  1. Hi there! I have an acceptance to a top-25/30 phd program, and was recently accepted into LSE's 1-year MSc Econ. If I went to LSE, my plan would be to reapply to phd programs the following year. I understand that the masters probably won't help much to get into a higher school, and I could very well end up dropping down the list. Thus, I see plenty of obvious advantages for the phd program: its funded, guaranteed, and the most streamlined way to get to my goal. However, I can't shake the feeling of how cool and interesting living/studying in London for a year would be. I would greatly appreciate any advice/experience you guys have with this. (Also, information online is kind of cluttered: If I went into a phd with a masters from LSE, would that likely count towards any of the core coursework, or would I be starting over from year 1 of the program?) Thanks in advance for your help!
  2. Just got the email from Boston University! I'm extremely excited (and relieved) after getting one waitlist, one rejection, and a LOT of silence over the past 3 weeks. I haven't posted often on this forum, but I've really enjoyed being able to follow along and know that I wasn't alone in this stressful journey, so thank you to everyone!
  3. Hi everyone! I'm currently on the waitlist for the University of Virginia, and just received an email inviting me to their open house in a couple of weeks, as well as offering to reimburse some of my travel expenses. Is it normal for waitlisted students to get a supported trip to an open house? Does that imply anything about my position on the waitlist, or do you think all the waitlisted students got the same offer?
  4. Yeah, I’m in the same boat. No word from NW, online application still looks the same.
