    NWU Upenn and especially NYU are all good at these. Also consider Notre Dame and Rochester
  2. Evonomist294
    Whats your research interest?
  3. Evonomist294
    I think you do have a shot at these schools except for MIT Harvard Princeton Berkeley. Do not apply there unless there is a massive boost to your profile from now until then, it will just be a waste of application money. Try applying to lower top 10 like NWU NYU. I would suggest applying to some pre doc as well if you aim for the very best (top 5-7, those mentioned in your OP). Also I wouldnt retake GRE, it is already good enough.

    I think Australia/ Singapore universities might be easier to get in than at least half of the schools in your list. Furthermore most Europe uni have a strict cutoff wrt GPA. I was rejected by all Europe schools while getting into 2 top 20 US. Also imo it is better to go to the best uni in a country rather third rate uni in another (except for the US and maybe UK)

    I think your gpa might be a bit too low for those schools. They are all respected universities in Europe. Try something in Singapore/ Australia as well.

    Have you thought about applying straightly? It seems you are shoes in for top 10. Top 5 might be hard but you have chance
  7. Evonomist294
    There is no need to panic. They want you just as much as you want them.
  8. Evonomist294
    Anyone got off UMN waitlist?
  9. Evonomist294
    Are you from third world countries? Getting job at fed or even imf and wb are not as easy as you think (coming from developed countries)
  10. Evonomist294
    I think you should go to LSE. I would only take something like Wisconsin or Minnesota (top 15) over LSE
  11. Evonomist294
    How many people were at NWU visiting day? Did they invite wl people?
  12. Evonomist294
    Why not do Msc bocconi? It has good placement
  13. Evonomist294
    do you still have the "your application is still under review"?
  14. Evonomist294
    I think everyone is invited to the visiting day Tough year
  15. Evonomist294
    What you can do right now is try to talk to current students atl the schools so that you will be able to make a decision quickly once the wl results come out. Or ask schools that wl you whether you can come to visiting day. Perhaps you might even be able to make up your mind right now and take the offer.
  16. Evonomist294
    Any new info? For admitted student did you get an invitation to the visiting day?
  17. Evonomist294
    You said “outright rejection” It means rejection without any consideration. This means it was a very easy task for Princeton admissions committee: 90% are outright rejected, they only need to read the 10% of applications left carefully to split into wl and admit.
  18. Evonomist294
    90% outright rejection is not possible . Even Princeton sent acceptances to 50 people (out of 800 applicants or so). I dont know how many were put on waitlist but wl + acceptances should already be close to 10%
  19. Evonomist294
    It seems UMN puts many stellar people on wl (those with top 10 and will reject them anyways). So if waitlist is not too long we have hope.
  20. Evonomist294
    I have been put on Minnesota waitlist. According to a poster on this forum it seems that UMN has been admitting people from the waitlist. Can anyone else confirm? A thread to share anxiety and information as well, similar to the Duke thread.
  21. Evonomist294
    Idk, if you want to do theory I feel the advantage of t10 and esp t5 is that big. So it is a coin toss for other fields definitely take umich I guess
  22. Evonomist294
    Anyone with any info on duke and minnesota (like how many people are on the waitlist and how many they accepted)
  23. Evonomist294
    I know many people with similar or better record than yours, most of whom are applying this year or next year. If there is nothing special about your profile (publication) then I believe even OSU will be a coin toss. It is just that competitive - there are people with 3.9+ gpa from respectable universities (top 50 usnews) who got nothing so far except some waitlist at top 30. Having said that, I also know people with similar background to you getting straight into top 10 without any predoc (lower top 10 though). In the end it depends on LOR perhaps. Have you thought about applying to some predoc or msc europe? If you are top 5% at lse eme then you have really good chance at northwestern and chicago
  24. Evonomist294
    People with better offers, please reject offers/ waitlist from lower ranked university as soon as possible. This is a tough year, let’s help each other.
  25. Evonomist294
    Any news on minnesota waitlist? They refused to tell me anything
