  1. A textbook example on how to spot someone who calls the racist/sexist EJMR stuff a healthy amount of teasing and humor: he/she uses the word “snowflake” out of context of meteorology/weather-forecasting/climate science.
  2. nice and thanks for posting!! I did and really hope they're still sending interview requests...
  3. Also rejected from Yale, but oh well, still early... I hope everybody hears good news soon! I have to say, Valentine's Day rejection is a bit mean, haha (though I suppose if I got an acceptance I might feel different).
  4. Now two Yale rejections on GC. I still don't see anything.... Confusing / stressful, haha...
  5. Maryland is around the end of February based on last few years (~Feb 27).
  6. Not sure... I feel like it's possible we'll only see the two (or a couple more) acceptances on GC since it's a smaller program (there are only a couple of acceptances from 2 years ago, for example).
  7. I haven't... Guessing probably means rejection, but who knows.
  8. Congrats - amazing!!! Did you get a notification from ApplyWeb or a personal e-mail?
  9. I'm wondering the same!! From last year it looks like NYU and NYU Stern decisions came out later... This is stressful. :eek:
  10. Hi Everyone - just trying to see whether I should widen my reach before sending my LOR writers my list of schools. Thank you for any advice!! -- PROFILE: Type of Undergrad: Top 10 private Undergrad GPA: 3.55/4.00 Major: Engineering Minor: Computer Science GRE: Q: 168, V:162, W:4.5 (might retake) Math Courses: Linear Algebra and Real Analysis (A-), Mathematical Methods (Multivar, Diff Eq) (B+), Graph Theory and Combinatorics (B+) Econ Courses: Intermediate Micro (B+, took without intro), Environmental Econ (A-) Computer Science Courses: Intro to CS, Networks, Visualization, Data Structures and Algorithms Other Courses: Lots of quantitative science, physics, engineering courses, mostly A- / B+. LORs: One from an engineering professor with whom I've taken two courses in college, will be strong. Two others from econ professors I'm currently working with (will be strong but have known me only for a few months and they're on the younger side). Research Experience: Currently a full-time RA for economists at a business school (at Top 10 econ program university). One summer internship from college. Work Experience: Worked in finance for two years before starting my current RA job. Research Interests: Applied Micro, IO, Environmental Basically, college was a pretty hard time for me for personal reasons. I worked a lot part-time (around 15 hours) and had family stuff going on, and often overwhelmed myself with too many pretty hard classes. So my grades are not great at all and back in the day, I just wanted to get a good job after graduation. After about a year in finance, thought more about long term goals and that's why I decided to switch to a full-time RA role, but for visa reasons can't stay for another year. I'm planning on applying to several Top 10 and many other Top 25ish programs but wondering if I should widen the range of schools... I'm also applying to a few Master's. Thanks everyone!
