GSB & not Econ. Sorry
  7. But not for the UC's/California schools right
  8. I'm becoming less doubtful lol. There's another post for Stanford... edit: also, looking at previous sweat threads, it looks like this is around the time Stanford sends out acceptances
  9. I don't see it anymore. Maybe it's a false alarm :O
  10. Congrats! When & how did you get contacted?
  11. Seconded - except mine was a rejection email... Best of luck to the rest. I'm quite surprised since many have told me rejections usually come out during March. But I guess it's nice to know sooner than later.
